Hair loss problem solution for men and women. Easy ways to fight hair loss naturally.

Did you know there is a natural alternative to the commercial hair gel you use daily?

2011-12-15T15:27:00.000-08:00

I used to wonder how some people's hair have the strength to stand up in a nice beautiful thick manner while other people are struggling to keep the last of their hairs from falling off their head. I watched newborn babies without any hair when they were born and as they grew older, they began to have hairs growing on their head slowly. The babies only drank milk from their mother and the milk they drank, gave them the required protein to grow plenty of hair. This shows that milk has the potential to allow a person's hair to grow.

Whereas for babies, they drink their mother's milk, an adult can drink cow's milk and also apply some milk on their hair to give it the strength to be strong. Once you apply milk on your hair, using any method you feel comfortable, such as using an applicator squeeze tube or simply pouring it onto your hair, you will feel in a short time that your hair becomes hard, as if you have just applied some commercial hair gel. You can either leave it that way throughout the night or simply wash it away after a couple of hours, whatever suits you. The idea is to apply the milk you get from the supermarket on your hair. Buy the smallest pack of milk you can find in the supermarket because you won't need too much for your hair. I have found that 2% milk does the job well. If you happen to be intolerant to lactose, then you shouldn't drink the milk. Simply apply it onto your hair, you would find that this way your stomach does not becomes upset as when you drank the milk.

It was once known that a beautiful Egyptian princess in the ancient times had the best skin and hair in the world. And guess what her secret was? She used to drink milk and bathe in milk for her shower daily. This way her skin and hair were constantly supplied with the required milk protein daily. Not to say that you should bathe or shower in milk but you could at least apply some milk on your hair and leave it like that for the night or for a couple of hours. The milk does not smell after been applied and easily washes off with water. The dried milk does not stick to your pillow or bed because it has dried completely and sticks nice and hard to your hair and scalp. Use only fresh milk, and always refrigerate it after each use. Do not use the same small pack of milk for more than 10 days, the milk starts to become bad after 10 days. Milk does not cost much and is quite cheap considering the fact that you are buying one small pack only, in 10 days time.

What connection is there between your liver and your hair loss?

2011-10-05T19:03:00.000-07:00

This might sound strange and not relevant to hair loss but there is some relation between liver function and hair loss. Recently i came upon this idea through accidental experiment. Not long ago, i started drinking tea for the cleansing effect it has on my body but what surprised me the most was when i tried "Detox" tea. This "Detox" tea was supposed to purify my blood and promote good liver functions. My intention was only to cleanse my body organs such as liver, kidneys and intestine but to my surprise, i suddenly felt my hair become stronger after consuming the "Detox" tea.

It made me ponder to think that if a person's liver is healthy and strong, it results in stronger hair. Liver purifies blood in human body and our hair follicles is very choosy in selecting the right type of nutrients for growing hair. So, if your liver supplies the proper nutrients in the blood after purification, this nutrients will be absorbed by your hair follicles very easily and thus results in stronger healthier hair.

You can try drinking tea instead of coffee to promote hair growth, but the tea should be caffeine free. Is it ever a wonder why some products available in the market uses "Green Tea Extract" to promote stronger hair growth? If you can drink tea and get the same benefits for cheaper source, why buy those expensive hair promoting pills that has the same ingredients?

Does Masturbation has anything to do with your hair loss? Find out the truth.

2011-03-08T20:36:00.000-08:00

As many of you know, that hair loss in males are directly related to the amount of DHT present in your body, which means that higher the level of DHT in your body, the greater chance of you getting bald. The explanation can be made to say that testosterone (Hormones) are converted into DHT and this DHT causes you to lose hair. When a person masturbates, the level of Testosterone increases in the body, and the rate of conversion into DHT increases too. This causes you to lose hair faster than before. By minimizing the self masturbating activity, one can reduce the level of testosterone and DHT level in your body. Thus, the rate of hair loss depends greatly on the level of DHT in the body at any given time.

Now, what is DHT again?

DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is produced from the male hormone testosterone, by the action of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase.

DHT is manufactured at a number of sites, but primarily in the liver and the skin (including the hair follicle). Many factors increase the production of DHT in the body, such as stress, genetics, hormones, and certain stimulants. The exact mechanism is unclear, but current medical opinion believes that the follicles may be genetically programmed to progressively grow smaller when DHT is bound to it.

There are various ways and methods you can take to minimize the impact of your hair loss:
* Reduce the intake of Hormone-polluted beef and dairy products. Red meat traps too much hormone-polluted blood. Instead bring more seafood and poultry into your diet. A vegetarian lifestyle has been adopted by many because of this fact.
* Eat more seeds, nuts, and soybeans, which contain L-arginine (the natural growth-hormone agents) and Isoflavones (anti-cancer and liver function enhancement), to help prostate swelling.
* Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits for more anti-cancerous hormones and anti-oxidants/vitamins/minerals. You can even try taking a multi-vitamin/mineral to get the antioxidant group into your dietary habits. Notable vitamins are C, E, A, and notable herbs that promote blood circulation are ginseng, ginko biloba and yohimbe.
* Participate in more outdoor activities to exercise more, improve your heart function, blood-flow and to regulate testosterone levels of the body, rather than burn it into DHT. Try jogging or even taking a brisk walk. Any kind of physical activity is much better for your body than sitting around in front of a TV, especially if you don’t normally move around much.

Stress is also another factor of your hair loss problem and the more you stress about losing your hair, the more you will lose your hair. Try to eliminate the sources of stress in your life. Cut back on your bedroom activity or at least make sure to reduce your frequency so your body will be able to replenish itself of the lost nutrients and hormones.

Do you love braiding your hair and think it's cool? Well, you might end up with a bald head and no more hair to braid one day.

2011-03-05T23:05:00.000-08:00

Braiding one's own hair seems like a cool fashion and style for people who wanted a unique look on them, but little do people realize that there are some side effects to it. Some celebrities have the braided hair style, your friend has their hair braided, and you want to braid your hair too? Think again. The reason why some people really needed braiding as opposed to those who don't need them, are they usually have thick curly hair which are difficult to comb through. After having gone through many other options, those people with thick curly hair came up with the idea to braid their hair, so they can manage their hair better. Well, that solves the problem of having to comb their hair all the time and getting their comb stuck into their hair. But, have you ever considered what are the side effects of braiding your hair in long-term?

First, when you braid your hair, you are actually fast forwarding your hair loss problem, if you are suffering from hair loss. Braiding pulls in your hair tight enough to create that look and bunch them together in tightly. This way, your hair would have every chance of being pulled out of its roots. Just like what happens when you pull a young plant from the soil hard enough, the roots and the stem of the plant comes out of the soil completely, and the plant dies later. It would take another weeks or months to regrow that strands of your hair, pulled out by your braiding, and you know how precious it is, even if you are talking about some strands of hair, for people with hair loss problem.

Besides, when you braid your hair, and don't remove the braids for long time, there are dirt and germs caught in between the inside of your braided hair, which could have thrived and multiplied in large numbers. Simply washing your braided hair does not washes the germs and the dirt away because they are stuck into your braids. For health reason, even if you need to braid your hair, do so but remove your braiding in a couple of days at the most.

I recall an incident of what happened to one of my friend who loved braiding his hair. Before he started braiding his hair, he had very thick and strong hair but they were a little curly and hard to manage at times. So, he decided to start braiding his hair because he was fed up of having to combing his hair every morning, and struggling to pull out the comb stuck into his hair. He looked fine indeed after braiding and proudly showed off his new look to everyone. He would not take off his braid for a period of one week or two and sometimes he even had it on for like months time. Time past away and two years gone by, then one day he came to me and showed me some of his bald spots, in various patches on his head. I was initially surprised to see the bald spot on his head. I asked him what happened to him, to cause the bald spot on his head. "Braiding my own hair" was his replied. Then i began to understand that braiding does really cause serious side effects such as hair loss, headache, loss of blood circulation on the head. For that reason, you would notice that those people who used to braid a lot, will develop hair loss problem earlier than people who don't braid their hair.

Why you should or should not wear cap when you are experiencing hair loss?

2011-02-07T23:03:00.000-08:00

Many of you have seen people, who wear baseball cap to hide their receding hairline or you might be one of them who does that. It is true that hair loss can be very damaging to one's self image pride and it can affect people in their social life situation. There have been incidents where young teenagers with extreme hair loss had committed suicide. Other people do resort to wearing wig which is uncomfortable and have the same affect as wearing a cap, and i would point out the benefits and disadvantages of wearing a cap or a wig. So, people decided that they feel better wearing a cool looking hat or cap, in order to hide their hair loss and baldness. But is it a good thing to wear a cap most of the time? What does it do to your hair? Will it help grow back your natural hair at all?

Wearing caps explained in detail :

(1) It is alright to wear a cap during the cold winter season and when you are outside in the extreme hot weather, under the sun. During the winter, the cold weather dries your hair and leaves your hair with no moisture at all. The loss of moisture makes your hair weak and they fall off from your hair scalp easily, as i mentioned before in my other posts. Wearing a winter cap while outdoors helps to protect your hair from the dry cold weather and helps preserve the moisture in your hair. With the moisture still withheld inside your hair scalp, your hair continues to grow and remain strong. During summer standing out in the sun for too long, with your hair exposed to the harmful sun rays is bad for your hair. The sun dries your hair very fast and have the same moisture robbing effect as during the cold winter months. Wearing a cap under the sun is a good thing to do, if you want to protect your hair and let it stay on your head scalp, else your hair falls off easily.

(2) Wearing a cap prevents dirty particles from entering your hair scalp. There are tiny organism and particles in the air, unseen by your eyes and once they attached themselves on your hair scalp, they can do more damage than you think. That is to say it keeps your hair scalp clean and free from the dirt. But it has to be a clean cap you are wearing. If you wear some dirty and unwashed cap, it makes it even more deadly than if you hadn't worn one.

(3) I have a friend who used to say that he hates wearing a cap when he works. He worked as a chef and he constantly had to wear a cap, as a health safety precaution and it's a law required by city health inspectors. It made me think positive about it and i realized that wearing cap isn't a bad thing after all. It does have a lot of positive effect on your hair, even if you work for food industry and you are around grease and oil for most of your work hours. By wearing a cap while working in a oily and greasy environment prevents the oil from attaching onto your hair scalp. This is good because you do not want too much oil to get onto your hair scalp. Have you ever noticed why bald people almost always have a shiny head? That is because of the presence of oil on their head scalp. But these oils are not from other sources, they come from your own natural hair scalp oil called sebum. Your hair follicles naturally produces oily substance and if produced in excess amount is not good for your hair. This is the reason why people actually go bald, because their scalp produces too much oil that kills and blocks the hair follicles in your head scalp.

(4) However, do not wear a very tight fitting cap on your head. If you do so, you will only be depriving your hair from the much needed blood circulation. Your hair needs a good amount of blood circulation to obtain nutrients to grow and become stronger.

(5) One tip you should be aware of, is to try not to get into the habit of wearing your cap for too long. When you are in indoors and the temperature inside is not too cold or too hot, you should take your cap off and let your hair breathe some fresh air. Your hair needs a good circulation of air as well to grow and become stronger.

(6) If you almost always wear your cap all the time, people will get used to seeing you with a cap on your head. But when you take off your cap and your head is not covered, people will exclaim and be surprised at how bald you actually are. This will make you feel embarrassed and ashamed of yourself. So, to prevent this from happening to you, you should instead try not to wear a cap while indoors, so that people will get used to seeing you bald and won't be surprised when you take your cap off. This had happened to my friend in real life and he told me afterward, how bad he felt when people were surprised at how bald he looked.

Yet another amazing natural remedy to combat hair loss, originally used by the Egyptians and the Arabians during 2000 B.C.

2011-01-24T05:26:00.000-08:00

Have you ever felt that your hair is always dry and weak, no matter whatever product in the market, you've used but none of them turned out to be doing any good to your dry hair? Well, now you can change that and put an end to that problem forever. The reason why your hair is always dry and weak, is that it lacks the moisture required in your hair scalp, to hold the hair roots firmly in its place. What happens when your hair roots is dry, is that it simply allows your hair to be pulled or ejected out of your hair scalp, without much effort. You would have noticed, that just by running your hand over your hair scalp, those dry and weak hair very easily falls off your head. Those lost hair are precious and you can't afford to lose any of them under normal circumstances. Every single piece of your hair counts and needs to be saved in order for you to preserve your hair line.

I came upon this old concept of combating hair loss accidentally, a few weeks ago. I started having some itching skin problem on my body just a few weeks earlier, probably due to the dry harsh winter weather. My body skin was dry, and i could see my own body skin flakes, dropping off my body. God i hate the winter but we still have to live with it. Then one day, by chance i happen to find a product, a body wash made of Oatmeal Colloidal. This oatmeal as i learned, technically is not the same as the oatmeal that some people eat for food. This Colloidal Oatmeal are made from very fine grounded Oatmeal powder, and mixed with water or other liquid solution, to create the wonderful results product. I used the Oatmeal Body wash for a couple of days and noticed a great improvement in the texture of my skin. It gave my skin so much moisture needed to maintain smooth skin and it prevents the dry weather from damaging my skin.

I began to think that i could apply the same concept to preserving the lost moisture in my hair. So i went Oatmeal hunting again in the market and found some Oatmeal Moisturizer Lotion for the hair and i tried it. It worked miracles, and i must say i could feel my hair so strong and silky as never before. When i run my hand over my hair, no hair fell off my hair scalp. I was puzzled that before when i did just that, dry hair would easily fall off my hair scalp. Also, i tried another shampoo containing Colloidal Oatmeal and it also worked wonders. Not many people realise that such great results can be obtained from simple sources.

The Egyptians and the Arabians used them as a skin beauty treatment as early as 2000 BC. The ancient Romans and Greeks also used oat baths to heal skin problems and hair loss. Oats are great for treating skin because, when colloidal oatmeal covers the skin, it actually binds to the skin. This binding helps it moisturize and soften the skin, as well as help protect it. This is because the water is attracted to the skin and held there by the colloidal oatmeal. Colloidal oatmeal is also beneficial because of its natural ingredients, which include cellulose and fiber. All of these characteristics combined also are why colloidal oatmeal is able to make the skin softer and more elastic, and it also helps to fight hair loss.

A Century old secret you thought you knew? Learn the simplest natural way to grow strong hair, explained in personal detail.

2011-01-17T05:10:00.000-08:00

For centuries, in the early days of people's history, people have been using this method to prevent hair loss and stimulate new hair growth. For many, this old traditional secret had brought great results to prevent rapid hair loss for men and women. With the advancement in science and bio-technology, all the new hair loss products out in the current markets still aren't as effective as the old traditional and natural method of preventing hair loss. So, what makes this method so special? The answer lies in the use of Egg Yolks on your hair for hair loss treatment.

Let me explain it this way, our human hair are made up of proteins. The more protein your body is able to make to build your hair, the stronger and faster your hair is going to grow. But sometimes due to personal health concerns, some people's body may not be able to produce enough protein to support strong hair. Whatever is left of the proteins manufactured in the body, has been consumed by your body, to provide energy for your body movement and other metabolic activities. So, where is the protein left to build up your strong hair? None. Therefore, in order to provide enough protein for your hair, you need to follow some simple steps which your hair will thank you for. We will use egg yolks to put on your hair since we know eggs yolk contains rich amount of protein.

Separate the yellow egg yolk into a bowl and discard the white portion of the egg. Now, to this yellow egg yolk add few table spoonful of almond or sesame oil (Also contains rich protein nutrients) and a dash of lemon. Mix well and apply on your hair. Wrap your hair with a plastic shower cap and let it stay for about 30 mintues. Then, you can wash your hair with good shampoo only, such as the Sebamed PH 5.5 shampoo, as mentioned before in my previous post. Do not wash your hair with hair conditioner, as most people believe they should. I will explain in my next post why hair conditioner is bad for your hair and why you should try to avoid using it entirely. Do this for twice a week and you will begin to see great improvemnt in the thickness and strength of your existing hair and possibly new strong hairs.

I tried this wonderful method for about a month, and am seeing amazing result. I am so delighted with this result that i just can't help it but had to share the secret with everyone on the internet. As i believe that human kindness will always be rewarded in one way or the other. Stay tuned for more interesting post to come and learn all the great secrets you never knew.

Are you on Anabolic steroid to gain strong muscles and body? Beware of the side effects of using Anabolic steroid that could cause hair loss.

2011-01-13T18:02:00.000-08:00

Are you a body builder and you use anabolic steroid to gain strength and stamina? Ever wondered why many body builders usually have bald head or extreme hair loss? Chances are, you are suffering from some degree of hair loss problem from using anabolic steroid. It's true that Anabolic steroid triggers the rapid hair loss which would otherwise have been slower if Anabolic steroid was not used. Steroids are essentially natural body hormones that has various results in the case of anabolic steroid to increase your metabolic rate, increase heart rate, dilation of your eyes pupil, diversion of your blood supply away from your digestive system or urinary system, increase in the blood supply to your arms, legs, and all body muscles.

Why this type of steroid contributes to your hair loss, is that it increases your sex hormones which are testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). As you know from my previous articles post, DHT is the main factor of hair loss in most individuals. The only solution to stopping hair loss is to reduce or completely stop the production of DHT in your body system. You will have to reduce the amount of Anabolic steroid if you are taking them or find another alternative steroid which doesn't increase your DHT in your body. There are various alternative steroid available in the market that does just that to prevent the increase of DHT in your body, while giving you the strength and stamina for sports or bodybuilding. You will feel a big difference in the health and texture of your hair, once you follow my advice on trying to avoid anabolic steroid and try for other alternatives.

Everyone talks about Saw Palmetto as a natural cure for hair loss. Does it really work for you? Read what it did to me.

2011-01-10T15:49:00.000-08:00

Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens or Sabal serrulata) is a dwarf palm plant native to North America. It primarily grows along the Atlantic coast in Georgia and Florida. The active ingredients are believed to be found in the plant's brown-black berries. Saw Palmetto can be bought as natural supplement pills from many drug store without any prescription required and is not very expensive to buy. I read about the positive effect of using Saw Palmetto to stop hair loss and so i decided to try it. Be careful that there are various side effects too, in taking this supplement. Side effects are not the same for all people and may vary according to the way your body handles the supplement ingredients.

How it works is that it may block an enzyme (5-alpha-reductase) from allowing the hormone testosterone from being converted to another hormone, dihydrotestosterone. Dihydrotestosterone is considered a key contributing factor to the onset and progression of androgenic alopecia

In weeks time of taking this supplement, i could see some positive results already and small tiny hairs could be seen growing from the scalp. These new hair growth unlike the ones obtained from using Topical Minoxidil solution or Oral Finasteride are much thicker and stronger. The new hair doesn't fall off that easy either after stoping the use of Saw Palmetto. The only problems i experience were the mild headaches, stomach pain, bad breath, nausea, lost of energy. If you think you can handle these problems then you could go for this remedy of taking Saw Palmetto Supplement, otherwise it is better to choose an alternate remedy for hair loss. I was on the Saw Palmetto supplement for about a year untill i decided i couldn't take it no more with all those side effects. I did gained back quite some hair on the scalp and they were thick and strong, but all those side effects could not be tolerated anymore. Overall, i would say for those who have a stonger tolerance to the side effects, taking Saw Palmetto have a good potential as a remedy for stopping hair loss.

Winter can do more harm to your hair than you know. Do you know why?

2011-01-06T23:24:00.000-08:00

Sure winter is lovely and beautiful for some people who love the snow and ice but for others suffering from hair loss, it is the time for extreme hair loss. Cold, dry harsh wind, cracked skin are the factors that worsen the health of your hair during the winter months. The dry winter weather takes away the much needed moisture, your hair needs to grow on your scalp, making your hair weak and easily detached from your head scalp. Cracked skin due to dryness further speeds up the hair loss process. If you have noticed, people who lived in the warmer tropical regions of the world rarely loses hair as much as people who lived in the colder climate regions. Thats because the warm humid air in the tropical regions brings moisture to your hair and scalp.

The remedy? Apply oil to your hair before shower, wait fifteen minutes and then wash it off your hair using hot shower water. Remember, you need to have installed chlorine shower filter, to filter off the chlorinated water as mentioned in my previous post. Do this for about two times in a week to prevent any dryness in your hair roots.

Ever thought your poor eyesight could be the real culprit for your hair loss? Believe it.

2011-01-06T22:44:00.000-08:00

Very often, it has been said that the general health of a person, can be determined by observing the eyes of that person. Even the health of your hair depends greatly on the health of your eyes. You would notice that people who wears eye glasses (For seeing Far Distance Object) tends to lose hair faster than those people who doesn't wear any eye glasses. The reason simply being that by wearing eye glasses, enough stress is caused on the person and we all know by now, that stress triggers hair loss. If you can solve your bad eyesight problems, you would notice a great improvement in the texture of your hair and experience new hair growth quickly.

One suggestion to improve your eyesight and to encourage new hair griwth is to wear +1 Plus power reading glasses while using computer or reading books from a close distance. Provided that you have myopia (difficulty seeing far distance objects), you can follow the mentioned method and you will see great improvement in your vision as well as you hair growth. I personally have tried this secret not known to anyone as yet, but am providing this knowledge to the public for free.

A breakthrough solution for thinning hair proven to work and i tried it first.

2010-03-18T18:23:00.000-07:00

I recently received a gift from my dad living outside North America, and since he never told me what it was, i assumed it was some latest electronic gadgets. He knows i like electronics gadgets and he would occasionally buy me the latest cool gadgets whenever someone close to us comes to North America for a visit. But to my surprise, it wasn’t a gadget he did send me. It turned out to be an anti-thinning hair loss solution made by the famous international brand called L’oreal. As most of you would have been familiar with the company brand i completely felt for this thing. As it is i was already on my way to regaining my lost hair using my very own method but i decided to give the product a try. Who knows this new product that my dad bought me could speed up my hair regaining process.

I used this solution for only a week now, and holy god....i couldn’t imagine how fast i could see the result in such a short notice. I could feel my hair become strong and tough to the roots. Unlike Minoxidil topical solution which drys up your hair scalp and causes itchiness coupled with other side effects, this product virtually has no side effects at all. It doesn’t smell bad and it drys up itself very fast in about five minutes after application. Its amazing how i started seeing new hair growth and these new hairs are strong and thick unlike those small weak hair you get from using Minoxidil. Also, once you completed the treatment, you don’t need to continuously use it for further hair growth like other products do. Your hair scalp would take its own course and produce hair like it was supposed to do so.

You would also not lose the new hair that you just gained; it would be with you forever. How perfect is that! As for some information about this new amazing product that i tried, i would just copy and paste the product information from the L’oreal product info so that vital product information is not left out.

A new approach to your hair loss diet – simply Yogurt.

2009-11-15T12:58:00.000-08:00

What is yogurt? According to the dictionary, yogurt is a thick custard-like food prepared from milk that has been curdled by bacteria, often sweetened and flavoured with fruit, chocolate, etc. You might be wondering how by eating this stuff, you can help fight hair loss. Look no more, because the answer is here.

As you might have known, that yogurt helps in the digestion of food, in our human body, and it introduces friendly bacteria into our digestive system. It also helps in the better absorption of minerals and proteins found in the food we eat. Our hair is made up of proteins. If your body doesn’t absorb proteins properly, no matter how much protein you eat, it will all go to waste. This is where yogurt comes to help your digestive system. Yogurt creates friendly bacteria inside your stomach and helps make use of the proteins to make your hair grow.

You will start to notice a great difference in your hair, once you start eating Yogurt. Yogurt has also other benefits, all of which is worth noticing. You will not feel that hungry when you are on a yogurt diet, which will help you, lose weight also. But be cautioned, that those who are food sensitive to Milk ingredients will not be able to reap the benefits of Yogurt. Yogurt contains skimmed milk ingredients; as such people with food allergy might have some adverse reaction to yogurt.

I personally, hit upon this fact accidentally. I was having some stomach digestion problem before and was looking for natural cure for indigestion, rather than taking medicine. I found yogurt to be very helpful and to my surprise, after only a couple of days, i could feel a big difference in the texture of my hair. My hair feel so much stronger and i had not expected any of this hair loss prevention power with yogurt. Thanks to yogurt, am not losing hair anymore. You can try eating yogurt too. It is cheap and very healthy to eat and best of all, you will be growing back your hair the natural way, without using any of those commercial hair loss product. Save your money and live better!

Who says size doesn’t matter? Comb size does matter, at least for your hair.

2009-11-05T19:25:00.000-08:00

Combs come in many sizes and shapes, and you will be puzzled to choose the right one. Choosing the wrong one could do your hair harm and cause permanent damage. On the contrary, picking the correct comb can save your precious hair. But when in doubt, which comb do you go for? The thick ones, thin ones, long ones or the short ones?

The answer is any one. But there is only one thing you should take note of. Whichever type of comb you choose to style your hair, always go for the ones which has wider teeth spaces, meaning the gap between each teeth should be large enough to comb your hair. The reason why such kind of comb proves to be effective is that it does not pull off your hair when you are brushing with it. The wider-spaced-teeth comb allows your hair to complete its life cycle before falling off.

Using combs with very small teeth spaces simply pull the hairs off your head, at each stroke you make. They can contribute to your hair loss. Beware of combs with sharp tooth. They could dig at your hair roots and damage your head scalp. Also avoid using comb with too many teeth. By using those kind of comb, at least a few of the comb teeth could get tangled in your hair, while you brush your hair, again causing the hair to be pulled off your head. Instead go for those slim lined type of combs.

Below is a picture of the type of comb you should avoid because of its teeths, which are very close to each other.

Have you seen your allergy specialist yet? Studies found allergy could cause you to lose hair.

2009-11-04T07:16:00.000-08:00

Lately, studies found that Hair loss could be linked to allergy problems. If you are experiencing hair loss and at the same time, also suffering from any type of allergies, the answer to your hair loss is right there - allergy. It may not seem sensible but allergy is a condition where your body immune system treats any protein present in your body as foreign invaders. Allergy could result in Hives, Difficulty in breathing, Itchy eyes & ears, Headaches, Dizziness, Sneezing and of course, hair loss.

Let me explain to you how allergy interferes with your hair problem. In case of people who have food allergy, when they eat food containing protein, the body immune system reacts to that protein and treats it as foreign invaders. Your body will produce the natural chemicals called “Histamine” to fight the allergens (Protein) and you will start to feel itchy on certain areas of your body. You might have other symptoms as well. This is because for some reason, your body’s immune system had become highly sensitive or hyper sensitive and it reacts abnormally to proteins which is otherwise harmless. People who suffered from allergy are usually skinny and thin because they are deprived of those valuable proteins required to build strong muscles, though not in all cases. Doctors might recommend that you avoid those foods containing protein in order to avoid an allergy reaction.

As you already know, our human hairs are made up of protein. When you have allergy, your body is literally deprived of sufficient protein to produce strong hair. You might have heard about people advising you to eat more protein to grow more hair, but what if you are allergic to proteins in foods. No matter how much protein you eat, those proteins are going to be attacked by your body’s over sensitive immune system and your body will leave nothing for you to grow your hair strong. That is why you need to see your allergy specialist to solve your allergy problem first, and then you can think about saving your hair.

I had the same problem as mentioned above. I started to lose hair when at the same time, i had allergy to food. I did some research and found out the main reason why. It happened to be very much linked to my allergy problem. When i was treated for food allergy and in a year’s time my food allergy was cured, my hair loss miraculously also stopped. This made me to understand, how important it is to know that there exists a link between hair loss and food allergy.

Do you know what’s killing your hair? It could be the tap water you drink.

2009-11-01T14:01:00.000-08:00

Many of us assume that tap water is very safe to drink and some of us may choose Bottled water. But do you know that tap water is not completely safe to drink right from the tap? We need to know that there are chlorine and other bacteria present in the pipe, which supply the tap water to our homes. What we should be concerned is the amount of chlorine present in our tap water.

That chemical is what kills our hair. Although chlorine removes and kills most of the bacteria found in tap water but some bacteria could escape and causes harm to our body when ingested. Chlorine present in small amount does not cause much harm to our body but when absorbed by our body for many years, we could start feeling uncomfortable and fall ill. You might be wondering why one day, suddenly you aren’t feeling well and you experience fatigue, tiredness, stomach pain, loss of appetite, mind confusion, loss of strength, loss of concentration, and hair loss.

Blame it on the chlorine present in our tap water. We understand that chlorine helps keep our drinking water clean but then again, it has its own disadvantages. So far, there isn’t a better substitute for chlorine. The question is how can you avoid consuming too much chlorine? A lot of your health problem could go away once you are able to eliminate chlorine in tap water. It is very simple. Boil your water and then use any water filter to remove the chlorine in your water.

By boiling your water, the chlorine evaporates from the water but be caution that your exhaust fan is turned “ON” to suck the chlorine vapour out of your house. Otherwise, this chlorine vapour could do the same amount of damage as when it was present in the water. Afterwards, use a filter jug which will filter out the rest of the chlorine which hadn’t been vaporized. By following the above process, you are eliminating chlorine and also other harmful bacteria present in our tap water.

Never drink directly from the tap water. Always boil first and then filter your water. If you do the right thing, in the right way, you will see a big difference in your health and body. You will notice a big improvement in your hair loss problem. Almost instantly in a couple of days, your bad hair days will be gone and your hair loss will be so much reduced, that you won’t believe such a simple idea could save lives.

Eight ways i have tried to fight hair loss...from Minoxidil, Vitamins, Hair loss shampoos, Finasteride to Laser comb. Hear it from someone who had tried it all so you can save yourself the trouble of experimenting all best possible methods of regrowing your natural hair.

2009-10-01T20:32:00.000-07:00

Here are eight ways below that i have tried to fight hair loss the natural way. Some worked well and some did not show any signs of success. Whichever method you choose to regrow your own hair will depend on how your hair scalp (Follicles) reacts to the following methods and how discipline & desparate you are in achieving the best results.

1) During my twenties, i started to notice hair loss starting right on the temple of my forehead. I ignored the hair loss and instead my hair line started to recede at a faster pace. So, i first started to use the topical solution mino-oxidil 5% that i applied on the scalp of my head every night before going to bed. The solution proved to have mixed result.

My hair loss did lessen a bit but as soon as i stopped using it, my hair started to fall off more. I also found that the new hair that grew was so small and thin, and i was not satisfied with the results. I then proceeded to follow Step (2).

2) Secondly, i used Finasteride tablets that could be bought with medical prescription by my family Doctor. Initially the medicine did work for a month, but just like Mino-oxidil solution the hair loss came back once i stopped using it. Also, the new hair were very small and thin. Besides, the medicine makes a person feel less desireable for sex. There is loss of sex drive completely. After the medication was stopped, the sex drive was back to normal.

3) Thirdly, I read somewhere that using hands to massage the hair scalp could help in growing new hair. This could provide good blood circulation to the hair and new hair would be able to grow back and survive longer. This method proved to be tedious since i had to massage my head scalp with my fingers and palm for 5-10 minutes everyday. Instead of growing hair, more hair began to fall off due to the massage motion that caused the hair to be pulled off the head.

4) Using the Shampoo called "Sebamed Ph 5.5, everyday shampoo for normal to dry hair". This shampoo is great and it prevented hair loss. I still use this shampoo till this day. You can buy them from shoppers drugmart for like $18 or above. It may be a little expensive but the results is the best. I immediately felt the difference once i used the shampoo. There is no other shampoo like this one.

5)Hot and Cold water shower:- this is basically one of the cheapest method to provide blood circulation to the scalp head. but it might not be good for everybody. I personally stopped this method due to the reason that i don't like cold water. How this works is that, when you are done with your shower, you can turn the tap to hot steaming water and put your head into the falling shower water for one minute. Then turn the tap to cold water and put your head into the falling shower water. Repeat this cycle untill you feel refreshed and you can take it no more.

6) Our hair needs heat to grow properly just like plants needs sunlight. I have noticed that when i used to live in hotter country, my hair was very good, long and thick. I did not experience any hair loss then. But when i moved to cold country, my hair suffered badly and hair loss started. So, i sometimes try to get as much sunlight as i can onto my head to stimulate blood circulation to my hair scalp.

7) I have tried various vitamins/natural supplements to grow hair but one piece of advice for everyone. Vitamins and supplements does not work for everyone. It did not work for me. Instead my health became worse than ever and believe me or not, my stomach digestion suffered. I only ate once a day where as i used to eat at least three meals a day and large quantity of food. I came to the point when i sometimes don't eat at all for a single day.

I just did not feel hungry at all because of the effect of Vitamins/Supplements. So, i stopped taking Vitamins/Supplements and my health was back to Normal again. One thing i also learned was that consuming sugar had a bad effect on my hair. Sugar damaged the quality of my hair.

8) Laser Comb:- This last method proved to be the best method but it involved purchasing a hair product. It is the latest method of growing hair in the market. It is the laser Comb. I tried using the product and it really works. Laser comb had miraculously also improved my stomach digestion. I don't know how but Laser Comb had a double purpose, to grow hair and improve stomach digestion. I still use my Laser Comb and am getting great results. Although, this is an expensive product, it was really worth the investment.

"Hair loss"- be positive towards regaining hair naturally. Use the power of your brain to fight severe hair loss and embark on your journey to your original natural hair.

2009-10-01T20:20:00.000-07:00

Ever since i started to notice a bit of hair loss when in my Twenties, my fight with hair loss had never stopped and never will. We should always believe and be positive that there are ways to improve the quality of One's hair. If we give up and let hair loss conquer us, then the rate of hair loss would be faster and more severe.

Therefore, by taking care of what is remaining, very often we would stumble upon new hair products/techniques that really works. Then we could stand up and say that we won the hair loss battle finally.

"There are times when people give up when they are just one step to success"-Quotes.

Of course, people say that hair loss is genetic and is pre-determined at birth as to when hair loss would occur. But if we follow some practise and techniques of maintaining hair, we can then interrupt the hair loss period and instead grow some new hair.

Our brain is compared to a computer which does various task and controls what our next move is going to be. Just like computer needs program to function, our brain needs a certain program or command to function. By mastering this command, you can command your brain to grow more hair on your head. You may be wondering how this can be achieved. It is really simply and it does work miraculously.

This is what you should do to carry out this techniques. Using the softer part of your fingers on both hands, slowly massage your entire bald spot in a circular motion and feel the blood circulation flowing towards your head. Now imagine your hair is becoming stronger and healthier and that your hair is getting all the nourishment it needed. Think how confident you would be once you get your natural hair back and how people would be loving your hair once again. Take some time off your busy schedule to appreciate whatever remaining hair you have and how it would feel like to have a totally new hair coming out of your scalp. Look at yourself in the mirror and picture the "NEW" you. This method had worked wonders by boosting your self confidence and self esteem and studies showed that 'stress' the main factor causing Hair Loss was reduced.

To better improve your blood circulation to your scalp, one would also use the power of breathing to bring in enough oxygen for your hair follicles to survive. Sitting in a very relaxed position, you can take a deep breathe in with your chest held out and high, and hold your breathe for as long as you can while maintaining the same posture. Then, when you can hold it no more, realease your breathe slowly and gently exhale.

Play a soft music in the background, to make yourself more relaxed and concentrating on your breathing. It has been known that Music can cause the brain to realease a powerful chemical into your body system and makes you feel totally relaxed. Stress will be completely eleminated when you reach this stage and you should be feeling fresh from the inside and outside. At this time, do not keep any sort of negative thoughts whatsoever in your mind that would bear the weight on your mind. Let your worries take care of themselves just for 10 minutes and you would see the difference you can bring in yourself.

Minoxidil 5%..does it really work or you might think so? Is it really worth a try? Hear it from someone who had tried it.

2009-09-30T23:16:00.000-07:00

Male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is a heriditary thinning of a person's hair untill the scalp area becomes completely bald. All this happens gradually over the course of time and very often if left untreated, would become severe and irreversible.

Luckily, there is Minoxidil liquid solution to help people regrow their hair or you might think so.But there have been some doubts about the effects of the solution considering the side effects and the amount of time it takes to notice any difference in hair structure.

People reported itchy and dry scalp along with minor swelling when used initially. Some even mentioned that it caused hair dandruff and instead had speed up the hair loss more rapidly than without having used it before. The truth about Minoxidil is that it does really work but if you stopped using the solution for some period of time, all the hair that you had taken the pain to regrow will be lost again. That means all your hard work down the drain. Anyways, although the new hair does come out of your head scalp, those are very fine and thin hair and if not taken proper care of, they could just die off easily.

Minoxidil is supposed to bring blood circulation to the head scalp area and feed the hair follicles with fresh oxygen and nutrients. Thats an essential purpose of using Minoxidil. Unfortunately, with it comes another side effect which is it increases your blood pressure and your heart beat rate. Caution must be taken by patients with risk of high blood pressure since complication could develope with the use of Minoxidil solution. It is better to consult a dermatologist if you plan to start using Minoxidil Solution.

I personally had used Minoxidil in the past and found it to be quite effective at first. I used to put on several drops of the solution on my bald spots at night right after shower and then wait till it got dried to get to bed. The next morning i would feel some strength in my hair and i could feel more volume of my hair but at the same time, my head scalp felt itchy and dry. Dandruff was a common scene each morning, and i couldn't help but keep scratching my head. This somewhat made some of my hair fall off more easily. And so, i began to doubt the effectiveness of the solution. One famous Dermatologist who had seen thousands of patients told me that Minoxidil will not work on me, and that only as the last resort, my only option will be Hair Surgery Transplant.

There was some hope in the solution though. After having used the solution for a couple of months, i did see some good results in my hair. I actually saw some new thin hair sprouting out of my scalp. I was overjoy but hold on....it did last long. All those side effects i mentioned before. they did not go away..and i kept scratching my itchy scalp and in time, those new thin hair that just started to grow would just fall off. And there i am, back to square one. Money spent, Time spent, Energy spent, with lots of hope but it was all in vain.

I then started research on natural ways to regrow my hair without using those commercially available products, and i successfully found a home made solution of my own. I used common sense and with some experiment was able to develope a perfect and inexpensive way to regrow my lost hair. Some of my colleagues noticed a big difference in the appearance of my hair and they wondered how i did it. It only took me a week to notice the difference in my hair structure and my hair volume. I could see new strong hair coming out of my scalp. If you would like to know how my home made solution will help you grow your hair back, drop me a comment or email me and i would be gald to help you out. All it takes is for you to show that you are interested and i would handle the rest.

The bottom line is :

It works on some people and it doesn't work on others. We should keep in mind that all of us are not born the same in terms of health and our immune system. What is important is that we should all try out different methods and maybe one of the method would work out right.

How does Finasteride works to regrow lost hair? Find out if it is right for you.

2009-09-30T22:43:00.000-07:00

Finasteride is an oral medication which blocks the release of an Enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Testosterone is a male hormone that are produced in the human body by male sexual organs and this hormone is responsible for male features such as beard, moustache, arm pits hair, deep male voice, and development of male sexual organs. In fact, everyone whether male or female, has got both the male testosterone and the female oestrogen. It just depends on how much of each hormones are produced in the body that determines the sex of the person.

Testosterones are not harmful themselves but if they are produced in excess amount, they can be converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT then attach themselves to hair follicles on the scalp and blocks the supply of blood to the hair follicles. This in turn causes hair to fall off rapidly due to insufficient supply of blood to the hair follicles. Hair follicles are simply tiny blood vessels underneath the base of the hair shaft and they are compared to the roots of a tree. Very often, hair loss can be totally reversed just by correcting this condition.

Finasteride works on the above principle by inhibiting the production of 5-alpha reductase. By doing so, minimum or no DHT will be produced. This allows the hair follicles to remain healthy and strong, thus maintaining good natural hair. It is easier said than done though. Finasteride does have some side effects and people had mixed results from the use of this medication. Personally, one of the side effects i experienced was the reduction of sexual desire and the increase in the blood pressure. If you are a sexually active person, you would lose much of your sexual drive and you should let your partner know about your medication in order not to damage your personal relationship. Also, the rise in blood pressure will cause you to feel uncomfortable through continued use of the oral medication.

Blurry vision is also a common side effects experienced by people using Finasteride. Once they stop the medication, all of the mentioned side effects also stopped. Finasteride was actually an oral medication used to treat prostate cancer in the past. Doctors had noticed that people who were given the medication also resulted in the increase of hair on the head scalp region. This somehow led to the discovery of the use of Finasteride medication to treat hair loss. DHT also causes a person’s prostate gland to enlarge and by using Finasteride, a person can achieve both results at the same time through the use of this medication. They can help reduce hair loss and also prevent or cure prostate cancer.

In 1997 the FDA approved Finasteride to treat hair loss in male pattern baldness, and is registered in many countries under the trade name Propecia®. However, Finasteride should not be used by pregnant woman since it would cause harm to the babies inside their womb and could lead to a potentially dangerous situation. Your family Doctors should be informed if you are taking this medication and be aware that prolonged use of the medication along with the side effects experienced could lead to unknown condition that could cause damage to your body.

The pros and cons of using a low level laser therapy (Laser Comb) that claims to work for everyone in the comfort of your own home.

2009-09-30T22:42:00.000-07:00

In the early days, people use to have their hair Laser therapy done in clinics in their locality. This was during the discovery of using low level laser, to stimulate hair regrowth for people suffering from hair loss. Money, Time and location were the issues, since appointments had to be made with those clinics for the laser therapy and as such sometimes it becomes very inconvenient to be regular and perform the regular laser therapy.

This type of clinical treatment was also expensive and would usually be done for the celebrities or the rich folks. So, smaller version of the laser equipment was developed with the intent of reaching out to a larger mass of people in the world including the not-so-wealthy people. It quickly became a hot demanding item and was called the Laser Comb and they came in various power and sizes. Some laser comb have stronger laser light and some have weaker ones.

Then in January 2007, the FDA approved the Lasercomb making it the very first proven drug-free solution to combat hair loss. In clinical studies done throughout the world, participants reported promising results from the use of new Lasercomb. However, whether the result in new hair growth in the bald scalp area will be a permanent change or will the new hair fall off when laser comb is not used anymore, is still something unknown? How about any side effects that comes with this laser treatment? Although there aren’t many side effects resulting from the use of Lasercomb, there are at least some side effects. Also, Lasercomb claims to work for both Men and Women unlike Finasteride or Propecia which can only be used by Men and is not generally used on pregnant Women.

Only by spending about 10-15 minutes for three times a week, a person would start noticing some difference in their hair by the end of two months or so. How Laser comb works is that it emits 5 – 9 low level laser which stimulates the hair follicles and increase blood circulation in the body. In course of time, through the use of laser comb there is a chance of dead hair follicles reviving itself and they might start producing strong new hair.

OTHER BENEFITS OF LASER THERAPY:

Reduces excess levels of scalp dihydrotestorone (DHT) by aiding in the normalization of scalp sebum production.

Reduces inflammatory lymphocytic infiltrate around the hair follicle—a possible cause of alopecia areata.

The significant anti-inflammatory effect of laser therapy make it an excellent treatment for psoriasis, eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, neurodermatitis and most other autoimmune conditions effecting the hair and scalp.

Laser therapy’s proven effectiveness in improving tissue microcirculation and re-vascularisation make it an ideal therapy for pre and post-operative hair transplantation and skin grafting procedures. Laser Therapy reduces post-operative swelling and burning significantly, and enhances the body’s natural anti-inflammatory responses to help alleviate the pain, itching and swelling associated with acute viral illnesses such as chicken pox (varicella), where the blisters are predominantly located on the scalp or face.

My personal experience with using the Laser Comb can be summarized as not effective at all. I started searching for the best alternate method of regrowing hair in the internet and came across many websites that claims to prove promising results just by using Laser Comb. Hairmax was one of the most expensive products in laser comb product. But I didn’t go for that product since it was expensive; instead i went for a cheaper model yet very similar in description to the original Hairmax Comb. Initially, i tried the product and liked it. It seemed to be working well for me but then i also began to experience a funny feeling in my body. My memory became very limited and my reaction to certain situation was much slower than before the use of Laser Comb. It took me longer to react to things that before would take me split seconds. Most of the time, i would feel tired and lethargic and no desire to hang out with friends as before i used to do. Things that used to be once interesting, i now found it to be boring. I couldn’t understand why this was happening to me when i suddenly realised that i was on Laser Comb treatment.

This made me to understand that laser emitted from the Laser Comb tends to interfere with our human body nervous system. In my case, since this laser was emitted and directed on our hair scalp, the laser is absorbed by our skin and signals are sent to our brain. For some unknown reason, the laser causes the nervous system to kind of freeze a bit and our nervous system would not function as efficient as before. I wonder if prolonged use of the laser comb would cause any damage to our nervous system but i believe there is every possibilities that it could. Since then, i had stopped using the laser comb and had returned to being my normal happy self. My reactions had increased tremendously and i no longer feel tired or lethargic anymore.

Head massage...do it the right way and your hair will thank you.

2009-09-30T22:30:00.000-07:00

Head massage is not a new thing and it has been practised for a very long time. People fail to realise the importance and the power of a head massage. As you already know, hair loss is usually due to genetics that is to say if someone in your family has it, you will have a greater chance of having it too. There is not much we could do to change that fact but there is one thing we can do to minimize the effect. It is called head massage.

Hair loss occurs because due to the lack of blood circulation going to the head scalp region. Hair follicles are compared to the roots of a tree which supplies nutrients to the hair. When the hair follicles does not get enough blood circulation, it provides lesser nutrients to the hair and the resulting hair coming out of the hair follicles will be thin and weak. In course of time, gradually as months passed by, you would notice that your hair will become thinner and weaker. Simply by running your hands over your hair, you will cause some of your hair to fall off. This is the sign of the hair follicles closing their gap and suffocating the new hair coming out of it, thus resulting in poor blood circulation.

FACT: Our human hair are made up of mainly proteins and are known to consist of dead cells. They do not contain any blood vessels, which is why when we cut our hair, we do not feel any pain. Hair follicles are the living part of the human hair.

Head massage brings back blood circulation to your head scalp and this in turn increases the amount of nutrients supplied to the hair follicles. however, if you do it the wrong way, you could do more damage to your hair than any good. I had a friend who did the Head massage using the wrong method and he ended up losing his hair more rapidly than ever. When i suggested to him the correct method, he immediately noticed a great improvement in his hair texture and he felt his hair has become stronger and longer. Head massage only takes about five to ten minutes each day and can be performed anytime and anywhere you feel comfortable. Unlike those hair products availalbe in the market, which are expensive and often shows no results, head massage has no side effects and best of all, its free. All you need is your pair of hands, five or ten minutes a day and you are set on a journey back to your glorious hairful days.

How do you perform the head massage? Is it really that good for your hair?

2009-09-30T22:28:00.000-07:00

Performing the head massage is very easy and oh yes, it is totally free. You can do it in your free time, during your work break, before you go to sleep, anytime and anywhere you want to. All you need is your pair of hands and five minutes of your time. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain from this simple exercise.

Here are the steps to performing the head massage and if you don't follow any of the steps, you can go back and read it again. It is very easy, yet very effective, if growing back your hair is a big concern to you.

(1)Keep both your feet together, and lean forward at your waist. Your head should fall below your waist level.

(2)Clench your fist tight and make it seem like you are holding a microphone and about to sing.

(3)Use the softer part of your hand between your index finger knuckle bone and your thumb knuckle bone. Use that fleshy part of your hand to gently tap on your head scalp.

(4)You can use both your hands for the head massage to cover a larger area.

(5)Gently keep tapping your head in all of the areas which need blood circulation and you would feel more relaxed and better.

(6)Do this for five or ten minutes each day and your hair follicles will get all the blood circulation it needs to regrow new strong hair.

Can you use vibration hair brush to do the head massage?

2009-09-30T22:26:00.000-07:00

There are hair brushes available in the market which features automatic vibrating action that also brings blood circulation to the head scalp. They can be as effective as using your own hand, but you will have to carry the automatic vibrating hair brushes around with you, whenever you want to do a head massage.

On the above, is the picture of a vibrating hair brush. Nowadays, they are cheap to buy and comes in various sizes and shapes. Choose the one that feels comfortable in your hand and which has a sufficient power to provide the vibration you want.

The Vibration hair brushes looks similar to an ordinary hair brushes and it uses a pair of AA battery or AAA battery to operate. They can be a little uncomfortable to use, since the end of the hair teeth on the hair brush, will hit against your head scalp in a very fast and rigorous motion. It feels like a slight pinch sensation and some of the hair brushes has a high speed button which you can use to get a faster vibration. I do not suggest using the high speed option because your head scalp will feel very sore and painful very quickly after just a couple of minutes. When you are using the automatic hair brush, you might actually cause some hair to be pulled off your head but don't panic, because this is normal and it doesn't contribute to hair loss.

FACT: A normal person lose about 50 - 100 strands of hair each day.

Vitamins - how do you choose which vitamins to take to regrow your hair?

2009-09-30T22:25:00.000-07:00

Vitamins, the name itself is enough to scare anyone from choosing the right one, because of the many types of Vitamins available in the market. Also, choosing the right company is very important, since this is about regrowing your own hair that matters.

Cheap vitamins may not always be the best and expensive ones on the other hand may not always perform better. Most of the vitamins comes in capsules or tablets form and they are very easy to swallow. Vitamin C sometimes comes in chewy tablet, which means you can chew on the tablets, without having to swallow it. As i was once told by a family Doctor, that Vitamins cannot exist by itself. It has to be mixed with some other ingredients to form the capsules or tablets.

FACT: Vitamins can save your life and bring you back to normal, whatever your normal is:
