Hair Growth for Men

Health benefits at a glance:

Are you struggling with thinning hair? Research shows that specific plants can promote hair health. 

Hair Growth for Men combines two clinically researched extracts shown to support hair growth, thickness, and overall appearance. This supplement is gluten-free and non-GMO.

Why it works:

Supporting hair growth

This formula is designed for men’s thinning hair and can promote hair fullness, thickness, and volume. It delivers two standardized hair-supporting extract blends: 

• ActriSave®: A duo of black rice and prickly pear

• Vispo®: Featuring saw palmetto

Reducing hair loss

Healthy hair growth starts at the roots, and supporting hair follicles, the hair root cells, is essential for hair health. 

The hormone DHT is involved in sustaining the condition of hair follicle health, and an increase in DHT is associated with hair loss and decreased hair growth. 

Hair Growth for Men can help reduce shedding by maintaining normal levels of DHT.

The science behind the product:

An extract combo of black rice & prickly pear

In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 86 men aged 18 to 55 took 250 mg of the combination of black rice and prickly pear extracts daily for 6 months. The results were measured using participant questionnaires and phototrichogram analysis, a clinical scoring of hair growth by an expert.

Photographic assessments reviewed by experts showed positive results in 95% of hair regrowth scores for those taking this extract combination, versus only 34% in the placebo group. (1)

The questionnaire also revealed positive feedback; 75% of participants in the extract group were satisfied with their hair after six months. Over 63% reported seeing results within the first two months of taking the black rice and prickly pear combo. (2) 

Standardized extract of Saw Palmetto

In a randomized, double-blind study, either a special, standardized saw palmetto extract or a placebo was given to participants between 18 and 50 years old.

The results were measured at both the 8- and 16-week marks, using expert-administered hair counts (including hair comb and hair pull tests), self-evaluation, and photographic analysis.

Expert assessments of the saw palmetto group showed promising results in both the hair-comb test (measuring loose hairs after combing) and the hair-pull test. (2)

The self-evaluation questionnaire gathered appearance-related scores, with 50% of the saw palmetto group reporting a visible improvement in hair thickness. 

Impact on DHT (dihydrotestosterone)

In the same 4-month study, researchers sought to measure saw palmetto’s effect on DHT. The outcome showed that the saw palmetto extract helped achieve DHT levels within the normal range compared with the placebo group, helping to minimize hair loss. (2)
