The Science
AnagenFX
Healthy scalp skin with normal scalp pH, normal thickness of the epidermis, dermis, and adjacent subcutaneous tissue will improve hair growth and/or decrease hair shedding17
Building blocks of the hair fiber are amino acids. Many of the amino acids are essential amino acids meaning they must be ingested as the body cannot synthesize them. A constant supply of protein especially rich in nitrogen and sulfur containing amino acids is essential for normal hair growth, fortifying and strengthening the hair.
Supplements containing biotin (vitamin B7), Vitamin D, Vitamin A and other trace minerals without the 20 amino acids for hair growth have minimal scientific evidence supporting new hair growth.”
Rx Ingredients
Tretinoin
- Promotes the anagen[growing]phase of the growth cycle
- Provides synergistic effects when combined with other prescription hair growth ingredients32
Minoxidil
- Stimulates, as a vasodilator, the anagen [growing] effects on both hair growth and diameter. Minoxidil is FDA approved for alopecia in both males and females19
- Shows a remarkably rapid increase in hair growth of men and women, measured by hair counts or hair weight. The increase is evident within 6-8 weeks of starting treatment and generally peaks at 12-16 weeks21
Finasteride
- Decreases DHT thereby slowing future hair loss and stimulating hair growth18
- Blocks this DHT causing follicle “shrinking”conversion, reducing the ability of DHT to affect the follicle18
Latanoprost
- Helps convert telogen hairs (resting phase) to anagen hairs (growth phase)
- Showed proportion of hairs in the anagen phase versus the telogen phase remained stable in study.5
