Nisim Vs. Provillus
Hair loss affects approximately 30 percent of men and women. Alopecia is the scientific name for hair loss. Male and female pattern baldness is known as androgenetic alopecia. A man may start to lose hair in his early teens or twenties. Hair loss may progress along the hair line to the crown only, or result in complete baldness. Most women experience hair loss as thinning at the front, sides or crown. Women's hairlines rarely recede and most women will not become totally bald.

What is Nisim?
-
Nisim is an all natural, topically applied product used to promote hair growth in men and women. It is manufactured by the Canadian company, Nisim International. A 1993 study published in the Medical Post Vol. 29 pg 61 August 24, is cited on the Nisim International website stating that eight out of ten men who participated in the study had a significant response to the application of Nisim to their scalps. These men showed signs of hair growth within five months of use. Nisim comes in shampoo, conditioner and a liquid extract. According to the manufacturer, Nisim not only helps to regrow hair, but can also help to prevent hair loss. Some of the ingredients used in their products are herbs such as glycine soja, panax ginseng, castanea sativa, arnica montana, hedera helix and geranium maculatum. Inositol, pantenol and biotin are vitamin B complexes found in Nisim. The amino acids cystine, cysteine and methionine are also ingredients in Nisim. According to the manufacturer, this blend of ingredients promotes circulation, scalp health and the growth of new hair.

What is Provillius?

Provillius for Men comes in a two-part program. Provillius topical solution contains 5 percent Monoxidil. Monoxidil is approved by the Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) of the United States as an aid for hair re-growth. It helps to block the enzyme dihydrotestostrone (DHT) that binds to men's hair follicles and causes them to eventually stop producing new hairs. Provillius oral supplements contain the herbs saw palmetto, nettle root, pumpkin seed, Siberian genseng, uva-ursi extract and muria pauma bark extract. Provillius oral supplements also contain the B vitamins B6 and Biotin. The mineral zinc is also included in Provillius formulation. Provillius for Women is also a two-part program. The topical solution for women contains 2 percent Monoxidil. According to the makers of Provillius, the Monoxidil in the women's topical solution will stimulate hair follicles and help to regrow hair. The oral supplements differ in formulation from the men's and include the herb horsetail silica, the mineral magnesium, para-amino benzoic acid (PABA) and the B vitamins B6 and Biotin.
Use of Provillius
-
Provillius for Men and Provillius for Women are used in the same way.
