A nutritional supplement can be used as a stand-alone treatment against hair loss and as an addition to a treatment with shampoo, lotion and laser therapy. With a nutritional supplement especially formulated for hair growth, you are giving your body everything it needs to allow the hair to grow healthily from the inside out.
In order for the hair to grow well, it needs sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, preventing the conversion of Testosteron to Di-hydrotestosterone (DHT) is of great importance. Recent studies have shown that isoflavones (phytoestrogens) and amino acids also play an important role in hair growth.
The Foligain hair growth caplets and Neofollics tablets were both especially developed to stimulate hair growth and healthy hair from the inside out. They are high quality supplements with many proven effective ingredients. Foligain hair growth caplets were developed by Anagen Research, Neofollics Tablets were developed by Neofollics Hair Technology.

Plant extracts
DHT inhibitors
The most well-known plant extract of which has been proven to inhibit DHT in numerous scientific studies is Saw Palmetto. The reason Saw Palmetto works is mostly due to the active ingredient Beta-sitosterol. Whereby Foligain contains a little bit more Saw Palmetto and less Beta-sitosterol, Neofollics contains a higher dosage of Beta-sitosterol. Additionally, both supplement contain Nettle leaf extract, but Foligain contains more of it.
In addition, the Neofollics Tablets contain another three extracts that inhibit the formation of DHT: Red clover extract, EGCG and isoflavones complex. These plant extracts not only inhibit the formation of DHT, but at the same time they stimulate the hair growth in other ways. The polyphenol EGCG is also a powerful antioxidant. Isoflavones restore the hormonal balance, which is important for woman during and after the menopause. Red clover contains a high concentration of isoflavones.
Other plant extracts
Foligain hair growth capsules contains three extra plant extracts: American Gingseng Root Extract, Jaborandi leaves and Ginkgo Biloba. Studies on the effectiveness of these ingredients on hair growth are mostly focused on topical used (with a lotion or shampoo).
Amino acids
Amino acids stimulate the hair growth by improving the transport of nutrients to the hair root and by increasing energy production. Both supplements contain the amino acid Taurine. Recent research has shown that there are another 2 amino acids with an effect on hair growth: L-carnitine and L-cysteine. The Neofollics Tablets contain these amino acids.
Vitamins and minerals
An important factor in poor hair condition or hair loss is a deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. Foligain hair growth caplets and Neofollics Tablets both contain many vitamins and minerals. The Neofollics Tablets contain Selenium. Selenium has, just like Zinc, the approved health claim in that it helps to keep the hair healthy. Furthermore, there is a difference between the vitamins of the B-group. Both supplements contain B3, B5, Biotin and Folic acid. Additionally, Foligain contains vitamin B6, Neofollics contains B12 and B2.
