ProGuard Hair Loss Therapy – Toronto

What Is Proguard?

Proguard is a highly developed patented formulation of nutraceutically derived agents. It was developed with the knowledge that anti-androgenic substances, with other synergistic elements have additive effects in combating Androgenic Alopecia also known as Male / Female Pattern Hair Loss.

Established by verified peer scientific research, the individual components comprising the Proguard treatment have been created only after meticulous research into a large number of agents purported to offer benefit in the battle against Male / Female Pattern Hair Loss. After discarding most of what was examined, a short list of distinguishing agents were combined to create Proguard.

Extensive Research has gone into the development of the fundamental understanding of the substances you will find in Proguard. The individual components comprising the patented formulation are as follows: SAW PALMETTO EXTRACT, PYGEUM AFRICANUM EXTRACT, URTICA DIOICA, GREEN TEA EXTRACT, ZINC and VITAMIN B6. Furthermore, clinical trial data and peer reviewed scientific journal abstracts devoted to each ingredient is included to lend further established medical reasoning behind our decision to incorporate the ingredients into Proguard’s formula.


How Does Proguard Work?

It is understood that men and women with male / female pattern hair loss have increased levels of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp. DHT contributes to a shortening of the growth phase and a thinning of the hair. Proguard lowers the levels of DHT in the scalp and serum by blocking 5 alpha-reductase, an important enzyme involved in regulating the hair follicle. Proguard contributes to the normalization of the hair growth cycle and the reversal of the hair loss process naturally and without the use of prescription drugs.

Is Gender A Factor In The Use Of Proguard?

Men and Women with pattern hair loss can benefit from the use of Proguard.

How Should I Take Proguard?

Two tablets daily, with or without food or as directed by a physician.

What Kind Of Results Should I Expect?

Since normal hair usually grows 1/2 inch to 1 inch per month, treatment with Proguard takes time. Continued use for at least 3 months is usually needed before you notice any change.

Are The Any Side Effects?

The active ingredients in Proguard are derived from naturally occurring substances, with no evidence of side effects or drug interactions.

Can I Take Proguard With Other Medicines?

Proguard should not interfere with other medicines.

What Happens If I Stop Using Proguard?

Continued use of Proguard is essential to obtain maximum benefit. If you stop using Proguard, you will likely lose any of the hair you have gained or maintained by Proguard within 12 months of stopping treatment.

What Should I Do If I Miss A Dose?

If you miss a dose, do not take an extra one. Just take the next tablet as usual.

Does Proguard Effect The Hair On The Other Parts Of Your Body?

Proguard does not effect hair on other parts of the body.
