Folli-Activ

• Four Jobs Inside a 10-in-1 Oral Hair Formula

  DHT, follicle inflammation, hair keratin, and curcumin absorption are four separate jobs inside one oral formula.

• Saw Palmetto and the Enzyme That Makes DHT

  Liposterolic saw palmetto extract inhibits both human 5-alpha-reductase types in enzyme and prostate-cell studies.

• What the 24-Week Pumpkin Seed Oil Hair-Count Trial Measured

  Cho 2014 tested Octa Sabal Plus at 400 mg a day: hair count rose 40 percent versus 10 percent on placebo.

• Nettle Root, SHBG, and the Androgen Signal

  Nettle root lignans bind SHBG, and a 620-patient trial tracked urinary scores, flow, and prostate size.

• EGCG Inhibits 5-Alpha-Reductase in Cell-Free Assays

  Hiipakka 2002 found EGCG a potent cell-free 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor and inactive in whole cells.

• Curcumin and the Inflammatory Signals That Stop Follicles

  IL-1 and TNF-alpha stop human follicles in culture. Curcumin has a published anti-inflammatory record, and poor absorption.

• Reishi Raised Antioxidant Markers in a Six-Month Crossover

  Chiu 2017 gave 42 adults 225 mg of enriched Ganoderma lucidum for six months and tracked antioxidant labs.

• Biotin, Five Carboxylases, and Hair Loss in Deficiency

  Biotin is the cofactor for five carboxylases. Zempleni lists hair loss among the symptoms of deficiency.

• Royal Jelly, 10-HDA, and the Skin Barrier

  Royal jelly is 3 to 8 percent lipid, and a third of that fatty-acid fraction is trans-10-HDA.

• Aloe Vera Gel Cut Edema and Prostaglandin E2 in the Lab

  Aqueous and chloroform extracts of aloe gel reduced rat-paw edema, neutrophil migration, and PGE2 production.

• Piperine Lifted Curcumin Bioavailability by 2000 Percent

  In volunteers, 2 g curcumin plus 20 mg piperine raised curcumin bioavailability by 2000 percent versus curcumin alone.

• Saw Palmetto Oil and Pumpkin Seed Oil, Side by Side

  In a 12-month BPH trial each oil lowered symptom scores. A separate photo study and a hair-count trial stand beside it.

• Why This Formula Puts Piperine Next to Curcumin

  Curcumin alone at 2 grams left volunteer blood levels undetectable. Piperine at 20 mg changed that result.

• Hair Keratins, and the Biotin Cofactor Beside Them

  Human hair uses 11 type I and 6 type II hair keratins. Biotin deficiency, which includes hair loss, starves five carboxylases.

• Stress Hormones Hold Follicle Stem Cells in Rest

  Mouse stress work ties corticosterone and substance P to resting follicles. Reishi's human data are antioxidant labs.

• Scalp Comfort Follows What Inflammation Does to Skin

  Aloe gel extracts cut rat-paw edema and PGE2. Twenty-three controlled trials used aloe on wounds, burns, and psoriasis.

• EGCG Lengthened Human Hair Follicles in Culture

  Kwon 2007: EGCG at 5 micromolar lengthened cultured human follicles to 181 percent of vehicle controls.

• Why a 10-in-1 Oral Formula Covers More Ground Than One Ingredient

  Each Folli-Activ ingredient maps to a different published job. No head-to-head trial tested this capsule against a single extract.

• Nettle Root Beside Saw Palmetto: Two Androgen Papers, Two Targets

  Saw palmetto extract inhibits both 5-alpha-reductase types. Nettle lignans bind SHBG. The targets are not the same assay.

• Oral Capsules Match the Studies That Actually Used Oral Doses

  Rossi, Cho, Hong, Shoba, and Chiu dosed by mouth. Topical aloe and topical EGCG papers stay labelled as topical.
