Chronic Telogen Effluvium (CTE)is the clinical name characterised by this temporary hair loss.

The Hair Growth Cycle
Anagen : The growth phase.
Catagen :The shrieveling up phase.
Telogen: The resting phase.(The hair remains in the folicle until it is pushed out by a genertion of a new anogen hair.


CTE can be triggered when physiological stress or hormonal change causes a large number of hairs to enter telogen at one time . Hair does not fall out unil the new anagen hairs grow.

Biochemistry / Modes of Action

Iron: The absorption of iron is the key to the Female Hair Loss Formula. Chelated forms or iron (which are combined with an amino acid) are better absorbed than iron salts such as ferrous sulphate and ferous gluconate.

Vitamin C (ascerbic acid) has been included in the formula to optimise the absorption of iron and also acts as a free radical scavanger.

L-Lsine: An essential amino acid and is an important structural component of proteins.
This is an important constituent of this formula as it also enhances the absorption of iron. Research indicates that the bioavailability of iron in the presence of protein (L-Lysine) is more bioavailable than with an isolated iron salt.

Biotin: Biotin function in the Female Hair Loss Formula is to facilitate protein metabolism thus assisting in the regeneration of new hair fibres and improving scalp condition.

Co-enzyme Q10: It is the dermal papilla (DP) which directs and dictates the generation of hair follicles and it consists of highly active groups of cells. Co-enzyme Q10 function is to induce activity of mechanisms of DP cells for the generation of new hair fibre growth.

Kelp (Iodine 150g) (the kelp is derived from dried extracts of Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus) Studies show that under-production of hormones can have profound effects on hair follicular activity and the quality of hair produced.
Even a temporary imbalance of levels can lead to telogen effluvium type hair loss.

Silica: (The silica is obtained from powdered Bamboo gum) Bambousa arundinacea 320mg) Silican (silica dioxide) is present in almost every tissue and essential for cell growth. It is especially concentrated in the hair fibre. Silica has been added to Female Hair Loss Formula to contribute to the structural resilience of new hair fibres and imporove scalp condition.

N-Dimethylglycine: (DMG-N) is a water soluble antioxidant important in many biological systems. It is a physiological compound found in minute amounts in foods such as cereal grains, seeds and meats. Its main function in Female Hair Loss Formula is the involvement of energy mechanisms and protein synthesis. Another function is increasing the oxygen carrying capabilities in DP cells during the generation of new hair fibre and also helps to improve blood circulation in the scalp.
