Procapil®

In clinical testing, this patented complex of natural botanical extracts and key nutrients has been shown to help reduce premature hair loss and thinning of hair.

It works by helping to:
1) counteract the negative effects of follicle killing DHT,
2) strength hair bonding to the scalp by improving hair root health and
3) increasing blood flow to the scalp, bringing nutrients to the follicle.

The beneficial actions of Procapil® have been proven in several clinical settings.

In one study of 35 volunteers using 3% Procapil® or a placebo, 67% of the Procapil® users experienced a significant improvement in just 4 months. These individuals increased the number of hairs in the anagen “growth” phase by up to 46%.

Follicare® Topical Spray contains the same 3% Procapil® used in the clinical study.

Procapil® users increased hair
in the anagen phase by 46% vs. a 3% decline in the placebo group.

Procapil Increases Hair in the Growth Phase by 46%

Of 35 volunteers with alopecia, 18 were given a hair lotion with 3% Procapil® and 17 were given a placebo. After 4 months, the anagen/telogen ratio (active hair/dormant hair) was observed and calculated via collected hair samples from both groups. 67% of the Procapil®-using volunteers had their anagen hair number increased by up to 46%. By contrast, the placebo group fell by 3%.

Procapil Improves the Hair’s Bond to the Scalp

After treatment with Procapil® , hair bulb cells were found to be highly structured and differentiated. The root sheaths were thicker, ensuring optimum anchoring.

Procapil Ingredients

Biotinyl Tripepdide-1

Biotinyl tripepdide-1 is a version of Biotin. Biotin is a B vitamin essential for cellular growth in the body and plays a key role in the manufacturing of healthy hair.

Laminin-5

Laminin-5 is a molecule found in scalp cells that helps hair attach. The ability of Procapil® to boost your scalp’s production of Laminin-5 helps to firmly anchor your hair in the scalp, preventing hair loss at the root.

Collagen IV

Collagen IV is another component of cells that is important to hair health. Collagen IV plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth, adhesion, and tissue formation, which help prevent DHT related hair loss.

Apigenin

Apigenin is an antixodiant bioflavonoid commonly found in leafy plants and vegetables. Apigenin is a powerful vasodilator, increasing circulation through blood vessels, bringing proper nutrients to the scalp.

Oleanolic acid

Oleanolic acid is an antioxidant which makes hair stronger and less susceptible to loss. It's anti inflammatory properties aid in reversing and preventing the damage caused by DHT. Oleanolic acid also has the ability to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone.
