INCREASE HAIR COUNT & SUPPORT NEW HAIR GROWTH

Hair loss is common as we age, but few treatment options have been available or effective. Supplements have been able to nourish the hair, but few help promote new hair growth. However, newer studies are finding some hope.

THE FRUIT EXTRACT

Scientists at the University of Kuala Lumpur have identified compounds in palm fruits, called tocotrienols, which significantly help promote new hair growth. These “super antioxidants”, from the vitamin E family, are thought to reduce inflammation levels in the scalp, which is a condition commonly associated with alopecia.

THE STUDY RESULTS

Repeatedly, clinical studies are confirming the effect of tocotrienols in helping to increases hair count. In a clinical study done to obtain a patent, scientist could show that everyone in the study group taking 50 mg of a tocotrienol complex, had positive results after 5 months, and the mean increase in number of hairs was 42%*.

THE SECOND STUDY

A second, and larger study, was done to confirm these results. The study group was monitored for the number of hairs in a pre-determined scalp area at 0, 4 and 8 months. The results were impressive. The number of hairs increased significantly as compared to the placebo group, recording a 16% increase at 4 months and a 34.5% increase at the end of the 8-months, compared to a 0.1% decrease in the control group.**
