Decades of clinical research has led to the discovery of vitamins crucial to the health, growth and treatment of hair. Patented formulas and medications have also been developed to combat the hair loss problem. None of the hair loss treatments, however has proven as effective as a hair restoration transplant.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil which is a medication for hair loss has a direct effect on the cellular activity of scalp hair follicles and appears to boost blood flow throughout these structures.
Minioxidil is shown in some cases to slow or stop hair loss by stimulating the growth of normal, healthy hair in scalp follicles that have ceased normal functioning due to androgenetic alopecia.
In clinical use for some 15 years, Minoxidil hhas been shown to be effective in about 30% of people who apply it as a topical solution, with a higher response rate among women.
Finasteride
Finasteride (brand name Propecia®) is the only specific male pattern baldness treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, for prescription by doctors normally hair restoration experts.
More than 1 million men who have used the product, recommend Finasteride to be a safe, long-term treatment for slowing hair loss and stimulating new hair growth.
Used either on its own, or combined with Minoxidil to complement a hair restoration surgery, Finasteride is deemed the most effective medicinal way to combat hair loss problem. At the molecular level, Finasteride works to inhibit the activity of the hormone testosterone within hair follicles.
Please note: Finasteride is not suitable for use by women.

B-vitamin complex is essential to the health and growth of rapidly dividing cells, such as those present in hair follicles.

Para-amino benzoic acid (PABA) is important for hair pigmentation.

Iodine is a crucial factor in metabolism and is essential for normal hair growth.
