muira puama and hair loss
Supplemental Ingredients
Reading the ingredient list on my provillus supplement bottle, my curiosity was peaked by a certain ingredient that was contained within. Alongside the natural ingredients of Saw palmettos, Uva-ursi, nettle root, pumpkin seed, and eleuthero root; was a listing of an ingredient with a fun sounding name: muira puama. Being the sort of person who likes to know exactly what is going into my body, I decided to do more research.
Potency wood
Muira puama (ptychopetalum olacoides) is a small shrub like plant from South America that has been used as a traditional medicine by indigenous rain forest tribes of the Amazon River Basin for centuries. The name Muira Puama means “potency wood”, which makes a lot of sense since one of its main uses has been to treat sexual problems. Besides being used to encourage libido, the bark and root of this plant has many other reported properties. It has been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, ease nerve pain, to increase clarity, treat depression and also help with hair loss.
Muira Puama is best known for its stimulating properties, Taking the bark or root of the plant in proper doses has a positive stimulating effect on the body giving the user a sense of well being. Taking too much can lead to feeling of restlessness and trouble sleeping. Research has also indicated that Muira Puama plays an important role in protein synthesis and enerhy metabolism which can lead to healthier bone structure and hair expansion.
While evidence of Muira Puama as an treatment for male pattern baldness is rather weak, its postive effects on the system when it is combined with other natural ingredients makes it an important part of the Provillus supplemental regimen. It presence could help your body synthesize the vital proteins that your hair needs in order to stay healthy and firmly in place on top of your head.
Bonus side effect
If you are one of those people who are using a finasteride and minoxidil combination to help combat your male pattern baldness, muira puama could could help counteract the the problem of lowered sex drive that many men roprt having after using finasteride.
