What causes hair loss?

Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) is a genetic trait. It’s called Androgenetic Alopecia. It’s inherited from your family. If the men in your family are showing a bald spot on the crown, it’s likely you will too.

This is an issue men have been dealing with for centuries. According to legend, Julius Caesar invented the laurel leaf wreath to cover his receding hairline.

Too bad Julius didn’t have access to Provillus in the days of the Roman Empire.

MPB results from genetic traits, and hormonal causes. Provillus can’t change your genetic history, but it can help with the hormonal causes.

DHT is the hormone involved in hair loss

DHT (dihydrotestostrone) is derived from androgen, a male hormone. As the androgen circulates through the bloodstream, it is converted to DHT by the enzyme, 5-alpha reductase. DHT tends to bind to hair follicle receptors,
causing the follicles to sprout thinner and thinner hairs until nothing regrows, and the follicles eventually wither away.

The life cycle of normal hair growth

Normally, hair has three phases of growth:

  • Anagen – The growth phase, lasts for two to six years. Usually 90% of the hair is in growth phase.
  • Catagen -- A transient phase lasting a few weeks. The hair becomes thinner and the follicle starts shrinking.
  • Telogen – The thinned hairs fall off to make way for new hair. This lasts for two to four months.

When excess DHT is in the bloodstream, it shortens the Anagen, or growth phase, and causes premature shrinkage of the follicles. Because the DHT is bound to the follicle, often the hair will not re-grow normally.


Provillus helps block DHT from strangling your hair follicles.

Minoxidil, the ingredient clinically proven, and approved by the FDA for re-growing your hair, inhibits DHT. This powerful active ingredient works in your hair follicles.

Lowering Your Cholesterol

By Hugo E. Cercil


Here's something that you need to know: any sudden increase in your fibrous food intake might actually do you more harm than good. Even though you are in a hurry to lower your blood cholesterol, you do have to ease into the program, not force it upon yourself. Everything in life that is worth doing, is worth starting slowly. When you get started, it will obviously become easier.

Stomach distress is an unpleasant side effect of changing your diet too suddenly. I know that you really want to lose weight, and that you can no longer stand hearing the doctor warn you about your cholesterol levels. However you did not get to be that way in a day and it is certainly going to take more than a day to get you off. Take your time with the program.

When you do your groceries next time, try to look for higher fiber foods. The types with soluble fibers are especially good for maintaining lower cholesterol levels in your system. Now, you know that is totally worth your while, isn't it? It sure is.

You know you don't want to be a liability on anybody; but that's just what you are going to be the next time you let yourself get a stroke. It's the cholesterol; you've got to get rid of it. It's all that sweet junk that you've been eating - it's slowly killing you. You must lay them off and get to eating things more healthy. How's carrots for a try? Think you can hold it down?

The world could be a better place if there were more people willing to take charge of their lives. If there were more people willing to take decisive action to let go of junk food and eat more of roughages and fiber foods, there would be less high blood pressure cases, and deaths from stroke. The world would indeed be a better place if folks like you and I were more responsible.
