What is Revivogen Scalp Therapy Treatment Serum?

Revivogen topical scalp therapy is a liquid-based product that is applied directly to the scalp. Its ingredients stop DHT from binding to the hair follicles and allow the hairs to grow normally. The product must be applied daily and combed through one's hair.

Revivogen Scalp Therapy Treatment Serum Ingredients

A 3 Month Supply of Revivogen

SD Alcohol 40, Gamma Linolenic Acid, Alpha linolenic acid, Linoleic acid, Oliec acid, Saw palmetto extract, Azelaic acid, Zinc, Vitamin B6, Ethyl laurate, Phytol, Beta Sito-Sterol, Grape seed extract, Procyanidine Oligomers, Niacin, Tocopherol, EDTA, Purified water, purfumes

DHT typically binds to androgen receptors at the hair follicle. The topical application of gamma-linoleic acid suppresses these androgen receptors. What it does is it out competes for spaces in androgen receptors that can otherwise detect DHT. All the other linoleic acids, unfortuantely, are not active DHT blockers and are a useless inclusion. [Source 1] However, gamma linoleic acid is listed as the primary ingredient which should be so because it is the most potent 5-AR inhibitor. Revivogen also has grape seed extract which is a source of gamma-linoleic acid.

Alazeic acid, when combined with zinc sulfate, are able to block 5-alpha-reductase. This has only been proven in test tubes and may be different in actual human trials. [Source 2]

Procyandins from grape seed extracts has been shown to increase hair diameter. Proanthocyanidins are vasodilators and  increase blood, bringing blood and nutrients to follicles and allowing them to grow. [Source 3]

Zinc is an essential mineral for hair synthesis and helps prevent alopecia. [Source 2]

Vitamin B6 plays a role in amino acid metabolism (making the monomer constituents of hair), gluconeogenesis, and lipid metabolism.

Saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol, as previously discussed, have been shown to block DHT.

Niacin is a precursor to NAD+/NADP+ which plays essential metabolic roles.

Does Revivogen Scalp Therapy Treatment Serum Work!?

Revivogen's ingredients have been shown to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase from making DHT and inhibit DHT from binding to hair follicles.

Overall Rating:
/

We recommend Revivogen if you are looking for a topical hair loss product. It is a little pricey at $89 for a 3 month supply. You should combine any topical products with a with a DHT-blocking, nutrient providing supplement like Hairomega for the best results.

Revivogen is available at:

For Best Supplement, we recommend Hairomega for its array and quality of ingredients. Although this is their first entry into the industry, they have a winning formula on their hands. Its long list of ingredients have been proven to block DHT and provide your hair follicles with the nutrients it needs.

For Best Topical Solution, we recommend Revivogen for the all natural formulation ingredients which has both DHT-blockers and growth promoters.

For Best Concealer, we recommend Toppik hair augmentation fibers. This easy to use product yields instant results that gives the appearance of having a full head of hair. For just sticking with static electricity it works well.
