Vancouver, BC-March 6, 2007-Women across North America are discovering a new way to condition their hair.
Products like Jouvence, a new all-natural health supplement, act like an "edible conditioner." Taken twice daily, Jouvence capsules moisturize and strengthen hair from within and stimulate the growth of healthier, thicker hair.
"Topical hair creams, sprays and even hot oil treatments can mask the effects of dry, brittle, or thinning hair," says Dr. Pascal Roy, the creator of Jouvence and a licensed doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. "But they only provide short-term, superficial improvements."
Patricia Larsen, a 58 year old patient, had been noticing visible thinning of her short, graying hair for years. "The thought of losing my hair really scared me, but after taking Jouvence for three months, my hair stopped falling out and it's now growing in thicker and darker."
Hair loss or thinning hair in women is far more common than many people think. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that about 40 per cent of women over age 40 have some hair loss. Thinning hair can affect women as young as 20.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, women in their forties have typically depleted about half of their "yin," or female energy, resulting in dry skin and brittle hair and nails. Dr. Roy reports that 25 per cent of his female patients come to him for help with thinning hair.
As a result, Dr. Roy began working on a "yin formula" designed to restore womenÕs internal moisture balance. The result is Jouvence, a unique, all-natural beauty supplement derived from traditional Chinese herbs. Containing 18 potent ingredients, including phytoestrogens and minerals extracted from Asian pearls, Jouvence works by nourishing the cells that provide moisture to hair, skin and nails.
"It's definitely a new approach," admits Dr. Roy. "And it can be difficult to convince women that to see real and lasting results in hair growth and texture, they need a nutritional supplement and not just a topical conditioner. But they can't argue with the results."
