This Simple 5-Minute Daily Routine Can Boost The Hidden Hair Growth Hormone To Promote Thicker Hair Naturally

Why is it that some people start to lose their hair at an early age despite living a healthy lifestyle, while other “lucky” people can keep lush, beautiful hair their entire lives without any effort?

For a long time, many people simply attributed it to genetic differences and thought there was no way to fix it.

But doctors and scientists alike are now realising that these genetic differences in hair growth may actually all come down to one little-known hormone.

Because of a mix of genetic and environmental factors, levels of this critical hormone in the scalp can shrink by up to 70% for people dealing with hair loss and thinning hair.

Fortunately, according to a groundbreaking study from the Dermatology Online Journal, increasing levels of this hormone in the scalp can jumpstart the activity of hair follicles, and increase the length of the hair cycle.

This means your hair can grow thicker naturally, and you can reduce the amount of hair loss you experience. Your hair can recover the glow, structure, texture, and shine it had years ago without any side effects.

So how exactly is it possible to increase the production of this hidden hormone?

For a long time, no one knew how to do it.

But an innovative biotech lab in Spain recently discovered a unique type of plant peptide that could boost levels of this hair growth hormone by up to 115% in the span of 24 hours, in their in vitro study.

When a solution containing this patent-pending peptide compound was applied, it also increased the activity of hair follicles by 177% in 48 hours in vitro.

The best part? This peptide is entirely derived from a natural ingredient and is not a hormone itself.

Since it has nothing to do with typical medications and harmful hair loss solutions, it doesn’t cause any of the usual side effects of hair growth products such as irritation and acne.

In today’s article, we take a detailed look at this discovery to see if it really lives up to the hype. Did these Spanish scientists really just identify the best hair growth compound ever invented?

How hair loss can affect one’s confidence, happiness & well-being?

It’s obvious that hair loss can have devastating consequences for someone’s happiness and sense of confidence.

Whether it’s a receding hairline, thinning hair, or even patchy hair, it’s easy to become obsessed with the hair on our head. It’s impossible to ignore the hair constantly falling out in the bathroom. It’s a daily reminder that our appearance keeps getting worse and worse.

When we start losing our hair, many people around us will be quick to judge. A survey from John Hopkins Medical School found that when people see someone with hair loss, they judge and respect that person less.

Why is that? According to recent research, people assume that someone with hair loss can appear 5 or 10 years older than they really are and that they’re dealing with health conditions.

Another study found that women are 30% less likely to find a balding man attractive — and men are 80% less likely to find a woman with thinning hair attractive.

Oftentimes, it can make people less friendly to you and may even take you less seriously. When our hair falls out, it saps our self-esteem and makes us feel defeated.

Hair loss can be devastating. But if there’s one thing you need to know, it’s that it’s not your fault if you’re losing hair or if your hair is thinning.

Because the truth is, studies have shown that hair loss is highly genetic and you might be losing hair through no fault of your own.

But why exactly do some people lose hair while others don’t? Our scientific team takes a detailed look at the problem.

What is the root cause of hair loss & thinning hair?

First, it’s important to understand the real root cause of hair loss. Without truly understanding a problem, it’s impossible to find a reliable solution for it.

The average person is born with approximately 100,000 follicles that grow hair over time — and no new follicles are added after birth. This essentially means that we’re in a race against time to keep these hair follicles functional and healthy.

The common view of hair loss is that it’s “just genetic”, and that there’s not much to be done about it. But what exactly is the difference between people who lose hair and those who don’t?

Let’s start with the basics — how exactly does hair grow?

It all starts with the hair growth cycle. Our hair follicles all have a fixed number of “cycles” that they can go through. There are 3 phases to the hair loss cycle: the anagen stage (growth phase), the catagen phase (transition phase), and the telogen phase (resting phase).

Nearly 95% of all hair follicles exist in the anagen phase at any point in time. Most hair follicles can go through this cycle around 20 to 25 times — and the average hair cycle lasts anywhere from 1 to 6 years.

As you can see, hair cycles can have very different lengths depending on the individual. And this is where genes come in. You see, some people’s genes might make their hair cycles shorter, while the genes of another person could make them longer.

The difference is enormous: someone with a 1-year hair growth cycle will “exhaust” his cycles within about 25 years. Whereas someone with a 6-year hair growth cycle would have to live well past 150 years old to exhaust his cycles.

And this is where this “hair growth hormone” comes in. Studies show that people with lower levels of this key hormone in the scalp tend to have a much shorter hair growth cycle — which directly accelerates the speed at which their hair follicles stop working.

This key hormone is known as IGF-1 — and dozens of studies show that it plays a key role in modulating hair follicle activity and the length of the hair cycle.

When you stimulate IGF-1 production in the scalp, you directly increase the length of the hair growth cycle.

Think of it this way: imagine someone with unlucky genetics whose hair growth cycle lasts only a single year. Increasing IGF-1 levels in their scalp might double the length of their hair growth cycle. This means instead of losing all their hair around age 25 or 30, they might only lose it after 50.

It’s still not a miracle, but it’s a significant and perhaps life-changing difference nonetheless.

But that’s not all. IGF-1 also directly affects the “productivity” of hair follicles. Even for women for example, who usually don’t go bald, lack of IGF-1 in the scalp can directly contribute to thinning hair, one of the most common hair problems for women.

Now that we know all about the key role of IGF-1 to promote hair growth — is there anything you can do to increase IGF-1 levels in the scalp?

A biotech breakthrough to boost levels of this hair growth hormone & get thicker hair naturally

For a long time, there was no reliable way to boost IGF-1 levels in the scalp aside from medications with powerful side effects. This is why a few years ago, a team of Spanish researchers from the innovative biotech lab Vytrus set out to find a natural way to boost IGF-1 levels in the scalp.

They spent several years isolating various compounds derived from natural ingredients, testing out their effects on IGF-1 levels.

Thanks to their effort, they discovered that one peptide had the incredible ability to boost IGF-1 levels in the scalp.

They discovered this peptide while studying the hair growth properties of Curcuma Longa, a healthy compound known for its countless health benefits.

During an experiment, the scientists were able to isolate one specific peptide found in Curcuma Longa. When they measured its effects, they found that it was able to increase the levels of IGF-1 in the scalp by 115% in the span of just 24 hours. In comparison, minoxidil only increased it by 96% after 24 hours.

They called this compound Capilia Longa. To be more specific, Capilia Longa is a concentrated secretome of totipotent cells.

What this means in plain English is that it’s rich in peptides specifically designed to create a healthy environment for improved hair growth — specifically by increasing IGF-1 levels in the scalp.

But that’s not all. In other studies, it was found that Capilia Longa also increased the number of Dermal Papilla cells, a type of cell playing a key role in hair growth and hair thickness, by nearly 177% after 48 hours. This was also higher than minoxidil.

In direct studies, they made a test on a group of 40 volunteers and administered Capilia Longa with a 1% dosage once per day on the scalp. The results were impressive – with up to an 89% reduction in hair loss after 150 days and a 52% improvement in hair density after 150 days.

And as it turns out, a young startup is using this revolutionary new compound to change the lives of thousands of people all over Europe…

How a young startup is disrupting the $3.3 billion hair growth industry

At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on this powerful new compound promoting hair growth.

The biotech lab Vytrus found a good match when they met the team of the young startup Scandinavian Biolabs — a team of Danish entrepreneurs who were eager to disrupt the status quo of the hair growth industry.

They were working on creating a comprehensive routine to promote hair growth, and it seemed like a match made in heaven.

The team of Scandinavian Biolabs decided to include Capilia Longa in their routine – but they did not stop there.

Their goal was to create the ultimate solution for people to improve the appearance of their hair, promote hair thickness, and of course fight hair loss naturally. They wanted to do it in an ethical way, without misleading promises.

They hired a team of chemists and scientists to create a comprehensive hair growth routine for both men and women. Their scientific team spent countless hours digging through obscure scientific papers, looking for the best and most effective natural hair growth ingredients in the world.

After months of research, they came up with their now-famous proprietary Bio-Pilixin® formula. Bio-Pilixin® is included in a 3-step routine that takes just a few minutes per day to promote hair growth and thickness. It’s an all-in-one formula containing a shampoo, conditioner and serum specifically designed to improve the appearance of hair naturally.

The star ingredient of their formula is of course Capilia Longa, which is found in all the products of the routine in the right dosage. But each product of the formula also contains many other ingredients scientifically proven to lengthen the hair growth cycle, improve the shine and smoothness of hair, and of course increase IGF-1 levels in the scalp to fight hair loss.

The Truth About Hair Growth Industry

Since the hair restoration market is a $3.3 billion market growing at nearly 15.4% per year according to Grand View Research, it’s obviously attracting a lot of attention from new and established companies alike.

Unfortunately, since there are relatively few restrictions for the sale of hair growth products, many low-quality products have been flooding the market over the last few years.

Even worse, in some cases, many established medical solutions against hair loss have been found to produce powerful side effects.

Some hair growth products can lead to harmful symptoms. Even worse, they often contain too little of the active ingredients they market to reduce their cost and increase their profit margins, at the expense of the consumers who get tricked by their advertising.

This is why Scandinavian Biolabs’ hair growth routine was built completely differently. It contains the scientifically proven dose of each ingredient to offer the maximum hair-promoting effect. It only uses compounds derived from natural ingredients to minimise the side effects of the formula. And it does not contain any harmful parabens, aluminum, and other additives found in other formulas.

Capilia Longa’s test results

When testing the effectiveness of the key active ingredient in Scandinavian Biolabs’ routine, Capilia Longa, this is what researchers found.

In vitro:

• 115% increase in IGF-1 levels in the scalp after 24 hours VS only 91% for minoxidil after 48 hours
• 177% induction of dermal papilla cells (key cells responsible for hair growth) after 48h VS only 170% for minoxidil
• 3x increase in miRNA31 gene expression (a key gene responsible for hair growth and hair fiber formation)

In vivo (1% dosage for 40 volunteers, once per day):

• Up to 89% reduction in hair loss after 150 days
• Up to 52% increase in hair density after 150 days

Benefits of Scandinavian Biolabs’ Hair Growth Routine

Thanks to Scandinavian Biolabs, thousands of people are already experiencing the following benefits…

• Improved hair growth
• Improved hair fullness, density, and thickness
• Shinier, more lush hair
• Smoother, more pleasant hair texture
• Enhanced hair strand strength and durability
• And much, much more!

Which types of hair loss do the routines help with?

It’s important to have realistic expectations when it comes to any product — but particularly for a product related to hair growth.

The representatives of Scandinavian Biolabs have asked us to clarify that their routine is specifically made for people who deal with early-stage hair loss. If you’re already bald or going through advanced hair loss, their routine will not help you reverse hair loss.

However, if you’ve started losing hair, and if your hair is becoming thinner (typical symptoms of early-stage hair loss), their routine will help you prevent future damage and recover thicker hair naturally.

They told us that they want to emphasize that their product is not a magic solution, and does not offer instant results. It takes on average 150 days to experience the first results of the routine, and the best results are experienced with long-term usage.

It’s refreshing to encounter a company that is so serious about managing expectations instead of just trying to just sell as many units as possible of their products without any regard for user results. Many of our readers have told us that the company is extremely honest.
