Hair Loss is caused by increased levels of DHT on a person's scalp.

Androgenic Alopecia (commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness) is due to the negative side effects of increased amounts of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) on genetically susceptible hair follicles on a person's scalp.

DHT binds to the Androgen Receptors on your hair follicles and this causes miniaturisation.

Procerin works to help combat the root causes of thinning hair and give your hair the best nutrients possible to help grow healthy hair. If you combine the food supplement Procerin tablets, with Saw Palmetto, VItamin B6 along with the Procerin XT Foam (contains cosmetic ingredients that help encourage hair growth) AND Procerin Shampoo to help cleanse the scalp you have the best 3-pronged approach for achieving health hair!

1. The enzyme 5 Alpha-Reductase converts the hormone Testosterone into DHT
2. DHT binds to Androgen Receptors
3. DHT causes increased levels of hair loss and gradual miniaturisation of hair follicles
4. The scalp becomes more visible as hair follicles die over time
