1.Oral anti-shedding   

Men generally have more androgens in their bodies, and with the help of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase (5-AR), about 10% of testosterone in all adults is converted to DHT. Once DHT is flowing freely in your bloodstream, it binds to receptors on the hair follicles on your scalp, causing the follicles to shrink and unable to support healthy hair.
Therefore, the probability of male hair loss is much higher than that of women. For male hair loss, we can start from the perspectives of inhibiting DHT and regulating oil secretion.

 

Main anti-falling raw materials: saw palmetto extract, nettle root extract, pumpkin seeds extract, biotin, vitamin A, vitamin C, polygonum multiflorum extract. 

2.Lose belly fat

Mintel survey data shows that three-quarters of men are overweight in the word, and one-third of them are obese, mainly because they eat too much and exercise too little.

Most of the fat in men is stored in the abdomen. With age, the lack of male hormones can increase body fat and accumulate in the abdomen, and the effect is more obvious with age. Therefore, it is more important for men to lose belly fat in a targeted manner.

 

Main fat-reducing ingredients: black ginger extract, kudzu isoflavones, ellagic acid

3.High uric acid - a major health problem for men

The main reason why men are more prone to gout is related to differences in hormone levels between men and women. Androgens in men will enhance the reabsorption of uric acid by the kidneys, causing more uric acid to accumulate in the body, while estrogens in women will promote the elimination of uric acid by the kidneys, so men are more likely to develop high uric acid and develop gout.

 

Main uric acid lowering raw materials: celery seed extract, tart cherry extract, luteolin, quercetin
