The search for a true hair vitamin has puzzled scientists for years. Now, doctors in California have identified a vitamin-like substance that looks like the natural solution to balding and unwanted hair loss…

Stunning Results in “Leftover” Mice

Doctors at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles had some mice left over from drug experiments. Some of the animals had excessive hair loss, but were otherwise healthy. They decided to see if they could regrow hair in the mice, by adding a natural extract- known as polyphenols- to their diet.

Hair Loss “Stopped Completely”

The doctors divided the mice into two groups. They gave the first group a polyphenol extract added to their drinking water. The other group received plain water only.

After six months, the mice receiving the polyphenols in their drinking water showed no progressive hair loss. This finding is remarkable and bears repeating. In every one of the mice fed the extract in their water, hair loss completely stopped.

Polyphenols Grow New Hair

The findings on hair loss cessation are exciting by themselves. But the real surprise is the report of “significant regrowth” of hair in animals receiving the polyphenol treatment.

The L.A. scientists found that 33% of the treated mice had significant hair regrowth. They actually referred to this as “spontaneous remission,” a medical term usually reserved for unexplainable or miraculous reversal of disease.

No hair regrowth was observed in the untreated (control) group. Other than the polyphenols, both groups were fed the same diet. Both were housed in the same conditions. Only the polyphenol group had zero further hair loss, and substantial hair regrowth.

Science Strongest for Apple Polyphenols and Hair Growth

Previous experiments have proven that polyphenols from apple skins, grape seeds and barley all exhibit the ability to regrow hair in animal and human trials. This is the first report in the literature showing that green tea polyphenols also have some hair growth effects. This study is also important because it’s the first time that polyphenols have produced new hair growth when taken internally.

Proof of “Significant Regrowth”

Human clinical trials on apple polyphenols, specifically procyanidins, have shown the best and fastest results in hair regrowth, but have only been tested topically. This latest study is proof that polyphenols, taken internally, have significant hair growth effects in mammals.

The human hair cycle is a complex process. Other vitamins, minerals and hormones are certainly involved in the general health of hair follicles, skin, and other organs. But now, for the first time, you can specifically target hair loss and regrowth with polyphenols- the new hair vitamin.

Update January 2006: I have changed my mind about what
you see below. I don’t think revivogen
helped me in treating hairloss. Of
course, it could work for someone else.

Well, I have been using
this for about 1.5 months and I
have to say I like the results so far.

I am seeing much less hair fall out. I
actually switched back to my old shampoo
and conditioner for a bit and I discovered
MORE hair fall out. So I returned to this.

The conditioner is wonderful too. I’m
about to order more of it. It makes the
scalp tingle and it conditioners better
than any salon bought conditioner I have
ever used.

I’ve been using Revivogen for about 2 weeks now and I have noticed that my hair is stronger.

This means that if I grab some hair and tug on it, it doesn’t come out as easily as before. I see this as a major improvement.

The next thing is that on the spots of my head, (frontal area) where there was no or little hairgrowth. – I can now rub my finger up there and feel some ‘peach fuzz’. This might be subjective or wishful thinking because I’m not quite sure what it felt like before using Revivogen

Overall, I like the results I’m getting so far.

Good news. On day five and six of using this product I noticed something noteworthy.

What I found out was that the shampoo and conditioner appear to be making my hair stronger.
For example as an experiment yesterday and today while applying the shampoo and conditioner
I got a little vigorous in its application. (this means I vigorously applied the shampoo and conditioner – harder than I normally do) And I found that I didn’t lose any hair from doing so on day 5 and only 1 on day 6.

Let me qualify this -in the past I wouldn’t do that because I would be too afraid of causing hair to fallout.

I mentioned in my previous posts that I like this product -

I don’t have enough time of use to tell you ifthe scalp therapy is working, but I can tell you that the shampoo and conditioner are something I plan to continue using, I’m getting good results as described above and it is only day 6.

It is too soon to tell if there will be any regrowth on previously barren spots. But I will try to keep you posted.

Everyone is different so you might not experience the same effects I do. I’m just using this blog to report my subjective results.

Revivogen Day 4

So far so good. I only saw two hairs fallout after washing this morning. This is pretty good. Not that I was seeing that many before. But this is even cooler.

I must clarify ( he he) that I used a capful of apple cider vinegar in two cups of water as a pre rinse. This is nothing unusual for me and I have done it when I was using other shampoos as well. I do this about once per week.

I believe it removes buildup from the scalp and hair. Some people say they need to change their shampoos frequently. I have heard someone say once a month and I have heard another person say she changes shampoo daily.

Anyway, I believe that by using the clarifying treatment of apple cider Vinegar and water, that I avoid having to switch up shampoos all the time.

I definitely like the Revivogen shampoo and condititoner as a combo. I’m pretty happy with it. They sent the conditioner as a sample with my order of shampoo and scalp therapy but I like it a lot and will most likely be ordering more of it.

My hair is definitely thicker and probably stronger as a result. I have used other thickening conditioners in the past and the truth is, they do thicken the hair but they also dry it out. With Revivogen conditioner, I’m not seeing the same degree of dry hair that I was before.

I’ll keep you posted.
