What the celebrities are saying about Viviscal

Jennie speaks out on hair loss

Jennie Bond

Jennie Bond,TV presenter and Former BBC Royal Correspondent recently realised her hair was starting to thin until her research lead her to Viviscal – the original and world’s widest-selling hair supplement.

“I started noticing a bit of thinness along my parting but it was more recently when I had a fringe cut it really began to show.

“It made me feel much more self conscious about my appearance and I tried to disguise it as much as possible by sweeping my hair across the thin area. I also grew nervous of brushing my hair too vigorously.”

“I’ve always been interested in nutrition and diet and when I heard that Viviscal was drug-free and contains high levels of protein which helps boost the natural regrowth of hair it made sense to me to feed my hair from within. There’s also lots of research to back up Viviscal’s worldwide success rate compared to other hair supplements.

After three months of using Viviscal I could really see the difference. My hair looks much thicker and glossier than it was before and my family has noticed it too.”

“Experiencing hair loss was soul destroying for me.”

Cheryl Baker

Cheryl Baker (Bucks Fizz Star and TV Presenter) is among the many women who have experienced hair loss. Here she tells us how she overcame the trauma of thinning hair and now recommends the Viviscal Hair Renewal System.

“I first experienced this devastating problem after I had my twins and then again as I hit the menopause. When you start to find a lot of hair on your pillow or in the shower tray it’s terrible, absolutely soul destroying. You don’t want to be seen or face the world.

My confidence was knocked and I got paranoid that people could see why I’d done my hair differently.

“Things have moved on and improved since I first took a hair supplement and now I’m delighted to recommend the original world-renowned Viviscal Hair Renewal System now available in the UK. This marine protein provides the essential nutrients needed to support natural hair growth. I’d recommend Viviscal to anyone with hair loss.”

What the experts say about Viviscal:

Deborah McManners

Deborah McManners, Naturopath and Health Author says:

“Hair loss in women may occur at times of stress or hormonal changes and can be devastating. However the good news is that nutritional approaches can be used to support natural regrowth. The best supplement I know is Viviscal.”

Terry Calvert

Terry Calvert, Vice President of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing says:

“I have found a great new natural product in Viviscal. I now recommend this supplement to my customers to support healthy hair growth and to keep their hair in optimum health and condition.”

Vetta Thompson

Vetta Thompson, International Trichologist says:

“I have been recommending Viviscal – a truly wonderful all-natural supplement that supports the natural re-growth from temporary hair loss by nourishing hair follicles with a healthy balance of needed nutrients.”

Hair loss – a problem facing many women:

Hair loss is a concern for many women with statistics reporting that 1 in 3 women will experience the problem at some stage in their lives. It’s an emotional issue affecting feelings of femininity, and can often cause a loss of confidence and self esteem. Yet few have discussed this problem until now – or even realised that they share it with many others.

It’s distressing for any woman to realise her hair is thinning but this is a remarkably common problem. Temporary hair shedding (Telogen Effluvium) can happen due to stress or hormonal changes brought on by childbirth or the menopause, poor diet or even some hair styling treatments. While this condition is often reversible it can be devastating while it lasts. Whatever the cause, the body stops providing the hair follicle with the nutrients needed for healthy hair growth, so growth slows and individual strands become thin and wispy before ceasing to grow at all. Viviscal provides those essential nutrients needed to re-awaken dormant hair follicles, restoring hair and restoring confidence.

Marine enriched Viviscal is a 100% natural food supplement made in Finland aimed specifically at supporting natural re-growth. The key ingredient is AminoMar C™ – a rich protein compound of marine extracts blended with organic, soluble silica and fortified with vitamin C. Amino acids are the basic structural building units of proteins and are essential in the formation of the hair structure. Viviscal provides those essential nutrients to nourish your hair naturally from within.

4 stages to healthier hair

Viviscal works in 4 stages over 6 months (although most users will notice a difference after just 3 or 4 months – in line with the natural hair growth cycle).

· STAGE 1 nourishes the hair follicles.

· STAGE 2 strengthens and promotes the growth of existing hair.

· STAGE 3 promotes the growth of existing hair where it has slowed down or temporarily stopped. These hairs can be thin and wispy at first.

· STAGE 4 hair becomes stronger, healthier and more vibrant.

How to use Viviscal?

If you are experiencing thinning hair, take 2 tablets daily for a minimum of 6 months or until the desired results have been achieved (1 in the morning and 1 in the evening, taken with water after food). Thereafter, take 1-2 tablets daily as required. Viviscal tablets are easy to swallow and virtually odour free. For best results use Viviscal in conjunction with Viviscal Scalp Lotion, Viviscal Shampoo & Scalp Cleanser and Viviscal Conditioner.

FEMARELLE & Menopausal Symptoms (US research)

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

The effects of Femarelle® were assessed on a wide variety of menopause-related symptoms.

In a clinical trial, healthy post-menopausal women (n=80) were randomly allocated to receive either the standard dose (2 capsules/day) or a low dose of Femarelle®. A detailed medical history was taken from each participant upon enrollment, and this was followed by a physical examination, pelvic ultrasound, and recording of blood tests looking at the effect of Femarelle® on the different organs. Each patient completed a detailed menopausal symptoms questionnaire. The hormonal blood profile, endometrial thickness, and breast tissue in all patients were monitored. These procedures were repeated every 3 months during the 12 months of the study.

Results

Efficacy

Femarelle® achieved a significant reduction in menopausal symptoms, which was sustained throughout the 12 months of treatment.

Safety

There were no changes in the endometrial thickness or in the breast tissue. The sex hormones estradiol (E2) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) remained unchanged. Furthermore, the thyroid-stimulating hormone, the liver and kidney functions remained the same. Femarelle® did not cause endometrial bleeding and there were no reported side effects.

Conclusion

Femarelle® significantly alleviated menopausal symptoms in about 75% of the patients without affecting endometrial thickness or hormonal blood profiles. The lack of change in hormonal levels showed that the body does not recognize Femarelle® as estrogen, despite the fact that it affects estrogen receptors in designated sites.

FEMARELLE & Bone Loss (US Research)

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Out of all the phenomena associated with menopause, bone loss is one with the most serious consequences, leading to osteopenia and osteoporotic fractures.

Studies of the relationships between BMD and fractures conclude that preservation of bone mass is critical for avoidance of osteoporotic fractures.

Early prevention is widely advocated as the optimal medical solution for osteoporotic fractures. Prevention should be initiated at the age at which a woman reaches menopause. However, the lack of consensus on what treatment to provide reflects the trade offs between the known and potential benefits vs. risks of the available treatments for the long-term use, which is critical in order to provide constant support to the bone.

A new approach to treatment, in which bone can be protected without incurring risks associated with long-term use or adverse effects that induce patients to discontinue therapy, is essential for maintaining the health, quality of life, and independence of women throughout their life.

Studies have shown that Femarelle® provides a safe and effective therapy for the management of bone loss, thus providing women with a sound therapeutic option that they can rely on for better health and higher quality of life both for the short and long run.

Bamboo Fabrics

Feel it- wear it- love it. Experience the Cashmere touch

Sleepfresh

How it works?

Bamboo fabrics often refered to as “Nature’s Cashmere” are incredibly soft, smooth and comfortable with great drape and luxurious feel.

  • DRY: Incredible natural breathability, very high absorbency qualities, “wicks” away sweat and instantly evaporates, does not stick to your skin, 4 times more absorbant than Cotton.
  • FRESH: Naturally antibacterial and antifungal, Hygenic, Naturally eliminating odours.
  • COOL: Naturally cool to the touch, fibre structure means constant ventilation, rapid moisture absorbtion and evaporation.
  • COZY: Natural thermal qualities, cool when you are hot- warm when you are not.

Care:

Bamboo fabrics can be washed normally and will retain their properties over many wash cycles. Although fabric conditioners will not harm your garment they may reduce the performance of the fabric. Softeners and conditioners merely coat the fibres with chemical waxes which inhibit absorbency and breathability


Coolmax and Climarelle Bedding

Coolmax

Coolmax Logo

Coolmax™ is a high tech fabric specifically and uniquely engineered to keep users dry and comfortable.

Coolmax® fabrics are made from specially engineered polyester fibres from ADVANSA with an increased surface area. This special four-channel or six-channel fibre forms a transport system that pulls moisture away from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric. It then dries that moisture faster than other fabrics to thermoregulate the body by evaporative cooling.
Coolmax Graphic1b

Originally developed to meet the demanding needs of top class athletes, today Coolmax™ fabrics are used for many kinds of garments such as sportswear, bedding, intimate apparel, workwear, ready-to-wear – in fact, wherever there is a need for fresh, dry comfort combined with easy care advantages.
Coolmax™ is a trademark of Invista.

Climarelle

climarelle logoClimarelle™ is a fabric used in ‘fillings’ for duvets, pillows and mattress pads. The fibres actually adjust to your temperature by expanding when they get too hot (providing a cooling effect) and shrinking again as they cool down (releasing stored heat and improving the insulating qualities). As well as being a good absorber of moisture this makes Climarelle™ ideal for handling Night Sweats especially when used in conjunction with Coolmax™ or other wicking sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers?

Here’s how it works.

Balanced sleeping temperature:
Thermoregulating Climarelle™ microcapsules actively remove warmth when you are too hot and release it when necessary, providing you a balanced sleeping temperature all night long.
