Men and women are very interested in preventing hair loss. With as image consciousness as are society is millions gets spent on natural products for hair regrowth every year. Although hair loss is often simply genetic in origin, there are a lot of things one can do to slow down the process.

In this short article, we will look at the most common ingredients in hair loss products today.

One key ingredient you'll see in most natural hair loss products is Saw Palmetto. It is an herb that is native to America and is used in many products because it violates the production of DHT.

DHT is believed to be a major cause of hair loss. What happens is that DHT sort of strangles the hair follicles, it attaches itself to the follicle which stops the hair follicle from getting the nutrients that it needs. Saw Palmetto can be purchased in many forms. It is commonly purchased in extract, capsule and powder forms and is available in most health food stores.

A second common herb is Nettle Root. Similar to Saw Palmetto, it also stops the production of DHT. It also aids in blood circulation to the scalp. And did you know it is also a great source of Vitamin C and a host of other amino acids?

Natural products for hair re-growth or hair loss also often contain Sage. Sage has anti bacterial qualities. So it is effective in cases where the loss of hair is from fungal infections. Sage is also useful for thickening and strengthening the hair shaft. Like most other hair loss herbs it can be bought in most health food stores and comes in powder, capsule and extract forms. It is also available in whole leaf form.

Lastly good nutrition is important. Absorption of herbs is greatly enhanced by proper nutrition. Specifically, vitamin B complexes, vitamin C, and Vitamin E help the absorption of Sage, Saw Palmetto and Nettle Root. So besides helping in preventing hair loss, they also help in promoting good over all bodily health. When possible, take these in natural forms via the foods that you eat as the body can absorb these forms much faster than artificial vitamins. But if your diet is lacking, then taking supplements is the next bes thing.
