Men’s Hair Loss

Hair loss naturally occurs in over 35 million men in the U.S. alone, making men’s hair loss a major issue to many and a large percentage men choose to seek out a solution at some point in their lives. Men lose anywhere from 50 to 100 hairs each day, although most of the lost hair is constantly being replaced by newly growing hair – with the exception of men who are genetically predisposed to lose their hair permanently. Many men who experience premature hair loss assume it is as inevitable and natural as growing old. Most men dislike hearing the words like “thinning” or “receding.” The good news is there is now a hair loss treatment system available that is unlike any other solution previously available anywhere. The All New Nutreve Hair Loss Solution makes all other fragmented hair loss treatments appear ineffective. What makes Nutreve different is the product is a total solution as opposed to only a single shampoo, vitamin, or topical treatment.

What causes men’s hair loss in the first place? There are many reasons for hair loss, but the most commonly known cause of men’s hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, or what is more frequently referred to as “male pattern baldness.” Alopecia is responsible for approximately 95% of all hair loss in men.

Alopecia

Men suffering from alopecia begin to notice hair loss above both temples, and then gradually experience a receding hairline and thinning on the crown or vertex of the scalp. Some individuals may experience very progressive hair loss over time. Genetic predisposition is the primary cause of alopecia, and research indicates alopecia affects approximately 50% of men worldwide. The three most common reasons for hair loss that influences the rate and degree of hair loss are advancing age, genetics, and dihydrotesterone (DHT). Alopecia has been linked to numerous other medical conditions, including high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and heart disease.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

DHT is a hormone that shortens the growth phase of the hair cycle, causing the follicles to miniaturize and produce hair that is progressively thinner. An enzyme in the body called 5-alpha reductase regulates the production of DHT. As a person begins to age, the DHT causes a gradual slowing and breakdown of the hair follicles on the scalp. Over time, the lifecycle of the hair shaft is reduced and follicles only produce a fine, unpigmented, vellus hair. As the metabolism progresses, the effects of DHT may cause the follicles to completely stop producing hair shafts.

Age

Most men experience some degree of alopecia beginning in their 30s and 40s, and many show evidence of thinning in their 20′s and a continually progression. You can refer to the Hamilton Hair Loss Chart to the Right to see what stage of hair loss most closely resembles your condition. If you fall into the category 2 – 4 range, you are an ideal candidate for the Nutreve Hair Loss System although those with conditions approaching 5v can still benefit from the treatment program.

Alopecia Areata

This type of hair loss condition is characterized by hair loss that occurs in patches or isolated spots. Although the factors causing this condition are not completely understood by science, its likely causes and rates of progression are commonly thought to be increasing age, anxiety, stress, poor diet, an inactive lifestyle, and various hereditary causes. It is also theorized that it is an autoimmune condition in which cells of the immune system prevent hair follicles from producing healthy hair shafts.

Alopecia Totalis

This type of hair loss is extremely rare, and results in total (or near total) hair loss on the entire scalp, often including eyebrows and eyelashes.
