Dr Robert Nettles (that’s me), the Nettle plant, and Nettles Therapy for Hair Loss

With a last name like Nettles, I guess I was always destined to discover the only guaranteed solution for hair loss. Not that “discover” accurately describes the 25 years of research and 10 years of clinical trial and error I invested to develop and then continuously evolve the solution I created, known as Stop and Regrow.

With a last name like Nettles, I guess I was always destined to discover the only guaranteed solution for hair loss. Not that “discover” accurately describes the 25 years of research and 10 years of clinical trial and error I invested to develop and then continuously evolve the solution I created, known as Stop and reGrow.


Can the Chemicals Found in Nettle Root Prevent Hair Loss?

 

For those who are not aware, the Nettle root contains a chemical which is claimed by herbalists to block the effects of DHT and therefore prevent the loss of hair from Androgenetic Alopecia (hereditary hair loss).

 

Chemical? I hear you say! Yes. In fact, most everything in nature and the world is made of Chemicals, both living and non-living matter (air, water, food, flowers, blood, hair, toothpaste/toothbrushes). There are 2,000 chemicals in our tap water, 4,000 chemicals in our blood, 11,000 chemicals in our food, 80,000 chemicals in our environment. Everything besides energy, patriotism, emotion and electricity is made of chemicals.


Are There Clinical Studies To Support Nettles Root Reducing DHT?

 

Anyway, back to the point of this article. Too much circulating DHT in our bodies causes hair loss. A biochemical imbalance within our bodies causes us to create more DHT than we need. The Nettles root has been shown in clinical trials to reduce DHT levels.

 

Whilst there have not been many studies (pharmaceutical companies tend not to be incentivized to research herbal supplements that can’t be trademarked for exclusivity and therefore large profits), there have been some which support the herbalists claim.

 

The American Botanical Council has conducted a number of clinical trials which demonstrated the combination of Nettles, Saw Palmetto and Pygeum were found to successfully treat BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy) which could therefore be extrapolated to also prevent hair loss, given both hereditary hair loss and BPH are side effects of elevated DHT levels. Nettle root is also a popular ingredient taken orally in a couple big name hair loss products such as Provillus and Procerin.

 

Basically the theory behind use of the nettle root and my own Stop and Regrow solution is that a chemical imbalance in the body leads to production of too much DHT. Balancing those chemicals back to normal levels leads to thick and healthy hair and a healthy body (including prostate).


Natural Chemicals Do Cause Side Effects

 

So why isn’t everyone using it you ask? Well despite claims that “all natural” herbal supplements are free from side effects, nettle root does in fact have its share of warnings. When applied topically, irritation of the scalp or an allergic reaction can occur. When taken orally, it can cause upset stomach, burning, difficulty with urination, bloating and edema. Nettle root extract should not be used in patients with heart or kidney problems due to fluid retention properties.

 

For those of you who wish to try it for yourselves as a hair loss treatment, despite it being my namesake, I would recommend proceeding with caution and consulting with your doctor prior to giving it a try. I would love to hear how it works for you if you do choose to try it, or if you would like to given my proven solution Stop and reGrow a try.

Are you on the lookout for effective solutions to foster hair growth and enhance your hair's general health? Your search ends here with Stop and Regrow's comprehensive guide on utilizing lysine for hair growth . Get ready to empower your journey to fuller, healthier hair. Understanding the Impact of Lysine on Hair Growth Lysine stands tall among essential amino acids that our bodies cannot generate naturally, necessitating intake through diet or supplements. This indispensable component, prominently featured in Dr. Nettles' formula, has garnered attention for fostering robust and vibrant hair growth. Let us delve deeper to understand how lysine is revolutionizing hair care: Collagen Production Collagen, fostered substantially by lysine, is pivotal in safeguarding hair’s strength and structure, thereby reducing the susceptibility to damage and breakage. Iron Absorption Lysine facilitates the optimal absorption of iron, a mineral vital for hair growth, averting hair loss linked to iron deficiency. Witness the Transformation: Lysine Hair Before and After Embarking on a hair care routine supplemented with lysine can potentially enhance the health and appearance of your hair. However, it is pivotal to note that while lysine can foster healthier hair growth, particularly if you have been deficient, it is not a direct treatment for the underlying causes of hair loss. Individuals have reported positive changes in their "lysine hair before and after" experiences, observing improvements such as: • Augmented hair thickness and volume • Enriched hair texture and luminosity • Fortified resistance against damage and breakage These transformations are an adjunct benefit of addressing the primary causes of hair loss through a comprehensive treatment strategy like that offered by Stop and Regrow, where lysine plays a supporting role in encouraging healthy regrowth after the root causes of hair loss have been identified and addressed. Incorporating Lysine in Your Hair Care Routine Wondering how to seamlessly infuse lysine in your daily routine? Here’s how: Diet Initiate by integrating lysine-rich foods such as lean meats, fish, dairy products, and legumes into your diet, nourishing your body with the requisite lysine. Supplements For a consistent lysine intake, especially if dietary sources prove insufficient, consider Dr. Nettles' holistic hair health and growth formula that accommodates lysine, facilitating an easy-to-follow hair care regimen.

This blend emerges from a profound understanding of the indispensability of lysine and methionine, both essential amino acids integral to hair composition. Lysine Apart from being a fundamental building block for proteins constituting hair, lysine accelerates new cell growth, attenuates cortisol stress reactions that can inhibit healthy hair growth, and offers anti-inflammatory benefits coupled with enhanced immune responses. Methionine Methionine not only aids hair growth but also facilitates protein synthesis from consumed food, contributing to normal cellular and DNA functions, and reducing chronic disease vulnerability. Conclusion: Embarking on a Journey to Revitalized Hair with Lysine Lysine, with its dual role in collagen production and iron absorption, emerges as a powerhouse in your hair care toolkit. Through Stop and Regrow’s meticulously crafted formula, numerous individuals have reveled in the positive ramifications of lysine, witnessing significant enhancements in hair thickness, texture, and general health.

Frequent queries like "How to Block DHT Molecules" and "Things That Block DHT" underline a widespread belief that simply blocking DHT is a magic bullet for hair loss. However, a fundamental understanding of biochemistry and physics challenges this concept, reminding us that nothing in the universe, including DHT, simply disappears or is blocked without consequences.
