As we get older, both men and women experience some hair loss. It’s a normal part of aging process. Called Androgenetic Alopecia, it accounts for 95% of all hair loss. Androgentic Alopecia often runs in families and affects some people more than others. In men it is often referred to as Male Pattern Baldness. It is characterized by a receding hair line and baldness on top of head. Women, on other hand, don’t go entirely bald even if their hair loss is severe. Instead, hair loss is spread out evenly over their entire scalp.

Hormones play dominant role when talking about Androgenetic Alopecia. Simple put, both men and women produce testosterone. Testosterone can be converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) with aid of enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. DHT shrinks hair follicles causing membranes in scalp to thicken, become inelastic and restrict blood flow. This causes hair follicles to atrophy. As a result, when a hair does fall out, it is not replaced.

Needless to say, men produce more testosterone than women and experience more hair loss.

While Androgenetic Alopecia is number one reason why individuals experience hair loss, it is not only one. Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, ringworm and fungal infections can cause hair loss. Certain medications such as blood thinners, gout medication, birth control pills and too much vitamin A can cause sudden or abnormal hair loss as can following a crash diet, sudden hormonal changes, chemotherapy and radiation.

With popularity of Antiaging therapy and benefits associated with HGH at an all-time high, all-natural alternatives have risen to try to offer similar benefits at significantly less cost. It is important to acknowledge that only way to obtain pure Human Growth Hormone is from a physician (by prescription) via injection. All-natural supplements seek to stimulate more HGH production by your own pituitary gland. All-natural alternatives come in several forms. Capsules/pills, powders, and sprays.

I have examined over 25 “leading products” in capsule, spray, or tablet form within HGH field. Efficacy was examined, as well as product marketing approach, manufacturers reputation, and overall customer support and guidance. These were several areas of concentration throughout this review. We have found an unfortunate amount of “information” or “review” sites that fail to share actual valid or informative content on HGH, its importance, or role in aging process. There seems to be many sites promoting their own products under guise of certain “physician or nurse” type endorsers in an effort to claim legitimacy.
