NEW - Viviscal - From the people who brought you Nourkrin...

Hair loss and thinning hair is a concern for many with statistics reporting that more than 50% of men over fifty will experience the problem at some stage in their lives. It’s an emotional issue that can often cause a loss of confidence and self esteem.

For a man it can also be distressing to lose hair. Temporary hair shedding (Telogen Effluvium) can happen due to stress, poor diet or even some hair styling treatments. While this condition is often reversible it can be devastating while it lasts. Whatever the cause, the body stops providing the hair follicle with the nutrients needed for healthy hair growth, so growth slows and individual strands become thin and wispy before ceasing to grow at all.

Marine enriched Viviscal Man is a 100% natural food supplement made in Finland aimed specifically at providing nourishment for thinning hair. The key ingredient is AminoMar C™ – a rich protein compound of marine extracts blended with organic, soluble silica, fortified with vitamin C. The inclusion of Flax Seed, believed to reduce the DHT inhibitors, helps to keep the hair follicles healthy and full of nutrients and is thought to slow down hair thinning. Zinc, an essential mineral for healthy hair, has also been added to the Viviscal Man formula. Amino acids are the basic structural building units of proteins and are essential in the formation of the hair structure. Viviscal Man provides those essential nutrients to nourish your hair naturally from within.

4 stages to healthier hair

Viviscal Man works in 4 stages over 6 months (although most users will notice a difference after just 3 or 4 months – in line with the natural hair growth cycle).

STAGE 1 nourishes the hair follicles.

STAGE 2 strengthens and promotes the growth of existing hair.

STAGE 3 promotes the growth of existing hair where it has slowed down or temporarily stopped. These hairs can be thin and wispy at first.

STAGE 4 hair becomes stronger, healthier and more vibrant.

Viviscal Sponsors Hair Loss Awareness Month

Now in its second year, May marked Hair Loss Awareness Month in 2009 raising awareness of the issue and providing sufferers with comprehensive advice and support to manage their hair loss.

‘The Viviscal report: The Hidden Impact of Hair Loss’

In response to a lack of definitive clarity on the impact of hair loss and how common it actually is in women, Viviscal commissioned a new piece of academic research, ‘The Viviscal Report: The Hidden Impact of Hair Loss’, to reveal the true state of hair loss in the UK and the effects it has on those who suffer.”

The comprehensive study was directed by Dr Nigel Hunt, Associate Professor in Health Psychology at The University of Nottingham who says: “The report will provide invaluable information for sufferers and healthcare professionals alike…. there is a strong need for a comprehensive study of this nature and we aim to uncover some of the fundamental reasons why hair loss can have such an impact on so many lives.”

Who is Viviscal Man for?

Viviscal Maximum Strength and Regular Strength are suitable for men and women, however Viviscal Man is recommended for men specifically as these supplements are formulated with the addition of Zinc and Flax Seed which are known to support natural hair growth in men.

How to use Viviscal Man

If you are experiencing thinning hair, take 2 tablets daily for a minimum of 6 months or until the desired results have been achieved (1 in the morning and 1 in the evening, taken with water after food). Thereafter, take 1-2 tablets daily as required. Viviscal Man tablets are easy to swallow and virtually odour free. For best results use Viviscal Man in conjunction with Viviscal Scalp Lotion, Viviscal Shampoo & Scalp Cleanser and Viviscal Conditioner.

What the celebrities are saying about Viviscal Man

Pat Cash: “I didn’t always look after my hair – I do now!”

Former Wimbledon Champion and TV presenter Pat Cash has chosen Viviscal Man to keep his healthy head of hair.

“I’ve always tried to keep myself looking good. As a sportsman, my body is my greatest asset and ensuring that it stays in good condition is vital.

“Taking natural supplements as a preventative measure to protect my health is really important to me. My family has a history of thinning hair and I wanted to avoid that if I could. Over the years I’ve treated my hair abysmally. It's always in the sun, it's been bleached and is often in poor condition due to travelling. Taking Viviscal Man to help look after it, is an easy way to give it a bit of attention and make sure it grows healthily.

"My hair is part of who I am - I'm not the type of guy to throw caution to the wind and shave it all off!

Since I started taking Viviscal Man my hair is definitely more glossy and healthier-looking and it feels thicker too."

What Lee Sharpe says…

Former footballer and now TV presenter Lee Sharpe has found a way to relax about a problem that affects most young men– worrying about thinning hair. After his hairdresser mentioned slight receding at the temples, he’s found that taking a 100% natural supplement has given him the confidence to enjoy his healthy head of hair, knowing he now has the chance for it to stay that way.

“I noticed that my hair was starting to thin slightly. My brother is younger than me and he’s gutted that he’s already losing his hair - in fact he’s now had to shave it off! I panicked about whether I might be going the same way, so a few years ago I started to take a natural supplement to nourish my hair.”

“And now things have moved on and I’ve discovered the Viviscal Man Hair Nourishment System, with its impressive 30% protein content to provide the essential nutrients needed to support natural hair growth. Viviscal Man also contains Flax Seed which is believed to slow down thinning hair in men. I’d recommend Viviscal Man to anyone with thinning hair.”

What the experts say about Viviscal Man:
