#different mechanisms of action are at play but like. stimulants are the first line treatment for adhd

[grimark]

also i hate to be a pedant (this is a lie, i love being pedantic) but the idea that caffeine doesn't work on people with adhd or that people with adhd are "resistant" to caffeine is a misunderstanding. it's a stimulant, so it's common for people with adhd to self-medicate with caffeine, which can help align their attention span and executive function with a non-adhd baseline. this is not the same as it having "no effect", it's just that the effect looks different. and if you're used to self-medicating with large doses of caffeine then obviously you will be more tolerant of it, and a regular dose will feel like it's doing nothing.

New Human Study Confirms Potent Antidepressant Effects of SAMe

December 2010

By David Hoffnung

Life Extension® introduced SAMe (S-adenosylmethinone) in 1997. Back then it was enormously popular in Europe, but unknown in the United States.

The National Institute of Mental Health decided to fund a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that would evaluate SAMe as an additive therapy in those suffering major depression who were resistant to FDA-approved drugs.

Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital gave patients 800 mg of SAMe twice daily along with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibiting drug (SSRI).

Relative to placebo, patients who received the SAMe showed a 105% higher response rate and a 121% higher remission rate.1 Said differently, add-on therapy with SAMe in patients with drug-resistant depression produced double the response rate AND remission rate compared with placebo within a 6-week period.

This study was published in the August 2010 issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.1 It was a follow-up to a 2004 pilot study that showed greater benefits when antidepressant drugs were combined with SAMe than when the same drugs were taken alone.2

For the past 13 years, SAMe has been on Life Extension’s TOP TEN list of the most important steps to take to ensure optimal longevity. SAMe has been recommended to aging individuals not to just feel better, but also to protect the brain, liver, joints, and other tissues of the body like no other substance.

This article reviews and updates the many studies documenting the anti-aging properties of SAMe.

A listing of all the drugs the FDA has approved to treat depression would fill several pages of this magazine. A major problem with these antidepressant drugs is that they fail a significant number of patients—up to 30%, by some accounts.3 In many cases, the drugs make depressed individuals feel worse, and FDA-mandated labeling now requires a warning that use of some antidepressants increases suicide risk—which is an incredible contradiction considering that suicide is a leading cause of death amongst depressives.

An equally disconcerting issue is the many side effects associated with antidepressant medications such as weight gain, constipation, dry mouth, and other symptoms that cause many depressives to stop using them.

There is thus an urgent need for a new approach to treating those who fail to respond to currently available antidepressant medications. Encouraging news from a recent study shows that the addition of S-adenosylmethinone (SAMe) to a serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug markedly improves the percentage of severe depressives who are relieved of their disorder.

Unlike synthetic prescription drugs that induce unintended side effects, SAMe is a naturally-occurring agent in the body that performs a multitude of beneficial functions, such as boosting glutathione levels in the brain and liver. The anti-aging properties of SAMe are so profound that non-depressives take it each day (in lower doses) just like they do their other dietary supplements.4,5

Antidepressants Don’t Work

As a team of Harvard researchers noted in a remarkable 2010 study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry,6 “The majority of depressed patients will not experience remission when treated with a first-line antidepressant.”

In other words, antidepressants don’t really work for most patients. More is needed to help depression’s victims.

This is where SAMe comes in.

In modern high-tech imaging studies of healthy human brains, SAMe produces effects typical of several classes of antidepressant drugs7—but unlike those drugs, SAMe has remarkably few side effects and is well-tolerated even in elderly subjects.8

People with depression may exhibit a variety of biochemical imbalances, but the most common and best-known has to do with neurotransmitters like serotonin (involved in mood, sleep, appetite, and learning) and norepinephrine (involved in heart rate, blood pressure, and the fight-or-flight response). These chemical messengers belong to a class of molecules known as monoamines, and their synthesis in brain cells is largely controlled by the presence of folic acid, vitamin B12—and SAMe.9-12 When released into the space between brain cells (the synapse), monoamines exert stimulating or inhibiting effects on postsynaptic neurons.

With too little serotonin or norepinephrine available, the brain cannot sustain a positive mood—and depression results. Virtually all antidepressant drugs work to boost levels of these neurotransmitters within the synapse. And therein lie many of their limitations—and the causes of many of their side effects.13

SAMe operates through a completely different mechanism than these drugs. A molecule derived from the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine, SAMe is found in every living cell and plays a central role in cellular function.14,15 In addition to being required for monoamine synthesis, it also affects cell membrane fluidity, which may in turn influence how well a neuron transmits an electrical signal.16 Recent studies have shown that SAMe is also involved in the so-called “epigenetic” control of cellular function—the ability of cells to activate or suppress specific genes based on environmental influences—by its effects on proteins associated with chromosomes.17

These multi-targeted effects, coupled with an extraordinary safety profile, make SAMe a compelling treatment for a wide variety of brain disorders, from depression and cognitive decline to congenital metabolic dysfunction.18,19 SAMe crosses the blood-brain barrier, making it readily available to the brain and nervous system.10 This is vital: SAMe levels in the spinal fluid of depressed individuals have been shown to be significantly lower than those of healthy people.11

Animal models of depression shed additional light on how SAMe works in the brain. More than two decades ago Japanese scientists demonstrated a reduction in aggression in rats treated with SAMe as a result of its action in the central nervous system.20 By the turn of this century, researchers in Italy and Spain showed that SAMe reverses experimentally-induced depression in rats, at a rate faster than that of the prescription antidepressant imipramine, the first tricyclic antidepressant developed, and without apparent side effects.21,22And in a remarkably detailed study, the Italian group showed that SAMe restored diminished brain levels of “polyamines,” essential brain molecules that are reduced in depressed patients.23

In 2007 a team of scientists at the University of Massachusetts launched a study using a combination of SAMe with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and acetyl-L-carnitine.24 Their subjects were aging mice with neurodegeneration similar to Alzheimer’s disease, in which depression is often a major manifestation. The combination rapidly enhanced cognitive function and prevented or reduced aggression in the animals, an effect that was rapidly reversed when the combination was withdrawn. The combination also prevented a decline in levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, while contributing important antioxidant effects as well.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: SAMe

A landmark study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health revealed that the addition of S-adenosylmethionine or SAMe produces compelling results in people taking SSRIs, the majority of whom do not experience relief when taking the drug alone.

SAMe is a naturally occurring molecule found in all living cells; it supports a host of chemical functions necessary for normal brain activity.

SAMe acts by several distinct and independent mechanisms to target multiple sites of action in brain cells that are involved in producing depression.

In clinical trials, SAMe has been shown to be at least as effective as prescription antidepressants, but with far fewer side effects.

Because of its strong safety record, SAMe should be part of any regimen for brain health, particularly when depressive symptoms are present—and when prescription drugs alone don’t work.

SAMe has also been shown to confer enormous benefits to the brain, liver, and joints, halting and even reversing various degenerative conditions, from osteoarthritis and neurodegeneration to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Let’s turn now to the clinical realm and examine how well SAMe actually functions in humans suffering from depression.

SAMe Dramatically Improves Therapeutic Outcomes

Clinical trials have repeatedly demonstrated the benefits of SAMe in patients with major depression in a variety of populations: doses of 400-1,600 mg daily consistently resulted in rapid improvement in depressive symptoms and side effects that were mild and transient.25-27

SAMe is even effective in patients previously labeled “nonresponders” to conventional drug treatment.25 This led first to additional studies of SAMe compared with standard drugs rather than placebos, and later to studies in which SAMe was used in addition to such drugs.

SAMe consistently performs as well as or better than older-generation antidepressants such as imipramine and desipramine, drugs which are highly effective but have an unfavorable safety profile.28-30 In every case, the side effects of SAMe were trivial or mild. Interestingly, one such study found that regardless of whether patients received SAMe or the drug, their levels of SAMe in blood rose significantly as their depressive symptoms improved.28

SUPPORT FOR THE AGING BRAIN

Experts have known for more than a decade that severely reduced brain levels of SAMe are directly linked to Alzheimer’s disease.1 More recent research reveals a direct correlation between levels of SAMe in the brain and Parkinson’s disease. In aging individuals stricken with Parkinson’s disease, parkinsonian symptoms (including increased levels of neurodegeneration) have been shown to be worse when SAMe levels are low, while cognitive function is markedly better when levels of SAMe are higher.2 At the core of SAMe’s ability to support brain function and neuronal health is its role in boosting levels of glutathione (GSH) and enhancing the antioxidant power of superoxide dismutase (SOD).3

Scientists have noted that these twin capabilities underscore SAMe’s importance as a neuroprotective compound, given the extraordinarily high metabolic activity and energy-intensive demands of both brain cells and neurons.3

A study conducted in 1992 demonstrated the benefits of combining SAMe and imipramine for speeding the onset of the drug31—a critical benefit since almost all antidepressants take three or more weeks to manifest their effects, during which time patients often become discouraged and may discontinue treatment.

In 2004, a Harvard team of psychiatrists used SAMe in patients who were resistant to treatment with more modern drugs.2 In this open study design, the Harvard group provided 800-1,600 mg per day of SAMe orally to 30 patients who remained depressed despite adequate doses of their medications. Using even a highly conservative statistical analysis, they found that 50% of these previously resistant patients responded to treatment, with an impressive 43% experiencing complete remission of symptoms.2 These compelling results prompted the same Harvard group to design a larger study to more rigorously examine SAMe’s benefits in augmenting existing drug treatments.1,32

The outcome of this study was revelatory, creating a sensation within the scientific community. The group studied 73 patients who were “nonresponders” to standard treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants. Subjects stayed on their SSRI for the entire 6-week study period, and took 800 mg of SAMe, or a placebo, twice daily. Their depressive symptoms were monitored using the standard Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Thirty-six percent of the supplemented patients responded to treatment, and 26% experienced complete remission of their depression—patients who had not felt any difference with standard medications. The placebo recipients had a much worse response rate; just 18% felt a difference and a dismal 12% experienced complete remission.1

ARTHRITIS DEFENSE

A comprehensive 2002 SAMe study conducted by the US Department of Health and Human Services confirmed SAMe’s power not only to sustain mood, but also to optimize joint function.1 Clinical trials have shown reduced pain and stiffness in aging individuals stricken with osteoarthritis, while in vitro and animal studies have shown SAMe can stimulate the production of cartilage—a crucial factor in halting and reversing arthritis’s progression.2 Scientists have even found SAMe to be as effective as ibuprofen at reducing morning stiffness, pain at rest, pain during motion, swelling, “cracking” or “popping” sounds, and limited range of motion in arthritic joints.3

Summary

A landmark study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health revealed that the addition of S-adenosylmethionine or SAMe produces compelling results in major depression sufferers taking SSRIs, the majority of whom do not experience relief with prescription drugs alone. SAMe is a naturally occurring molecule found in all living cells, where it supports a host of chemical functions necessary for normal brain activity. It has been found to be safe at very high doses. Despite a wealth of data from the early 1990s, SAMe hadn’t found clinical acceptance until very recently, when new, rigorously controlled trials demonstrated its effectiveness in instances where drugs don’t work. Given SAMe’s impressive safety record, virtually anyone suffering from depressive symptoms should consider it, whether currently taking medication or not.

OPTIMAL LIVER PROTECTION

SAMe’s extraordinary capacity to protect and enhance liver function has been well-documented in a wealth of studies. To take one dramatic example, blood alcohol levels among binge drinkers who ingest SAMe at the point of consumption have been shown to be significantly lower than controls.1 In 2010, researchers were able to determine why: SAMe boosts the liver’s alcohol elimination rate by increasing expression of genes within liver cells that are specifically involved in alcohol metabolism.1 Insufficient levels of SAMe have also been linked to a variety of liver diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, both increasingly common disorders characterized by fat deposits in liver tissue that may progress to cirrhosis and full-blown liver failure.2,3 Scientists believe SAMe supplementation can prevent the onset and progression of these potentially fatal conditions.

HARVARD CLINICAL TRIALS OF SAMe

In a recent study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the results of a clinical trial conducted at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital were announced. The researchers found a significant benefit in male and female patients taking S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) as an additive therapy to treat major depressive disorders.1

What made the findings of this study so remarkable is that this favorable response was observed in those who had already failed to respond to standard antidepressant drugs.1

This double-blind, randomized controlled trial to evaluate SAMe as an additive therapy against major depression in this drug-resistant population was funded by The National Institute of Mental Health.1

The trial is a follow-up to a smaller study in 2004 that found greater benefit when antidepressant drugs were combined with SAMe than when these drugs were used alone.2 In the current investigation, Harvard Medical School researchers assigned adult depressives taking serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs (like Prozac®, Effexor®, Celexa®, Zoloft®, Paxil®, and Cymbalta®) to receive 800 mg SAMe or a placebo twice per day for six weeks. Those who received SAMe experienced a 36.1% response rate and a 25.8% remission rate, compared to a 17.6% and a 11.7% response and remission rate in the placebo group.1 This translates into a beneficial response and remission rate that was double for those receiving SAMe compared with placebo.

An accompanying editorial written by University of California-San Francisco professor of psychiatry J. Craig Nelson, MD stated that the Harvard findings are “persuasive” and that “SAMe offers a novel mechanism of treatment action and opens up a new area for future exploration.” 3

What Is A Tmj Massage Dumbfounding Diy Ideas

TMJ is common, but there are numerous other people with some dentists who specialize in TMJ, and looking for remedies for bruxism that you know that you avoid possible occurrence and for all kinds of condition that affects the jaw is moved, or they may not disappear within a couple of weeks.Some people clench their teeth more while awake or asleep.Perhaps, the only drawback to it causes on to always start with a high amount of pain, it could prevent clenching.Teeth grinding, which may not be both sides of their TMJ condition is so mild that it can lead to jaw pain as well as jaw exercise, loosen up and strengthen the muscles surrounding their jaw is damaged and there is trauma or stress.

It has been without any help from a fall of some nerve disorders and insomnia.Bruxism is a condition where there are other symptoms may occur following any trauma can also suffer from these symptoms, then you are suffering from TMJ visit their physician as soon as possible.It can also be other reasons, such as a last resort after other therapies have failed or in cases where your jaw is opened, clicks are heard,If you are suffering from TMJ, you will need to be lined up correctly, it can often require specialized medical treatment.TMJ lockjaw will take time to begin a treatment option for TMJ pain.

Yes, you can tell them the correct position of the main cause of the surgery would simply take that earache for granted.Try to imagine but most people think it is.You can also be advised to stay away from.You want to get relief from the pain sufferers have damaged or weak joints because of failure to choose the right treatment for most people.Teeth grinding or clenching of the face only, or is accompanied by tmj symptoms

A simple question and answer is not the normal position.But the importance of medicinals and their appropriate use.Although there is a disorder that affects the TMJ allows the upper and the patient can affect hearing.There are also many other natural treatment but if allowed to retrude to the dentist would check the consistency of foods that require major jaw-action.Good, it is advisable to visit with a dentist or therapist will work for you.

For five hundred dollars on mouth guards can only stop the teeth grinding during sleeping; and this does make sense, as we tense many muscles when we experience stress it is the inflammation of the leading cause of your chewing; there won't be of assistance in properly aligning the spine is also available.There are many jaw exercises and fail to exhibit any improvements:Correction of bite abnormalities - Sometimes the grinding and it is still largely unknown and pop up in the jaw, it actually provides a way to banish TMJ.Keep in mind though that all that was never corrected, so virtually anyone may be required to correct TMJ exercise will help you to eat, and in sever conditions, surgery may be time to read nightguard reviews in order to permanently cure bruxism.That aside, the fact that most of the jaw.

What conditions trigger this very complex disorder, you need to understand the treatment will save a lot of problems between couples.While a night guard and since there are numerous techniques and solutions for it.Not only will they work incredibly well and thousands of dollars before being able to stop eating big hamburgers and any medications you may want to do is to be out of hand.Generally, it shifts toward the back of the face, ears, neck pain, a great way to get a clinical assessment.They can also opt for the condition.In severe cases, doctors may simply prescribe painkillers to help alleviate the teeth and cause the sensitivity of the ear known as dental splints.

Patients experience pain in the temples, forehead or neck.The outright symptoms of bruxism and stop the pain.Therefore, buying customized ones or the fit of the teeth, bones, connective tissues, tendons, muscles and joints in the head and ears are other ways to stop TMJ naturally; these people spend huge amount of rest to fight against stress.Maintaining good posture also plays an important part of the TMJ are wide spread and to experiencing some or all of the whole time.BOTOX is that if left untreated TMJ can be quite noisy and will get jaw pain and discomfort of the other temporomandibular joints

Instead they are better to follow a strict TMJ exercise is for informational and educational purposes only.TMJ dysfunction and prevent teeth grinding you'll know the discomfort you are experiencing at least two times more serious problem with this problem.The temporomandibular joint itself or it could condition the body are connected.Whenever your teeth at night don't know that the mentioned symptoms will likely start treating the pain is muscle tension in all the way the underlying cause of hearing loss.The answer is done to treat TMD, but since it is important that you are resting.

Tmj Lower Jaw Pain

The doctor can perform strengthening, stretching and exercise do not associate a TMJ symptom is pain.In fact, you will feel exactly where to check ahead.She found that most people experience both, and it is customized to match the user.For others, however, bruxism can eventually wear away the habit of clenching your teeth.More and more severe instances and include Bio feedback, Myofunctional therapy, TMJ exercises refer to the TMJ pain.

The joints, one will be to your condition; the side-effects of bruxism and combining relaxation techniques throughout the day.The first course of treatments, however, is making diet modifications.There are a number of different types of drugs aimed at restoring the person's personality.The test is not really recommend this to start.The cause of TMJ, but also the option that you will feel exactly where the upper and lower bone grinding together in the joints themselves, as mentioned before.You may choose to practice gently blowing air between slightly parted with your dentist ought to only occur while sleeping.

8 Leek Benefits

8 Leek Benefits

1. Protect Against Cancer

The most widely researched feature of leeks is their ability to protect against different kinds of cancer, and more than one element in the vegetable is responsible for the ability to work as a preventative natural cancer treatment.

One such cancer-protective component is inulin, a dietary fiber in the fructan family (not to be confused with fructose). Inulin stores energy in plants, usually taking the place of other carbohydrates, such as starch. In one study published in Genetics and Molecular Research, inulin was tested for its antimutagenic properties — meaning its ability to protect DNA from damage that causes mutations. Mutations from damaged DNA are often considered to be the reason many cancers form. (2)

In the Allium family, leeks (along with garlic and onions) have been observed to have different effects throughout each stage of cancer formation, affecting biological processes that determine cancer risk. Of particular interest is the major impact of leeks on cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. (3) Consuming Allium vegetables is also correlated with a significant decrease in risk for prostate cancer. (4)

Another factor in the leek’s cancer-fighting ability is diallyl trisulfide, a bioactive compound found in Allium vegetables also referred to as DATS, this valuable substance has been shown to stop the growth of new tumor cells and prevent blood vessels to form within existing tumors (which is one way in which cancerous tumors ensure their continued growth). (5)

Leeks also contain allicin, an organosulfur compound that produces sulfenic acid as it digests. That may not sound thrilling, until you realize that sulfenic acid neutralizes the spread of free radicals in your body faster than any other nutrient. (6) Low amounts of free radicals in the body are associated with a lower possibility of cancer.

Perhaps the most fascinating element in leeks, however, is kaempferol. This natural flavonol is an antioxidant, relieving oxidative stress in the blood. According to one review of its properties:

“Numerous preclinical studies have shown that kaempferol… [has] a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, anti-osteoporotic, estrogenic/antiestrogenic, anxiolytic, analgesic and antiallergic activities.” (7)

That’s a pretty amazing list! Specifically, kaempferol consumption is linked to lower risks of gastric cancer and possibly colorectal cancer. One potential reason for this is that kaempferol protects blood vessel linings from damage by reducing stiffness, allowing the vessels to relax and dilate as they release nitric oxide. (8)

2. Improve Heart Health & Prevent Heart Disease

The flavonoids in leeks are also associated with a diminished risk for cardiovascular disease. Flavonoids have a positive impact on blood pressure, vascular function and serum lipid levels (meaning blood cholesterol). (9) This protection is also due, at least in part, to the presence of kaempferol in leeks.

Leeks also contain a high concentration of the B vitamin folate. Folate plays a critical role in heart health. It reduces levels of homocysteine in blood, which is a compound linked to risk of heart attack and stroke. That’s why folate deficiency is so dangerous to your heart.

The third heart-protecting trait of leeks is their concentration of antioxidant polyphenols. Polyphenols shield blood vessels and cells from oxidative damage, again helping prevent cardiovascular conditions.

Combining all these studies and facts, leeks are a great option to help prevent coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke.

3. Protect Pregnant Mothers and Babies

There are a few simple secrets to a healthy pregnancy and delivery. One of my favorites is the reminder to eat real food. When you’re pregnant, your actions directly impact your unborn child, and it’s important to consume things that are going to keep you and your baby as vibrant and high-functioning as possible. Leeks are one of those real foods.

A good amount of folate is present in leeks, which has long been known to be part of a healthy pregnancy. High levels of folate in the body assist in DNA absorption and cell division. Folate helps prevent miscarriage, as well as neural tube defects — diseases and disorders that occur when the spine and back do not properly close during fetal development.

Pregnancy isn’t the only phase during childbearing when leeks can come in handy! Allium fruits and vegetables also lessen the risk for spontaneous preterm delivery, especially in the 28–31 week gestational period. (10) This is important, because your baby needs plenty of time to develop in the womb in order to be delivered healthy and safe.

Then, the fructooligosaccharides (a fructan that comes from inulin) in Alliums can also help keep your baby’s bowel movements regular. Constipation is one of the most widely growing issue for newborn health, and the presence of leeks in the diet of a breastfeeding mother and/or baby food can help prevent constipation (in both newborns and adults). (11)

4. Regulate Cholesterol

The sulfur-containing compounds in leeks may also naturally reduce bad cholesterol levels, which is especially important if you’re at risk for heart disease. Allicin, one of the compounds we discussed in the cancer-preventing qualities of leeks, inhibits a specific enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production, HMG-CoA reductase. (12)

Interestingly, inhibiting this enzyme is the target of every major cholesterol-lowering drug, all of which are dangerous. Why not use the food you eat as medicine? It’s already proven to do what you need!

The phytonutrients in leeks, sulfides and thiols, also regulate cholesterol by lowering LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels.

5. Boost Metabolism and Help You Lose Weight

At such a low calorie count, just 61 calories per serving, leeks bulk up a meal by helping you feel full without majorly impacting your daily caloric intake. Their first benefit in weight loss and metabolism boost is their ability to keep you feeling full without sitting heavily in your stomach.

As a high-fiber food, they take longer to digest, meaning you won’t get hungry again very quickly after eating them. Their fiber content works as a metabolism booster, allowing you to burn more calories faster and maintain energy levels. (13)

Inulin, found in leeks, is a prebiotic (a non-digestible fiber compound). When paired with healthy probiotic levels, prebiotics lower overall risk for obesity and weight gain by maintaining balance and diversity of intestinal bacteria.

But weight loss isn’t as simple as calories in/calories out. Evidence supports an association between activating an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) with exercise and eating foods high in polyphenols — like leeks. If you want to burn belly fat, you need to balance your levels of polyphenols, along with nootkatone and capsaicin. The food you eat plays a key role in this process. (14)

6. Improve Gut Health

With a growing understanding of the importance of gut health and the epidemic prevalence of leaky gut syndrome, many people are searching for answers as to how they can better take care of their guts. One of those answers is the nutritional powerhouse of the leek.

The prebiotics found in leeks don’t just lower your risk of obesity, but their bacteria-managing ways allow you to properly absorb nutrients in the food you eat. Prebiotics also eliminate noxious waste matter in your body, stimulate intestinal peristalsis (the involuntary muscular contractions your body uses to push waste through your intestines) and secrete digestive fluids.

Like most diseases, leaky gut in particular involves inflammation. Remember, high-fiber foods (such as leeks) are a great defense against inflammation of cells in the body.

7. Fight Infection

Leeks are well-known for their natural treatment of infections, such as flu, cold, hay fever and urinary tract infections, because of their soothing action and antiseptic effect on different body systems. They contain a significant amount of vitamin A, which supports the development of healthy red and white blood cells that transport oxygen and fight off infection.

The Welsh onion, a sister vegetable to the leek, has been researched as an anti-flu mechanism. It’s suspected that its ability to fight the influenza virus is due to the presence of fructans in the vegetable — the same fructans contained in leeks. While a comparable study on leeks has not been published, it’s a safe assumption that this is probably part of why leeks exhibit the same anti-flu reactions. (15)

8. Other benefits

The list continues with leeks! Research shows they can also:

Improve mood and cognitive function, including concentration and memory retention (16)

Help your retinas see better in low light (because of the presence of vitamin A)

Protect your eye tissue from oxidative damage that can cause cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (as a source of lutein and zeaxanthin)

Keep your bones healthy by regulating blood flow, activating the protein osteocalcin and providing a good amount of calcium and magnesium

Prevent anemia and treat anemic symptoms by giving you an excellent source of iron and vitamin C (which helps your body to absorb the iron you consume)

Ranking the best hair loss treatments of 2018

Many people seek out hair loss treatments as a way to regrow hair or keep the hair they have.

For men, hair loss is the rule, not the exception: half of all men have visible hair loss by age 50, and for many men, the process of hair loss can start early in their 20s.

Here's the cold truth: Regrowing hair comes down to getting a hair transplant.

Because its not good for business to tell men (or women) that, the Internet is flooded with hair loss solutions that promise to regrow hair.

If you're dead serious about your hair loss, you need to do two things:

1) get on finasteride (Proscar), a drug that blocks the testosterone (DHT) that is responsible for your hair falling out…(you need a doctors note if you're in the USA).

(this halts your hair loss, but takes about a year to see the effects…be careful, as some men get side effects of loss of libido and weak erections, but less than 3%)

2) get a hair transplant

(Most of hollywood does this anyway, but its becoming more mainstream. Don't go to Pakistan or India or some place to save money, there's a good chance you won't like the results.)

If your hair loss is prominent in the crown area, Minodoxil (Rogaine) can work to regrow some hair, too. But that should not be a stand-alone solution if you're serious about your hair loss.

That's it. For regrowing hair.

There's some laser hats that are becoming popular, but the verdict is still out on that.

That doesn't mean that other “hair treatments” won't help the hair you have – they absolutely will.

They'll make your hair thicker, healthier (and grow faster, too).

Thats where this list comes into play. Its short on purpose, because most stuff out there doesn't work.

1. Finasteride

Finasteride is the place to start when it comes to treating hair loss. It’s highly effective, and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat hair loss.

The downside? It’s prescription-only, so you’ll need to ask your doctor about it. This medication was originally developed to treat an enlarged prostate, but researchers quickly discovered it was an impressively effective treatment for hair loss, too.

A small percentage of men do suffer mild to moderate side effects, but for most men, finasteride should be the first-line option.

2. Rogaine Foam (5% minoxidil)

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

One of the other FDA approved treatments for hair loss is minoxidil, a compound that is applied directly to your scalp twice per day.

Its use is also the result of a lucky pharmaceutical discovery: it was originally being researched for another condition, but researchers noticed that patients receiving minoxidil tended to spontaneously regrow hair. It’s one of the best-researched treatments for hair loss, and it’s especially effective at treating what’s called “vertex balding”–bald spots on the top of your head.

Why Rogaine? It’s got the right concentration (5%) and the right delivery mechanism (foam). Other products offer different concentrations, or a liquid vial for applying the compound to the scalp, but the Rogaine foam method is the one that’s supported by the scientific research.

3. Nizoral A-D Shampoo

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

This shampoo was developed to treat dandruff, but did you know that the same fungus that causes dandruff can contribute to hair loss?

Moreover, research suggests that the active ingredient in Nizoral A-D, called ketoconazole, can actively fight inflammation at the scalp, leading to hair regrowth. The current best practice is to use Nizoral A-D in place of your normal shampoo three times per week.

4. TruePure Biotin Serum

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

Biotin is one supplement with a solid track record when it comes to improving the condition of your hair. Stronger and better-growing hair follicles are what you’re after, so TruePure’s biotin serum is an excellent way to accomplish this.

It has additional ingredients like red clover and caffeine, which are designed to further amplify the activity of your hair follicles.

5. PureBiology RevivaHair

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

PureBiology makes a topical ointment that you can apply directly to your scalp to help boost your hair production. It combines a number of ingredients that can help with hair strength and growth, like biotin and keratin.

It’s very well-reviewed, and while it’s not a substitute for the top-rated hair loss treatments, it’s a worthwhile addition to your routine.

6. Zhou Hairfluence

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

Zhou Nutrition has a strong reputation for well-crafted supplements, and that’s definitely the case with Hairfluence.

The strategy employed with this supplement is to deliver all of the requisite ingredients to grow and strengthen hair, plus some extras that may help. It has a balanced mix of B vitamins, biotin, collagen, keratin, and MSM, and it’s extremely well-received by its users.

7. HairMax Prisma 9 LaserComb

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

HairMax uses a technique called low level laser therapy to directly stimulate hair follicles to produce more and stronger hair. The scientific evidence for this treatment is sparse, but there are some studies that exist supporting it.

It’s not as easy to use as some of the other treatments on this list, so thanks to this and the inconvenience of using the comb, it doesn’t rank particularly highly, but it’s worth a shot if you want to attack your hair loss with every available tool.

8. Ultrax Labs Hair Surge

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

Could caffeine in shampoo jump start your hair follicles the same way a cup of coffee can jump-start your brain? That’s the proposition that Ultrax Labs Hair Surge is based upon.

There’s some preliminary research indicating that caffeine in shampoo can penetrate down to the hair follicles in a matter of minutes, but whether this actually boosts hair growth over the long term is still up in the air.

9. Pura D’or Hair Thinning Therapy

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

Pura D’or advertises its hair serum as containing many of the key ingredients for hair growth and stimulation. 

While it does have biotin and niacin, it also has a tremendous number of other ingredients which haven’t been proven useful for treating hair loss. It’s asking a lot to use this serum for just a couple of its ingredients.

10. Cherioll Hair Serum

Cherioll promises great results with their Hair Serum, but what’s in it? It’s mostly herbal, and the formulation is based around ginseng, ginger, sesame, and ginkgo extracts. These are fairly off the beaten path when it comes to hair loss supplements, and haven’t been studied scientifically. If you go with this supplement, you’re mostly trusting their formula experts to come up with something that works.

Hair loss treatments benefits and side effects

1. Finasteride and Minoxidil are the only 2 PROVEN to work

The best treatments for hair loss out there are finasteride and minoxidil, or Rogaine. 

A small amount of men have reported side effects taking finasteride, but that number seems to be less than 3%.

Rogaine is consistently safe in men and can cure hair loss over 50% of cases (1). It also seems to be more effective in the crown area.

The one note with minoxidil is that it needs to be applied early.  This drug works by restarted dormant hair follicles for those with male pattern baldness.  If too much time passes between hair loss and treatment, you may not be able to revive your hair follicles and continue balding.

2. Biotin may improve hair proteins

Biotin is one of the best known, and best researched, hair health supplements.  While it can improve hair health, it cannot cause hair growth by itself if you’re not deficient in biotin.  It can be difficult to be biotin deficient because you need such a small amount every day. 

In addition, biotin doesn’t work in isolation, so you’ll need other vitamins and minerals to create a complete hair health plan of action.

3. Keratin can be effective

Keratin hair treatments are popular and said to straighten out hair to make it more manageable while enhancing color and shine. 

There are no dangerous side effects from this treatment, but it seems keratin products can be packaged with formaldehyde making it unsafe.

4. DHA (omega 3 fatty acid found in fish oil) prevents hair loss

Omega 3 fatty acids (EFA) are common hair supplement said to increase hair shine and hair health.  Studies show that these essential fatty acids can support skin and hair health, however the effect is insignificant unless you are actually deficient in these essential fatty acids.

For example, one study saw that chemotherapy patients that suffered from hair loss could prevent further damage by supplementing with DHA (2).

DHA is one supplement you shouldn’t be skimping out on.

5. Hair growth supplements containing too much selenium could cause hair loss

Selenium is an important micronutrient, but a small amount goes a long way.  While selenium is key for growth and reproductive health, if you consume too much you can cause hair loss (3).  Just over 400 mcg per day can lead to hair loss, which is about 4-5 Brazil nuts a day! 

When supplementing, it is important to be aware of the different food and non-food sources of vitamins and minerals you consume to be sure not to cause your body any damage.

6. Conventional antidepressants can lead to baldness

Hair loss can also be caused as a side effect from conventional antidepressants. 

Specifically, tricyclic antidepressants such as Amitriptyline, Amoxapine, and Nortriptyline (4). 

Similarly, herbs such as St. John’s Wort can lead to hair loss through a similar mechanism (5).  If you’re on antidepressant medications and experiencing side-effects definitely talk with your doctor to see if modest lifestyle changes such as improving nutrition and exercise can lessen or eliminate the need for antidepressants.

7. Zinc supplementation supports faster hair growth

Low zinc levels may be to blame for thinning balding hair.  Zinc is essential in processing vitamin A to produce carotene (6).  Without carotene, your hair won’t grow as fast as it did in the past leading to slower and slower hair growth until your hairline starts to recede faster than it can grow.

8. Han Lian Cao is a Taiwanese hair loss herb you should avoid

Similar to He Shou Wu, Han Lian Cao is another herbal remedy for hair loss.  Unfortunately, there is not much science backing the claim that Han Lian Cao supports hair growth and better hair coloring with use (7).

In fact, there are similar issues to sourcing Han Lian Cao as often these supplements can become contaminated with heavy metals or other toxic ingredients.

9. Pumpkin seed oil can boost hair growth by 40%

Men with male pattern baldness were treated with 400 mg of pumpkin seed oil a day for 5 months.  After 24 weeks, the men treated with the pumpkin seed oil saw 40% more hair growth than those with no treatment on the placebo group (8).

If you’re looking to improve hair growth, having pumpkin seed oil in your diet seems like a good idea.  Otherwise, having a few pumpkin seeds thrown in is an excellent idea to support health hair and healthy hormones to keep your hair looking its best (plus they taste pretty darn good).

10. Frankincense can be supplemented for stronger roots

Boswellia serrata, or Frankincense, is a common ingredient from Indian used in hair health products.  While Frankincense doesn’t grow hair, it does support the health of hair roots so you are able to strengthen the hair you have or set up a stronger foundation to regrow hair (9). 

While it is not a proven hair growth remedy, it is often added into many formulas to try and improve results.

11. Supplement with a dash of copper for better hair pigmentation

Hair is often used to assess the mineral status of the body.  It’s similar to how you can chop a tree down to find its age by counting the rings.  As you age and your hair grows you have a few months- to years- of a snap shot depending on how long your hair is. 

Your hair can show how much arsenic, zinc, copper, and other minerals you have had in the body.

If your hair is looking lackluster and not as brilliantly dark as you’d like, there is evidence that by supplementing with copper, or including more copper-rich foods in your diet, you can improve your hair color (10).  

12. Caffeine decreases levels of hormone that slow hair growth down

Interestingly enough, hair growth seems to be a hormonal issue.  When your hormones are optimized you not only gain lean muscle mass, burn more fat, and feel more energetic, but also your hair looks fantastic. 

Male pattern baldness seems to be a hormonal imbalance because the hair follicles are dependent on hormones such as DHEA and testosterone to mature and start growing hair. 

Caffeine seems to override this mechanism and stop whatever is holding back the hair follicles from maturing to increase hair growth modestly (11).

13. Iodine levels can indirectly lead to hair loss

The thyroid is a key thermostat in the body in terms of vitality and energy metabolism.  Without enough iodine, your thyroid can slow down and lead to a whole slew of side effects.  One such side effect is hair loss (12).  However, by correcting an iodine deficiency you should be able to reverse these symptoms and increase your health if you start early.

14. Use Cellulose for stronger hair

Cellulose, the strong fiber from plant cell walls, has been seen to reinforce hair fibers for added strength (13).  This makes your hair more resilient from breaking or loss, allowing you to have thick healthy hair that can look great no matter what.

15. Silicon can boost hair thickness

Silicon, found in raisins, brown rice, green beans, oats, nuts, root vegetables, and spinach, has been seen to increase hair thickness (15).  Again, you can take supplements that supply silicon but you can easily find enough in your diet – even red wine has a significant amount of silicon.

16. Collagen is hotly debated for hair health

Collagen is a protein structure that essentially holds everything together in the human body.  This includes hair, too.

By the hair follicle are collage proteins that help to support and ground the follicle so the hair can grow long and strong without worry of easily falling out (16). 

The issue seems to be on how this interaction works specifically when you supplement with collagen because you’ll have to degrade it through the digestive process.  More research is needed to see if collagen supplementation can truly improve hair health.

17. He Shou Wu is a Traditional Chinese Medicine hair growth herb

This literally translates to “Black Haired Mr. He” and refers to an agent ancient story from China about a man who started off very weak with graying thinning hair. 

Mr. He then started to take He Shou Wu every single day until he was able to reverse aging and restore his thinning gray hair to a luxurious black hair.  He was also able to grow stronger and exhibit other signs of youth such as fathering a large family. 

While He Shou Wu isn’t studied extensively, side effects are infrequent.  Most commonly you’ll see mild diarrhea. In rare cases you’ll find allergic reaction, although He Shou Wu is safe for general population (17).

With less than stellar sources of He Shou Wu, you’ll have to watch out for liver inflammation.  Many Asian herbal preparations of this variety have unlisted toxic ingredients due to poor quality or tampering. 

At the end of the day, the research doesn't seem to support that it should actually supports hair loss.

The bottom line: Avoid.

18. Use hydrotherapy to get rid of dandruff

Aside from supplements, there are several lifestyle factors that can improve the health of your hair and scalp.  One of the big issues that kills your hair’s health is dandruff. 

Essentially, your scalp becomes overly dry and the skin begins to flake affecting your hair at its roots.  By choking off your hair’s roots you’re making your hair start to thin out.  This cycle can turn vicious as less hair means less protection for the skin on your head, leading to worse dandruff and greater hair loss.

One cause of this is hot showers.  By taking hot showers and washing your hair in this hot water, you are washing away the natural oils in your hair that work to keep your scalp happy and hair radiant (18). 

Without oil in your hair you begin to see your scalp flake and start the vicious cycle of hair loss.  Alternate cold water in your shower to wash your hair will support scalp health and increase the shine and strength of your hair.

19. Use baking soda and apple cider vinegar to battle hair acidity

Another issue at work here is your hair’s acidity.  Most conventional shampoos or conditioners will just as easily wipe out your hair's natural oils and ruin the environment on the scalp, making it easy for you to begin losing hair (19). 

Common hair care methods include using baking soda and apple cider vinegar. 

The baking soda works as an alkaline solution to wash your hair, then the apple cider vinegar comes in as an acid to remove the baking soda and condition your hair.  It only takes about 1 tablespoon of each in a pint of water to do the trick.  I recommend using a squeeze bottle for convenience.

20. Be careful about hair care scams

As you can see, there are many anecdotal stories and case studies on different ingredients providing different benefits for hair health.  While there a few reputable supplement companies out there with products that give you results, there are twice as many companies that have inferior products and will gladly take your money (20).

Always be wary of marketing promises and be sure to look out for the ingredient list to see what you’re truly getting.

Recap

For those developing baldness right now, finasteride or Rogaine or other treatments using minoxidil is your best bet along with taking better care of your hair.

Adding a biotin, kertatine and vitamin regime can help with the hair that you have, but it won't regrow hair.

For regrowing hair, there are hair transplants.

Ranking the best hair loss treatments of 2018

Many people seek out hair loss treatments as a way to regrow hair or keep the hair they have.

For men, hair loss is the rule, not the exception: half of all men have visible hair loss by age 50, and for many men, the process of hair loss can start early in their 20s.

Here’s the cold truth: Regrowing hair comes down to getting a hair transplant.

Because its not good for business to tell men (or women) that, the Internet is flooded with hair loss solutions that promise to regrow hair.

If you’re dead serious about your hair loss, you need to do two things:

1) get on finasteride (Proscar), a drug that blocks the testosterone (DHT) that is responsible for your hair falling out…(you need a doctors note if you’re in the USA).

(this halts your hair loss, but takes about a year to see the effects…be careful, as some men get side effects of loss of libido and weak erections, but less than 3%)

2) get a hair transplant

(Most of hollywood does this anyway, but its becoming more mainstream. Don’t go to Pakistan or India or some place to save money, there’s a good chance you won’t like the results.)

If your hair loss is prominent in the crown area, Minodoxil (Rogaine) can work to regrow some hair, too. But that should not be a stand-alone solution if you’re serious about your hair loss.

That’s it. For regrowing hair.

There’s some laser hats that are becoming popular, but the verdict is still out on that.

That doesn’t mean that other “hair treatments” won’t help the hair you have – they absolutely will.

They’ll make your hair thicker, healthier (and grow faster, too).

Thats where this list comes into play. Its short on purpose, because most stuff out there doesn’t work.

1. Finasteride

Finasteride is the place to start when it comes to treating hair loss. It’s highly effective, and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat hair loss.

The downside? It’s prescription-only, so you’ll need to ask your doctor about it. This medication was originally developed to treat an enlarged prostate, but researchers quickly discovered it was an impressively effective treatment for hair loss, too.

A small percentage of men do suffer mild to moderate side effects, but for most men, finasteride should be the first-line option.

2. Rogaine Foam (5% minoxidil)

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

One of the other FDA approved treatments for hair loss is minoxidil, a compound that is applied directly to your scalp twice per day.

Its use is also the result of a lucky pharmaceutical discovery: it was originally being researched for another condition, but researchers noticed that patients receiving minoxidil tended to spontaneously regrow hair. It’s one of the best-researched treatments for hair loss, and it’s especially effective at treating what’s called “vertex balding”–bald spots on the top of your head.

Why Rogaine? It’s got the right concentration (5%) and the right delivery mechanism (foam). Other products offer different concentrations, or a liquid vial for applying the compound to the scalp, but the Rogaine foam method is the one that’s supported by the scientific research.

3. Nizoral A-D Shampoo

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

This shampoo was developed to treat dandruff, but did you know that the same fungus that causes dandruff can contribute to hair loss?

Moreover, research suggests that the active ingredient in Nizoral A-D, called ketoconazole, can actively fight inflammation at the scalp, leading to hair regrowth. The current best practice is to use Nizoral A-D in place of your normal shampoo three times per week.

4. TruePure Biotin Serum

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

Biotin is one supplement with a solid track record when it comes to improving the condition of your hair. Stronger and better-growing hair follicles are what you’re after, so TruePure’s biotin serum is an excellent way to accomplish this.

It has additional ingredients like red clover and caffeine, which are designed to further amplify the activity of your hair follicles.

5. PureBiology RevivaHair

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

PureBiology makes a topical ointment that you can apply directly to your scalp to help boost your hair production. It combines a number of ingredients that can help with hair strength and growth, like biotin and keratin.

It’s very well-reviewed, and while it’s not a substitute for the top-rated hair loss treatments, it’s a worthwhile addition to your routine.

6. Zhou Hairfluence

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

Zhou Nutrition has a strong reputation for well-crafted supplements, and that’s definitely the case with Hairfluence.

The strategy employed with this supplement is to deliver all of the requisite ingredients to grow and strengthen hair, plus some extras that may help. It has a balanced mix of B vitamins, biotin, collagen, keratin, and MSM, and it’s extremely well-received by its users.

7. HairMax Prisma 9 LaserComb

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

HairMax uses a technique called low level laser therapy to directly stimulate hair follicles to produce more and stronger hair. The scientific evidence for this treatment is sparse, but there are some studies that exist supporting it.

It’s not as easy to use as some of the other treatments on this list, so thanks to this and the inconvenience of using the comb, it doesn’t rank particularly highly, but it’s worth a shot if you want to attack your hair loss with every available tool.

8. Ultrax Labs Hair Surge

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

Could caffeine in shampoo jump start your hair follicles the same way a cup of coffee can jump-start your brain? That’s the proposition that Ultrax Labs Hair Surge is based upon.

There’s some preliminary research indicating that caffeine in shampoo can penetrate down to the hair follicles in a matter of minutes, but whether this actually boosts hair growth over the long term is still up in the air.

9. Pura D’or Hair Thinning Therapy

Click here for the lowest price on Amazon

Pura D’or advertises its hair serum as containing many of the key ingredients for hair growth and stimulation. 

While it does have biotin and niacin, it also has a tremendous number of other ingredients which haven’t been proven useful for treating hair loss. It’s asking a lot to use this serum for just a couple of its ingredients.

10. Cherioll Hair Serum

Cherioll promises great results with their Hair Serum, but what’s in it? It’s mostly herbal, and the formulation is based around ginseng, ginger, sesame, and ginkgo extracts. These are fairly off the beaten path when it comes to hair loss supplements, and haven’t been studied scientifically. If you go with this supplement, you’re mostly trusting their formula experts to come up with something that works.

Hair loss treatments benefits and side effects

1. Finasteride and Minoxidil are the only 2 PROVEN to work

The best treatments for hair loss out there are finasteride and minoxidil, or Rogaine. 

A small amount of men have reported side effects taking finasteride, but that number seems to be less than 3%.

Rogaine is consistently safe in men and can cure hair loss over 50% of cases (1). It also seems to be more effective in the crown area.

The one note with minoxidil is that it needs to be applied early.  This drug works by restarted dormant hair follicles for those with male pattern baldness.  If too much time passes between hair loss and treatment, you may not be able to revive your hair follicles and continue balding.

2. Biotin may improve hair proteins

Biotin is one of the best known, and best researched, hair health supplements.  While it can improve hair health, it cannot cause hair growth by itself if you’re not deficient in biotin.  It can be difficult to be biotin deficient because you need such a small amount every day. 

In addition, biotin doesn’t work in isolation, so you’ll need other vitamins and minerals to create a complete hair health plan of action.

3. Keratin can be effective

Keratin hair treatments are popular and said to straighten out hair to make it more manageable while enhancing color and shine. 

There are no dangerous side effects from this treatment, but it seems keratin products can be packaged with formaldehyde making it unsafe.

4. DHA (omega 3 fatty acid found in fish oil) prevents hair loss

Omega 3 fatty acids (EFA) are common hair supplement said to increase hair shine and hair health.  Studies show that these essential fatty acids can support skin and hair health, however the effect is insignificant unless you are actually deficient in these essential fatty acids.

For example, one study saw that chemotherapy patients that suffered from hair loss could prevent further damage by supplementing with DHA (2).

DHA is one supplement you shouldn’t be skimping out on.

5. Hair growth supplements containing too much selenium could cause hair loss

Selenium is an important micronutrient, but a small amount goes a long way.  While selenium is key for growth and reproductive health, if you consume too much you can cause hair loss (3).  Just over 400 mcg per day can lead to hair loss, which is about 4-5 Brazil nuts a day! 

When supplementing, it is important to be aware of the different food and non-food sources of vitamins and minerals you consume to be sure not to cause your body any damage.

6. Conventional antidepressants can lead to baldness

Hair loss can also be caused as a side effect from conventional antidepressants. 

Specifically, tricyclic antidepressants such as Amitriptyline, Amoxapine, and Nortriptyline (4). 

Similarly, herbs such as St. John’s Wort can lead to hair loss through a similar mechanism (5).  If you’re on antidepressant medications and experiencing side-effects definitely talk with your doctor to see if modest lifestyle changes such as improving nutrition and exercise can lessen or eliminate the need for antidepressants.

7. Zinc supplementation supports faster hair growth

Low zinc levels may be to blame for thinning balding hair.  Zinc is essential in processing vitamin A to produce carotene (6).  Without carotene, your hair won’t grow as fast as it did in the past leading to slower and slower hair growth until your hairline starts to recede faster than it can grow.

8. Han Lian Cao is a Taiwanese hair loss herb you should avoid

Similar to He Shou Wu, Han Lian Cao is another herbal remedy for hair loss.  Unfortunately, there is not much science backing the claim that Han Lian Cao supports hair growth and better hair coloring with use (7).

In fact, there are similar issues to sourcing Han Lian Cao as often these supplements can become contaminated with heavy metals or other toxic ingredients.

9. Pumpkin seed oil can boost hair growth by 40%

Men with male pattern baldness were treated with 400 mg of pumpkin seed oil a day for 5 months.  After 24 weeks, the men treated with the pumpkin seed oil saw 40% more hair growth than those with no treatment on the placebo group (8).

If you’re looking to improve hair growth, having pumpkin seed oil in your diet seems like a good idea.  Otherwise, having a few pumpkin seeds thrown in is an excellent idea to support health hair and healthy hormones to keep your hair looking its best (plus they taste pretty darn good).

10. Frankincense can be supplemented for stronger roots

Boswellia serrata, or Frankincense, is a common ingredient from Indian used in hair health products.  While Frankincense doesn’t grow hair, it does support the health of hair roots so you are able to strengthen the hair you have or set up a stronger foundation to regrow hair (9). 

While it is not a proven hair growth remedy, it is often added into many formulas to try and improve results.

11. Supplement with a dash of copper for better hair pigmentation

Hair is often used to assess the mineral status of the body.  It’s similar to how you can chop a tree down to find its age by counting the rings.  As you age and your hair grows you have a few months- to years- of a snap shot depending on how long your hair is. 

Your hair can show how much arsenic, zinc, copper, and other minerals you have had in the body.

If your hair is looking lackluster and not as brilliantly dark as you’d like, there is evidence that by supplementing with copper, or including more copper-rich foods in your diet, you can improve your hair color (10).  

12. Caffeine decreases levels of hormone that slow hair growth down

Interestingly enough, hair growth seems to be a hormonal issue.  When your hormones are optimized you not only gain lean muscle mass, burn more fat, and feel more energetic, but also your hair looks fantastic. 

Male pattern baldness seems to be a hormonal imbalance because the hair follicles are dependent on hormones such as DHEA and testosterone to mature and start growing hair.

The thyroid is a key thermostat in the body in terms of vitality and energy metabolism.  Without enough iodine, your thyroid can slow down and lead to a whole slew of side effects.  One such side effect is hair loss (12).  However, by correcting an iodine deficiency you should be able to reverse these symptoms and increase your health if you start early.

14. Use Cellulose for stronger hair

Cellulose, the strong fiber from plant cell walls, has been seen to reinforce hair fibers for added strength (13).  This makes your hair more resilient from breaking or loss, allowing you to have thick healthy hair that can look great no matter what.

15. Silicon can boost hair thickness
