Vita Hair

FORM: 60 Tablets

Most people lose an average of 40 to 70 hairs per day. And for the most part, we are unaware that we are losing those hairs. If your hair is healthy and you come from good genetic (hair) stock, what was lost will eventually be replaced and the loss will be unnoticeable. Hair loss (and damage to what you have) has become a societal topic of discussion (mostly because of the media hype). But the obsession with hair loss and the damage there of, and the fact that it is occurring so much has become a prevalent problem none the less for both the male and female populations. Most of us know why the damage to hair occurs, for the most part it is abuse and the rest, well… is nutritional, or the lack of it.

But with regards to hair loss, there are many theories as to why this occurs. But in the heart of it all, most theories revolve around a lack of what makes hair stay where it is supposed to; and that is a shortage or over abundance of ‘something’ in the system. Hair loss is primarily thought to be caused by genetics and hormones, or hormone by products. What ever the cause for this loss is, or what ever is causing the damaged ‘dry look’, you need to do something to help the body deal with the situation.

For most men (and some women) who are losing their hair before they'd like to, the answer is genetic, right? Well, what most physicians do not bring to light as an additional factor when it comes to losing your hair, is the nutritional component. It can get complicated, because even if you are getting the right amount of any one nutrient you may still have the ‘genetic predisposition’ that does not allow you to utilize it in an efficient manner. And even nutrient deficiencies can cause the inability of the body to utilize other nutrients the way it is suppose to, one thing feeds off another. This is the reason why a product like VITA HAIR can make all the difference in the world!

During gestation in the womb in the genetic coding process, it is determined as to the stage of when you will begin to loose your hair. This also includes how your body will handle nutrition in general to help support those golden locks. In most men though, the main ‘known’ cause of hair loss is how the body handles testosterone. In men and women testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and if your follicles are genetically sensitive to this by product, the follicle will loose its ability to grow hair after it looses what it already has. Unfortunately consumers waste millions of dollars every year on shampoos and other phony non-FDA approved products to try and stop this process. Even though medical science is still searching for a complete understanding of the biochemical processes that occur within our hair follicles. It is a known fact that when you supply the proper nutrients to strengthen hair it slows hair loss, and strengthens what you currently have. These nutrients can also help the body to utilize and metabolize certain hormones more effectively.

The more testosterone your body produces and the more DHT that is derived from that production, the faster you will lose your hair (if you are genetically so inclined). Other factors that lead to early hair loss include:

Stress - Excessive anxiety, a sudden shock or physical stress from surgery or chemotherapy may also cause hair loss. You could include, in this category, a lengthy or severe illness. In the case of a lengthy illness, the general condition of the hair may indicate your overall poor state of health.

Nutritional Imbalances - A vitamin and protein deficient diet provides inadequate nutrients for the scalp, thus affecting hair growth. For example, crash diets often cause excessive hair loss. It is imperative that you have a well balanced diet, and take a supplement to assist your busy life style. Those of the science (and not so science) community who understand how important nutrition is in every aspect of our daily lives, and know that a supplement such as VITA HAIR can be very beneficial.

Birth Control Pills Causes Female Hair Loss - Women, at younger stages of their lives, can experience causes of female hair loss resulting from birth control pill usage. The effect of female hair loss seems to be greater if the women already have family history of baldness. The hormonal changes brought on by birth control pills can cause the onset of Androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). The pill can also cause nutritional imbalances and mood swings because of this deficit.

Pregnancy Causes Female Hair Loss - It is common for women just completing pregnancy to experience female baldness. Usually after two to three months after giving birth, a woman will notice a moderate to large amount of hair from their comb or brush. Causes of female hair loss like this can be attributed by further hormonal changes that happen to a woman as she recovers from the pregnancy.

Externally Caused Damage - Washing your hair with a shampoo that is too strong, or constantly dying the hair can gradually strip it of its natural oils and lead to hair loss. In some cases, hair preparations and shampoos can also cause allergic reactions.

Age Related Hair Loss - As we age imbalances in hormones become more prevalent, in women this is especially a factor because as menopause hits and the production of estrogen decreases, the normal balance of hormones becomes imbalanced. This affects some more than others, and again genetics and nutrition can be factors.†
