			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Profollica is an increasingly popular natural solution for treating baldness.  It works on several levels to help</p>
<ul>
<li>Slow hair loss</li>
<li>Stimulate lost hair to regrow</li>
<li>Improve hair strength and thickness</li>
<li>Return hair color</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/6-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-26" title="profollica " src="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/6-1-300x273.jpg" alt="Take Profollica for Your Hair, Get Benefits for Your Prostate!" width="300" height="273" /></a></p>
<p>The main way that Profollica treats male pattern baldness is by blocking the formation of a natural chemical called Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT for short.  DHT is also responsible for enlarged prostate and linked to prostate cancer.  So, while you may be taking Profollica to treat baldness naturally, you are also helping your prostate!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>What is DHT?</em></strong></p>
<p>The human body is made up of thousands of natural chemicals, each with its own specific functions.  Not all of these chemicals are stable; they can get turned into other chemicals.  When a specific enzyme interacts with testosterone, it changes testosterone into a new chemical called Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT.  Even though DHT is made from testosterone and shares some characteristics, it has a very different effect than the male hormone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>DHT mostly is stored in the hair follicles, prostate, testes, and adrenal glands.  Over time, DHT builds up and starts to change these areas of the body.  As far as hair follicles are concerned, DHT makes them get smaller until they detach from the blood vessel which supplies them, thus causing the hair follicle to die.  This is how DHT causes male pattern baldness.  Note that DHT is only stored in the crown of the scalp which is why baldness does not occur on the sides of the head or other parts of the body.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the prostate, DHT can cause cells to start replicating rapidly.  Testosterone also has this affect but DHT is 10x stronger.  Over time, high levels of DHT can lead to enlarged prostate – referred to as <em>benign prostatic hyperplasia</em> in the medical community.  DHT is also linked to prostate cancer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>How Profollica Helps Prostate Health</em></strong></p>
<p>Profollica helps treat baldness naturally in several ways, but the main mechanism of action is reducing DHT levels.  It does this in a few ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Blocking the enzyme which turns testosterone into DHT</li>
<li>Breaking down DHT</li>
<li>Blocking the effects of DHT on tissues</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/6-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-27" title="profollica " src="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/6-2.jpg" alt="Take Profollica for Your Hair, Get Benefits for Your Prostate!" width="250" height="222" /></a></p>
<p>The ingredients which are responsible for these anti-DHT effects include <em>kigelia African fruit extract, cinanmonum, salvia sclarea, L-lysine, biotin, zinc, </em>and<em> niacinamide. </em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Without DHT to cause prostate cells to replicate, you are at a reduced risk of enlarged prostate and prostate cancer.  Do note, however, that Profollica is designed to fight hair loss, NOT these prostate conditions!  If you already have enlarged prostate or prostate cancer, you should talk to your doctor about which treatment choice is best for you.  Your doctor may recommend a natural solution or a drug, such as Finasteride.  You can also talk to your doctor about combining Profollica with your medicine.  Since Profollica is all natural and works with your body, it is generally safe to take with medicines so you get optimal results.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>Profollica Supplement Ingredients</em></strong></p>
<p>If you read the Profollica supplement ingredients as the website, you will notice that about half of them have names beginning with “L-…”.  These are all amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins and many other bodily structures. Without enough amino acids, your body will not be able to produce hair cells.  This can speed up the balding process: due to the deficiency, your hair follicles go into their dormant stage of growth and may not grow back for months.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are also several different B vitamins in the Profollica supplement, including B-12, biotin, Niacin, and Para-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA).  B Vitamins are crucial for nervous system function and turning food into energy.  But studies show that B vitamins are also crucial for hair growth.  In one study, subjects lost hair when deficient in B vitamins and regrew that hair after receiving a B supplement.  PABA is a particularly interesting part of Profollica.  It is important for maintaining hair color.  By supplementing with PABA, gray hair can regain its original color.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>Profollica Activator Gel</em></strong></p>
<p>The main goal of the Profollica activator gel is to block the effects of DHT – the natural chemical which causes hair follicles to shrink and is considered the main cause of male pattern baldness.  DHT is actually made from testosterone by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase.   Because the anti-DHT ingredients of Profollica gel get applied directly to the source of the problem, it is very potent and gets better results than pills which block DHT.</p>
<p><a href="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/5-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-23" title="profollica " src="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/5-2.jpg" alt="An Overview of Profollica Ingredients" width="227" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>There are several different ingredients in the Profollica gel which fight DHT.  When biotin gets combined with zinc and niacinamide, it has a repellent action on DHT.  The herbs salvia sclarea and cinnamonum both block some of the effects of DHT so it is not as strong. The African fruit Kigelia helps fight DHT before it even becomes a problem.  It blocks the 5-alpha reductase enzyme so less testosterone gets converted into DHT.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The remaining ingredients in the Profollica gel are antioxidants, circulation boosters, and moisturizing nutrients for your hair and scalp.  These help ensure that your existing hairs = and newly regrown hairs are strong and healthy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each of the ingredients in the Profollica gel and supplement are beneficial to your hair health.  You can easily find these ingredients in other anti-baldness solutions.  However, only Profollica combines all these ingredients together into a two-step solution which is proven to get results.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>Two Step Solution</em></strong></p>
<p>What makes Profollica stand out above other natural baldness treatments is that it uses a two-step approach.  The first part of the treatment is a daily supplement which aims to help fight baldness from within.  This supplement contains all natural, safe ingredients like:</p>
<ul>
<li>B Vitamins</li>
<li>Amino acids</li>
<li>Biotin</li>
<li>Zinc oxide and manganese</li>
<li>Para-aminobenzoic acid (a vitamin)</li>
<li>Chlorophyll</li>
</ul>
<p>The Profollica supplement contains a massive dosage of nearly 1000mg.  These ingredients, especially in this high of a dosage, are very powerful for fighting DHT (the chemical which causes baldness by making follicles shrink) and also encouraging new hair cell formation.  Aside from the benefits to your hair, the Profollica supplement will also give benefits like more youthful looking skin, improved memory, better muscle tone, and more energy – to name just a few.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The next step of the Profollica natural baldness treatment is a topical gel for your scalp, or “activator gel.”  It contains numerous natural ingredients including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Arginine and other amino acids</li>
<li>Herbs like Arctium majus root, gingko, and Kigelia</li>
<li>Calcium and zinc</li>
<li>Natural proteins like citrulline and glucosamine HCI</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In total, you are getting 20 active ingredients in the Profollica activator gel.  Each of these ingredients has a very specific role, but we will look at just a few of them now.  One of the most intriguing parts of the formula is the combination of biotin, niacinamide, and zinc.  When these ingredients are combined, they block DHT, so no further hair is lost.  Many men also experience complete regrowth of lost hair.  The anti-DHT effect is enhanced by several herbs, like Kigelia Africana extract, which blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT.</p>
<p><a href="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/4-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-19" title="profollica " src="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/4-2-285x300.jpg" alt="How Does Profollica Work?" width="285" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Aside from the DHT-blocking effects of the Profollica activator gel, it also helps simulate hair growth.  The amino acids and nutrients directly support hair follicle health so your follicles remain active longer and produce thicker, stronger hairs.  Thanks to the blood circulation stimulators like arctum majus, arginine, and cinnamon, your hair follicles get more nutrients and will produce even healthier hairs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>Clinically Proven, Backed with a Guarantee</em></strong></p>
<p>Profollica has been tested in a clinical study against a placebo: nearly 90% of men experienced significant hair regrowth.  For medical experts, these results are not surprising.  After all, the Profollica formula is based on research and ingredients which are proven to combat baldness or improve hair health.  By combining these ingredients together, the makers of Profollica created a potent natural solution for baldness.  That is why they can back it with a solid 60 day money-back guarantee!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/3-1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14" title="profollica " src="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/3-1-300x240.jpg" alt="What Natural Alternatives to Propecia are There?" width="300" height="240" /></a>Since 1997, the drug Finasteride (brand name Propecia) has been FDA approved for treating baldness.  You would think that millions of men would be lining up to get their hands on this clinically proven, approved hair loss treatment.  But most men get stopped dead in their tracks once they find out a bit more about Propecia.  The drug is known to cause side effects like <em>impotence, low libido, and ejaculation problems</em>.  Not surprisingly, men tend to choose baldness over impotence!  But you don’t necessarily have to choose: there are natural Propecia alternatives which do not cause these side effects.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our top pick for a Propecia alternative is Profollica.  It is also clinically tested and proven to work, but does not contain any unnatural ingredients or cause any adverse side effects.  Here is how we sorted through all of the other natural Propecia alternatives to determine Profollica is the best choice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>How it Gets Results</em></strong></p>
<p>Profollica helps you fight and treat baldness in the same way that Propecia does: it reduces levels of DHT – the natural chemical which gets stored in the scalp and causes hair follicles to gradually shrink.  Propecia reduces DHT by blocking the enzyme which is used to make it.  Since Profollica is a natural baldness treatment, it can’t be targeted specifically at the guilty enzyme. However, the solution uses various ingredients which are shown to have an inhibitory effect on both the enzyme which makes DHT and DHT itself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In terms of blocking DHT, the drug Propecia gets results a bit faster than the natural alternative Profollica.  However, you won’t notice the difference in time because Profollica also treats baldness in several other ways.  The ingredients in the oral supplement as well as the topical gel help to increase circulation to the scalp and also boost hair cell production.  Your hair will grow faster and thicker than before.  When you combine this with the DHT-reducing effects, you will see a fuller head of hair.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>Not Just a Conditioner</em></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/3-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-15" title="profollica " src="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/3-2-300x210.jpg" alt="What Natural Alternatives to Propecia are There?" width="300" height="210" /></a>We looked at a lot of different products which advertise themselves as Propecia alternatives or natural baldness treatments.  Few of these openly advertised their ingredients.  After some digging, we found out why: nearly all the products were just expensive leave-in conditioners.  Basically, you are rubbing some cream into your hair.  It moisturizes the existing hairs so they seem thicker.  But, if you thoroughly wash your hair, you’ll notice that no change has occurred.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Profollica is the only natural baldness solution we found which utilizes a two-step approach of a daily supplement and a topical gel.  And both of these approaches use ingredients which are clinically proven to get results.  By attacking baldness from within and without, Profollica is an incredibly potent solution.  It takes about 3-4 months to get optimal results.  The longer you use Profollica, the better these results will become.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>No Risks or Side Effects</em></strong></p>
<p>With Profollica, you don’t have to worry about any risks or side effects (obviously, don’t use it if you are allergic to one of the ingredients!).  We can’t say this of many of the other “natural” baldness treatments we reviewed.  If you are looking for a natural alternative to Propecia, then Profollica is likely your best bet.  It is clinically tested, safe, and proven to get results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10" title="profollica " src="http://profollicainfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2-1-300x225.jpg" alt="Does Testosterone Really Cause Hair Loss?" width="300" height="225" /></a>Men spend a lot of time focusing on the benefits of testosterone – like a strong libido, muscle development, sexual potency, and maintaining strength.  But testosterone is not all good when it comes to the male image.  Indirectly, this hormone is responsible for causing male pattern baldness.  Hair loss treatments like Profollica are designed to block the harmful effects of testosterone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>How Testosterone Causes Baldness</em></strong></p>
<p>Testosterone isn’t really the guilty party when it comes to hair loss.  Rather, hair loss occurs when an enzyme (5-alpha reductase) turns testosterone into a different chemical called dihydrotestosterone (DHT for short).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>DHT is mostly found in the scalp and the prostate.  In both of these areas, it has a detrimental effect.  The DHT will make hair follicles weaken and eventually die.  DHT is only found in certain areas of the scalp which is why male pattern baldness occurs just on the crown of the head – not the sides. DHT is also very dangerous because it makes enlarges the prostate.  Enlarged prostate (also called benign prostatic hyperplasia) has annoying symptoms like urinary urgency.  Even though Profollica baldness treatment is designed to stop hair loss, it can also help prevent enlarged prostate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>About 5% of testosterone gets converted into DHT.  While testosterone isn’t the cause of baldness, men with high testosterone levels are likely to have much more DHT and experience baldness earlier.  Note that not all men inherit the “baldness gene”, meaning that their scalps are not so sensitive to the effects of DHT.  But nearly all men can expect hair thinning from DHT as they age.</p>

<p><strong><em>Fighting DHT</em></strong></p>
<p>If you want to prevent or treat male pattern baldness, then you need to battle DHT.  Since testosterone is such an important hormone, blocking testosterone is not a feasible option.  However, it is safe and relatively easy to block 5-alpa reductase, the enzyme which turns testosterone into DHT.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is an FDA approved drug available for treating baldness called <em>Propecia (finasteride).  </em>The problem with this drug is that it works against the body’s natural mechanisms and can cause some unwanted side effects.  While serious side effects are rare, “unserious” side effects like impotence, low libido and ejaculation disorders are very common.  Upwards of 20% of Propecia users will experience these side effects!</p>

<p>Instead of risking a chemical approach, you can battle DHT naturally with Profollica.  It is one of the few natural baldness treatments which really works.  Profollica consists of a daily supplement which helps increase hair production while blocking DHT. It also has a gel which gets applied to the scalp to directly fight DHT and boost your hair quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both the natural treatment Profollica and the drug Propecia can get great results in about 3 months.  Since the results are so similar but Profollica doesn’t cause side effects, we strongly recommend that you go the natural route before trying Propecia.  Like its drug counterpart, Profollica will give best results if used right when baldness begins.  But even men with advanced balding can benefit with regrown, thicker hair.</p>
