Minoxidil

Follicare® Minoxidil is clinically proven to help regrow hair

To get blood moving in the right places, Follicare® uses several different ingredients.  One of the most potent is 5% Extra Strength Minoxidil. 

This was the first substance approved by the FDA to grow hair and the dosage in Follicare is the maximum strength allowed by law.

Many research studies have shown minoxidil increases blood flow in the scalp. 

For example, research conducted at the University of California in San Francisco found that 5% Minoxodil increased scalp blood flow by 200% within 15 minutes of application (the effect lasted for an hour).

Other research has indicated that minoxodil also may promote hair growth by stimulating production of proteins in cells – but this hasn’t been proven definitively. About 40%-50% of those using 5% minoxdil alone experience some hair growth benefit. 

But for most men and women, 5% minoxdil alone is not enough because it only targets one cause of hair loss.  And many of those who get a benefit only grow “peach fuzz”, not the thick, healthy  hair you can grow by addressing all the reasons for hair loss at once.
