How does Provillus Work?

Provillus claims that the supplement creates the ideal environment for hair growth; "aggressively seeding the scalp" in the company's words. The company's website also says that Provillus works through supplying the hair follicles with the nutrients they need to revitalize them and stimulate further hair growth, strengthen the nails and support immune function.

Provillus is also designed to inhibit the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is naturally produced in the body as a byproduct of testosterone production and can slow hair growth. DHT can curtail the growth phase of hair follicles, leading to male pattern baldness.

What's the upside to Provillus?

Provillus hair loss treatment is one of the few that is FDA approved, also there are plenty of traditional, natural remedies which are known to work and some of the ingredients in Provillus are among them. Horsetail, for instance has long been used to treat hair loss, with evidence suggesting that the ancient Greeks and Romans used this herb as well as Asian and American Indian cultures, so many people may want to give this product a try.
