Health hair starts at the root. Our system supports root strength and improves the ratio of anogen (growth phase) to telogen (resting phase) of the hair cycle for denser, fuller-looking hair. Normal hair follicles are surrounded by healthy connective tissue and dermal papilla, and have minimal oxidative stress. Hair loss occurs most often when the hair growth cycle is disrupted by an increase of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone, loss of connective tissue integrity surrounding the hair follicle, and/or an increase of the inflammatory process and oxidative stress in the scalp. With age, the decreased number and size of hair follicles in the scalp will also lead to thinner hair and an increase in hair loss.
