Falling hair
In the past few months, my scalp has become extremely flaky and itchy and my hair has been falling out in an alarming manner. I’ve been under quite a bit of stress lately and have noticed my hair always falls out under these conditions. I am a 40-year-old female and at this rate, I won’t have any hair left. Help!
Formulated and tested by the Institute for Dermatological research in Helsinki, Nourkrin is an all-natural supplement which provides nutrients to stimulate the regrowth of hair follicles. It is, in effect, a protein compound extracted from the cartilage of deep sea fish which is then combined with trace minerals, vitamins, and organic silica.
In Sweden, 97 members of the Swedish Alopecia Association who had all unsuccessfully tried other treatments volunteered to use Nourkrin for 12 months so researchers could monitor its effects. Some 14 participants withdrew after three months claiming no benefits at all but of those that remained in the trial, 14% reported 100% regrowth of their hair and the majority reported regrowth of around 75%.
There are, as you can imagine, different types of hair loss. Alopecia areata is the term used to describe sudden hair loss from a specific part of the body (which is what has happened to you) and Nourkrin has been shown to help remedy this in the majority of patients taking it. Alopecia universalis is a rarer condition where all the body hair is lost. The Swedish researchers found that Nourkrin had no impact on patients suffering this more extreme form of alopecia.
Nourkrin costs £44.95 for 60 tablets; take two a day. The range includes a shampoo which costs £9.95 for 150ml and a scalp lotion which costs £19.95 for 150ml. Mail order from Revital (0800-252875).
