How Does it work?
How Pumpkin Seed Oil & Saw Palmetto Reduce Hair Loss and Promote Hair Growth
Hair thinning and loss are often linked to hormonal imbalances, specifically dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a byproduct of testosterone. DHT binds to hair follicles, causing them to shrink, weaken, and eventually stop producing hair. Over time, this leads to thinning, excessive shedding, and slower regrowth.
How Pumpkin Seed Oil Fights Hair Loss
Pumpkin Seed Oil (PSO) is a natural DHT blocker that works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. By reducing DHT levels, hair follicles remain open, healthy, and active, allowing for continued growth.
Beyond blocking DHT, Pumpkin Seed Oil is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and nutrients like zinc and vitamin E, which:
✔ Strengthen hair follicles to reduce breakage
✔ Nourish the scalp to create an optimal environment for growth
✔ Boost circulation to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the hair roots
A clinical study found that men who took pumpkin seed oil supplements experienced a 40% increase in hair count after 24 weeks, proving its effectiveness in combating hair thinning.
How Saw Palmetto Supports Thicker, Stronger Hair
Saw Palmetto is another powerful, natural DHT inhibitor that prevents the miniaturization of hair follicles, keeping them in their growth phase longer. It works similarly to prescription DHT-blocking medications, but without the harsh side effects.
Saw Palmetto also helps:
✔ Extend the hair growth cycle, meaning hair stays thicker for longer
✔ Reduce scalp inflammation, which can contribute to hair loss
✔ Improve hair density and strength by protecting follicles from hormonal damage
