Have you noticed that you are starting to shed more hair than usual lately? A certain amount of hair loss is normal, but if you are noticing that a large amount is falling out and your hair is starting to thin, you should act immediately to reverse it. If you don't, it may be extremely difficult or impossible to maintain a full head of hair. The sooner you take action to stop hair loss, the higher your odds of preventing baldness.

The best treatment option available in the initial stages of hair loss is minoxidil. Minoxidil was originally developed to treat high blood pressure. However, during the course of its early use, researchers discovered an unexpected side-effect: hair growth and reversal of baldness. Naturally, the discovery was heralded as a breakthrough and since then, countless people have benefited from the hair growth provided by this drug.

Minoxidil was originally marketed under the brand of Rogaine, which has become a household name. The treatments come in 5% and 2% strengths, the former is often used by men and the latter is more for women. The reason it's important to start using minoxidil when you first start noticing hair loss is that it doesn't work very well on large areas of hair loss.

Provillus is another way to treat hair loss. It contains minoxidil, the active ingredient that has made Rogaine so popular, but it also contains other active ingredients that work as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) blockers. DHT causes hair loss by binding to receptors in the hair follicles. Studies have shown that DHT is responsible for 95% of all hair loss. Provillus contains two natural DHT blockers: nettle root and saw palmeto. Together with the minoxidil, Provillus provides a powerful antidote to hair loss that will not only stop you from losing more hair, but help to grow lost hair back.

Once you start taking Provillus, it will take about 4 to 5 months before you see results. And you'll have to keep taking it if you want to maintain your new look. Provillus has limited side effects, although it may react with some blood pressure medications. Provillus is available without a prescription and can be purchased with a 6 month money-back guarantee.      

If you are just starting to lose hair, then now is the time to act. Don't wait until your head looks like George Costanza's!
