Procerin is among the leading hair loss products in the market. It is a popular choice for people who are desperate and will try out any product that promises to stabilize their balding scalps and may be even re-grow a few hairs.
A product is only as effective as its ingredients. So to be able to asses the effectiveness of Procerin we will need to asses the effectiveness of its ingredients when it comes to battling hair loss, thinning hair and even re-growth of hair. Procerin is available as a combination of topical and pill, that may be bought together or separately.
The important ingredients of the product include Saw Palmetto Berries, active ingredient, zinc sulphate, Pyroxidine, Magnesium Oxide, a blend of Nettles, Gotu Kola, Eeluthero, pumpkin seeds, Uva Ursi, Muira Puma Root and Magnesium Stearate, Di-calcium phosphate, Silicone Dioxide, Stearic Acid, Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and Pharmaceutical Glaze.
Saw Palmetto berries are known to be very effective against DHT when taken orally. It not only blocks the 5 alpha reductase enzymes but also blocks the receptor sites on cells this preventing DHT from attaching itself to the hair follicles. The product uses berries instead of berry extract thus requiring a larger amount of the berry to be effective. It may not be suitable for women in the fertility age group or those who are pregnant or lactating.
In case the consumer has an allergy for the Saw Palmetto Berries, certain side effects might occur, such as dizziness constipation, vomiting or diarrhea.
The combination of zinc and Pyroxidine (vit B6) may inhibit the conversion of the hormone Testosterone to DHT.
Nettle root may help with the growth of hair and may have side effects in the form, of scalp irritation when topically applied and stomach irritation when ingested.
Pumpkin seed extracts have delta 7 sterine that combats DHT. Eluthero from the ginseng family promoted healthy nails and hair.
Some ingredients of Procerine show anti DHT properties but no formal tests have been conducted to prove their efficacy. Others still help in the growth and health of hair but have no anti hair loss properties.
After starting the treatment it is possible to experience mild stomach problems, so it might be a good idea to take the medication with food. Also it is important to know that Procerin has no effect in case of hairloss caused by scalp trauma, chemotherapy, androgenetic areata or other causes that have nothing to do with DHT.
Chances are that the product won’t help women with hairloss in case it isn’t related to DHT. Another downside of it is that in case the treatment is discontinued, the hairloss will return. There is also an age limit when the product has the highest effect: 18-35 years.
