PROMOTE NEW HAIR GROWTH & INCREASED HAIR COUNT

A FRUIT EXTRACT FOR HAIR GROWTH?

Scientists in Kuala Lumpur have identified compounds in palm fruits, called tocotrienols, which in clinical studies, have shown to significantly promote new hair growth and increased hair count. These so-called “super antioxidants”, from the vitamin E family, can help reduce inflammation levels especially in the scalp, which is a condition associated with hair loss.

WHAT THE STUDIES ARE SHOWING

Clinical studies done at the University of Kuala Lumpur, are repeatedly confirming the effects of tocotrienols. In a study, done to obtain a patent, scientists showed that every person in the study group, taking the specific tocotrienol complex, had positive results in new hair count. The mean increase in number of hairs was 42%*. In a second, and larger study, done to confirm these results, the number of hairs in a pre-determined scalp area was observed at 0, 4 and 8 months. The results were significant. The number of hairs increased by 16% at 4 months on average, and by 34.5% at the end of the 8-months, compared to a 0.1% decrease in the control group.** Both studies in Malaysia used a tocotrienol complex, now patented. In Canada, this tocotrienol complex is available in the product Hair GROTM, available at pharmacies across the country.
