If your hair is falling out due to stress consider RhoVita

 Uncontrolled stress, in addition to a pandora's box of health problems, can also trigger an increased rate of hair loss. It is not uncommon for many to describe significantly pronounced shedding during major emotional/health/life events.

 A well documented approach to ameliorating the effects of stress on skin and hair, not to mention overall functioning, are the herbs Rhodiola and Ashwagandha.

In studies, Rhodiola rosea has been shown to reduce various stress-induced chemicals in the body to normal levels, and alleviate general and mental fatigue. In cases of stress-induced loss of libido and diminished sexual function, Rhodiola rosea can help to bring the near dead back to vibrant life.

 Although the exact mechanism of how Ashwaghanda works are not fully understood, an important action is its ability to lower blood levels of the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, studies have found taking the herbal extract produces a pronounced drop in the blood levels of C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation within the body. In sum the “daily use of Withania somnifera (ashwagandha) would benefit people who are shedding hair from the effects of stress and anxiety without any adverse effects.

 L-Lysine

Many people don't realize it but hair, skin and nails are made from a type of protein. This protein, like the protein in muscles, can become compromised and damaged without proper upkeep. Providing the body with the proper building blocks to produce this protein is tantamount to maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails. L-lysine is an essential amino acid that helps build healthy proteins, and thus, helps maintain healthy, youthful hair, skin and nails. Also, L-lysine plays an integral role in the formation of collagen, which makes it even more important for taut, smooth skin. Most importantly, L-lysine cannot be manufactured by the human body and therefore must be obtained from food or supplements. Any hair, skin and nail supplement should have an amino acid of some sort, if not L-lysine itself. RhoVita contains Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Acai, Pomegranate, Bilberry, Blueberry, and Lysine


 


 If your hair is falling out and you are fatigued consider Octovite

Octovite is a unique combination of several key vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, herbs, and other nutrients that will support and maintain the health of an individual's hair, skin, and nails. This formulation will provide the extra nourishment needed to keep hair, skin, and nails strong and beautiful. Optimal health of hair, skin and nails starts from the inside and requires the proper nutrients to insure beauty and nourishment. And because beauty on the outside starts with glowing skin,

Octovite is rich in Rutin and Vitamin C, too. Rutin helps the body better utilize Vitamin C for collagen production - the primary component essential to younger, softer, more luminous looking skin. And, Rutin too may also help strengthen blood vessels, enhancing your body’s ability to deliver key nutrients necessary to keep your skin looking radiant at all times.

Vitamin A (as natural beta carotene with mixed carotenoids) and Zinc are both effective in improving one's complexion by reducing oil production and acne lesions. 

Vitamins C and E are potent anti-oxidants that counter the effects of sun exposure by scavenging free radicals.

When Vitamins A and E are taken together, studies have shown a significant reduction in Basal Cell Carcinoma, a common skin cancer that is sun induced.

 Two particular studies suggest that the oral supplementation of lutein may protect the skin from the damage induced by UVB radiation by inhibiting DNA damage and diminishing its inflammatory effects. Furthermore, the data indicate that taking lutein may have the potential to prevent UVB-induced skin cancer, at least in the animal model evaluated. Lutein is often thought of primarily as a potent eye-supporting nutrient, but exciting new research has put it at the forefront of the cosmeceutical revolution. Lutein has been demonstrated in human studies to improve skin hydration and elasticity when ingested orally in supplement form. Lutein has been shown to filter out the sun’s high-energy, blue wavelength of light from the visible-light spectrum, thus giving our skin key antioxidant protection against photo-aging.

Alpha Lipoic Acid - is an antioxidant that helps promote production of energy and regeneration which is vital in the growth of hair, skin and nails. 

Hair is composed of 8 percent L-cysteine, an amino acid. Octovite contains N-acetyl cysteine

Fish oil provides essential nutrients to the scalp and hair folicles, which will result in stronger, more durable hair.
