Is thinning hair causing you problems? Do you find it hard to choose from the many products for hair loss that are available nowadays? Depending on your preference, you can choose from orally taken tablets to sprays, shampoos and conditioners. You may also choose from a variety of products that use different active ingredients. Amino acids, which act as vitamins, renew the hair follicles; thus, promoting healthier hair. Cystine, arginine, lysine, cystine and methionine are some amino acids that are beneficial to hair revitalization. Amino acids are common in so many products for hair thinning. They can be taken orally and may also be applied topically. A bit different from the usual vitamins and minerals, products containing thymosin originated from medicines and experiments meant to boost the immune system. It focuses on the cell growth of hair follicles. Copper peptides are also used as hair regrowth stimulants. Copper peptides, from copper which is a nutrient that also promotes growth of hair, are present in products that address hair thinning problems. These products are applied topically. Working as the active component of several brands of hair loss products, Minoxidil has been proven to control baldness and hair loss. However, it is best to consult a physician before purchasing and using any product with Minoxidil. Users have reported symptoms of rapid heartbeat, irregular heartbeat and light headedness. Also, a major problem is the itching of the scalp due to the dryness caused by the alcohol content in the products. It is also important to note that the effectiveness of Minoxidil is more on those with smaller areas of baldness and central baldness only. Also, products using Minoxidil only work for as long as they are being used. Once you stop using the product, hair thinning starts again. Of course, mother nature has her way of helping with hair loss problems too. For the ones more comfortable with herbal medicine, choose supplements that have proteins like lecithin, minerals like zinc and silica, essential fatty acids in the form of flaxseed and fish oil. Before choosing one amongst the many products for hair loss that are now available, be careful. Being hasty and unthinking may lead to even more problems that you started out with. The safest way would be to choose a product that has passed FDA testing. If you are going to order from Internet sites, aside from being FDA approved, make sure to get one that has a guarantee.
