Postpartum hair loss is very common and normally occurs 3 to 6 months after birth. However, it is not permanent and most women find their hair is back to normal within a year. The reason this occurs is because of the increase and decrease of hormones during and after pregnancy. Unfortunately there is no way to stop this occurring but there are many supplements that may help. Biotin (Vitamin H), Silica, Calcium and Zinc all help with hair growth and strength. Omegas, found in fish, avocados and nuts or in the dietary supplements Fish Oil and Flaxseed Oil, are also beneficial to hair growth.

This product may be beneficial as it helps maintain a healthy immune system. However, I would suggest a product such as Blackmores Skin Support tablets. This contains Zinc (a mineral which is important for the proper functioning of the immune system. It is important in healthy skin and wound healing. Low zinc levels can increase susceptibility to infection, poor wound healing and skin disorders), Betacarotene (a precursor to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin function and repair), and Echinacea and Calendula (used for their anti-inflammatory properties. Echinacea has been shown to stimulate the immune system). This product is specific to skin conditions.

Instructions for use: The Test is simple and easy to use: Collect urine in the collection cup Insert diagnostic strip Wait 10 minutes and read results Repeat test one week later The test will tell you whether you are in the menopause stage of life or non-menopausal. Results: Like the test that a doctor may use to diagnose menopause, the Promensil Menopause Test detects the level of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in the urine. Before menopause, during the monthly menstrual cycle, the pituitary gland in the brain releases FSH to stimulate the growth and maturity of ovarian follicles. With the onset of menopause, the monthly period becomes irregular and ovarian function begins to diminish. The body responds by releasing increased amounts of FSH. Elevated levels of FSH are a clear indication of the body's transition to menopause.
