How does Hairtilizer work?

Hairtilizer works by taking two easy to digest capsules. The capsules are dissolved and digested by your body. All the ingredients are then carried through your bloodstream to the surface of your skin. Giving each hair follice nutrients to grow your hair faster. Hairtilizer takes care of your hair from the inside out. Each vitamin in Hairtilizer will help to grow your hair faster. Check out our Ingredients here. Here is a break down of the powerful formula. Note that an essential nutrient is a nutrient required for normal body functioning that either cannot be synthesized by the body at all, or cannot be synthesized in amounts adequate for good health (e.g. niacin, choline), and thus must be obtained from a dietary source.

Folic Acid (B9)
Folic acids or folate is important in production of new cells and DNA synthesis. An adequate supply of nucleic acids for formation of nucleo-proteins must be present at the hair follicle site for adequate and healthy hair growth to occur. both folic acid and vitamin B12 appear to be separately concerned with production of nucleic acids.

B12
B-12 is very important in the function of the brain and nervous system. B-12 is also important in the formation of blood and DNA synthesis. B-12 can not be made by plants or animals but can be found in animals who obtained B-12 through a bacteria that is able to synthetically make the vitamin.

Biotin(B7)
Biotin is involved in the metabolism of fatty acids as well as converting Glucose to Glycogen (gluconeogenesis) and Leucine, an essential amino acid. Biotin is found in many foods, though in low concentration. One food with a high concentration of Biotin is Royal Jelly, a secretion from honey bees used in their larva’s nutrition. All be larva are feed royal jelly and larva’s destined to become queens are feed higher quantities. Deficiency of Biotin has been known to cause hair loss.

Iron (Ferrous Fumerate)
Iron deficiency can cause hair loss and hair growth rates to slow.

Iodine (Potassium Iodine)
Iodine can affect hair loss because it directly affects your thyroid gland which, in turn, directly affects the health of your hair follicles.

Zinc (Oxide)
Zinc plays many roles in the body: helping build cells, keeping hormones in check, assisting with the absorption of various other vitamins and giving the body a helping hand with protein use. All of these actions are essential for hair growth and maintenance.

Manganese (Citrate)
Magnesium deficiency has been shown to be linked with both the male hair growth and the female hair growth. Manganese deficiency always results in slow growth rates and taking manganese supplements restore normal hair growth rates.

Choline/Inositol
Choline is an organic compound, classified as a water-soluble essential nutrient. Works best with Inositol. Very important for the metabolism of hair in both a direct and indirect manner.
Inositol was mentioned in the a Science Newsletters and said to be needed for growth and survival of cells and bone marrow, eye membranes, embryos, gut and other rapidly growing tissues like hair follicles. Inositol has been known to appear in human hair with speculation as to its value in restoring color to gray hair.
In light of the apparently essential role that choline and inositol play in the growth and proper nutrition of hair cells, it would be certainly logical to include both of these important compounds in any formula supplying the needs of the hair.

PABA
Paba is one of the lesser known members of the B complex family and has been shown to be an anti-grey hair vitamin. Research on humans with grey hair being given 200mg of PABA after each meal produced results that showed that a study of the hair afterwards resulted in a seventy per cent result of the hair returning to its original colour.

l-Leucine
Leucine is an essential amino acid needed for growth and to help maintain nitrogen balance in the body. Essential amino acids cannot be made in the body and must be supplied by the diet or supplements. Studies regarding L-Lysine have reported remarkable scalp hair growth in those sufffering hair loss.

l-Lysine
The role of the essential amino acid, l-lysine in hair loss also appears to be important. Double-blind data confirmed the findings of an open study in women with increased hair shedding, where a significant proportion responded to l-lysine and iron therapy.

l-Methionine

L-Methionine is an essential sulfur amino acid. The body cannot produce L-Methionine, which must be obtained from food or supplement sources. It is the principle supplier of sulfur which:

* prevents disorders of the hair, skin and nails.
* Helps lower cholesterol levels by increasing the liver's production of lecithin.
* Reduces liver fat and protects the kidneys.
* A natural chelating / chelation agent for heavy metals.
* Regulates the formation of ammonia and creates ammonia-free urine which reduces bladder irritation.
* Influences hair follicles and promotes hair growth.

l-Glutamic Acid
Glutamic acid (glutamate) is an amino acid used by the body to build proteins. Glutamate is the most common excitatory (stimulating) neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

Glycine
Glycine directly stimulates hair follicles and has been determined to be useful as a stimulant of hair growth.

Arginine
Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid because even though the body normally makes enough of it, supplementation is sometimes needed. Symptoms of arginine deficiency include poor wound healing, hair loss, skin rash, constipation, and fatty liver.

Foti
Fo Ti is famous for the following:

* Enhances head hair growth and helps to maintain natural color
* Adds radiance to the skin
* Helps reduce high cholesterol and prevent against platelet aggregation
* Helps to relieve constipation
* Powerful anti-aging effects that support longevity and increases energy
* Prevention for atherosclerosis
* Maintains a healthy cardiovascular system
* Builds stamina and resistance to disease
* Helps strengthens the kidneys, liver and nervous system

Horsetail Extract (2% Silica)
Silica is a naturally occuring non-metallic element, also known as silicon. It is a component of certain bodily polysaccharide structures such as hair, skin, and nails. Horsetail has been proven to increase hair growth in numerous double-blind studies.

In summary, certain vitamins, minerals and amino-acids are crucial to the metabolic pathways involved in keratin protein metabolism.
