Provillus Review

Provillus is a hair loss treatment for both men and women manufactured by Ultra Herbal (also known as HealthBuy).  As with most genetic hair loss prevention systems, the active ingredients in Provillus act as DHT blockers, which prevents further hair loss and thining.

DHT is the derivative of the male hormone, testosterone, and it is known to be a primary cause of hair loss in genetic pattern baldness.  DHT affects the hair follicles directly, causing them to shrink and ultimate stop producing hair.  Hair treatments that use a DHT inhibitor allow hair follicles to continue their normal growth pattern.

The ingredients in Provillus are natural herbs and dietary supplements in pill form.  Thus, the oral product does not need FDA approval or a doctor’s prescription.  The active DHT inhibitor in Provillus is saw palmetto, which is also successfully used in other hair loss products on the market.

Provillus also manufactures a topical solution containing minoxidil (the main ingredient in Rogaine).  Minoxidil is also a DHT inhibitor which works directly on the scalp and into the hair follicles.

Provillus is a relatively new product on the market, and therefore, there are very few statistics on the success rate of the product.  However, the proprietary blend of herbal supplements, along with the DHT inhibitor, is designed to thwart DHT’s effects of shrinking hair follicies, while supplying each active hair follicle with nutrients needed to produce healthier, thicker hair.

Benefits of Provillus

The DHT inhibitors and vitamin supplements in Provillus work to stop hair loss in its tracks.  The active ingredients, which are saw palmetto in the pill and minoxidil in the topical formula, prevent each hair follicle from experiencing the shrinking effects of DHT.  Thus, the folliciles can continue to grow healthy, stronger hair.  Most users of Provillus do not experience further hair loss, and their existing hair continues to grow thicker and stronger.

Method of Treatment

Provillus, in herbal pill form, is a vitamin supplement taken daily.  The topical formula is recommended to be used directly on the scalp twice a day.

Costs of Provillus

The makers of Provillus offer a 30-day money back guarantee.  The cost for a one-month supply of the system, inclusive of the supplement and topical formula, is about $50.

Side Effects

The makers of Provillus purport that there are no known side effects.  However, with any ingested substance that affects the hormones, there is a risk of sexual side effects, such as decreased libido.  In addition, if taken without food, the pill may cause an upset stomach.
