Provillus for Men

Provillus for Men: Clinical Hair Regrowth System

Male pattern baldness affects approximately 50% of men by age 50. Provillus is a comprehensive two-part system that attacks hair loss from both angles—topical regrowth stimulation with FDA-approved Minoxidil AND internal DHT blocking with scientifically-backed nutrients.

Understanding Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)

Despite common myths, hair loss isn't caused by wearing hats, poor circulation, or clogged follicles. The real culprit is Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—a hormone derived from testosterone. In men with genetic sensitivity, DHT binds to receptors in hair follicles, causing them to shrink over time. This process, called miniaturization, progressively produces thinner, shorter hairs until the follicle stops producing visible hair altogether.

The good news: follicles affected by DHT are usually not dead—they're dormant. With proper intervention, many can be reactivated.

Part 1: Topical Minoxidil 5% Solution

Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved topical ingredient clinically proven to regrow hair in men. Originally developed as a blood pressure medication, researchers discovered its remarkable side effect: hair growth.

How Minoxidil Works:

• Vasodilation: Widens blood vessels around follicles, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery
• Prolonged Anagen Phase: Extends the active growth phase of the hair cycle
• Follicle Stimulation: Increases follicle size, producing thicker, more visible hairs
• Potassium Channel Opening: Stimulates cellular activity in hair follicles

Clinical studies show 5% Minoxidil produces significantly better results than 2% formulas, making it the preferred strength for men.

Part 2: DHT-Blocking Oral Supplement

While Minoxidil stimulates growth, it doesn't address the root cause: DHT. Our oral supplement contains a synergistic blend of nutrients clinically shown to support healthy DHT levels:

• Saw Palmetto Extract: Natural 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces conversion of testosterone to DHT
• Biotin (5000mcg): Essential B-vitamin for keratin production—the protein that makes up hair
• Zinc: Supports hair tissue growth and repair; deficiency linked to hair loss
• Vitamin B6: Supports amino acid metabolism necessary for hair protein synthesis
• Magnesium: Prevents calcium buildup on scalp that can restrict follicles
• Nettle Root Extract: May bind to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), reducing free DHT

The Shedding Phase: What to Expect

In the first 2-4 weeks of treatment, you may notice increased hair shedding. This is actually a positive sign called the "shedding phase" or "dread shed." It indicates that dormant follicles are being stimulated to push out old, weak hairs to make room for new, healthier growth. This phase is temporary and usually resolves within 4-6 weeks.

Realistic Timeline for Results

• Weeks 1-4: Possible initial shedding (this is normal)
• Weeks 4-12: Shedding stops; new vellus (fine) hairs begin appearing
• Months 3-6: Visible thickening; vellus hairs become terminal (thick) hairs
• Months 6-12: Continued improvement; full results visible
