Bio-Fen™ has been specifically formulated to support hair growth in men with hereditary androgenic alopecia (AGA), commonly known as male pattern baldness.

How does Bio-Fen Plus for Men work?

Specific compounds within the herbal extracts inhibit the 5AR enzyme (and therefore reducing DHT) to prevent or slow down the rate of hair loss. This process is the principle by which the prescription drug Propecia (finasteride) works. However, Bio-Fen Plus for MenR contains additional natural compounds that reduce excess cholesterol (the building blocks of testosterone), so that less DHT can be produced. Bio-Fen Plus for MenR also contains vitamins to increase blood flow to the small capillaries that feed the hair roots, to deliver the active herbal compounds and remove waste. The saw palmetto extract also inhibits the 5AR, and helps to relieve the urinary symptoms of mild to moderate BPH for men. Therefore, Bio-Fen Plus for MenR provides a natural, safer alternative to these expensive drugs, and/or expensive and painful hair transplants. As with the prescription alternatives, results vary from person to person, and no one product will work for everyone.

How long must I use Bio-Fen Plus for Men?

Bio-Fen Plus for MenR capsules are usually effective at stopping hair loss within the first two months. However, since healthy hair grows only about 1 cm each month, it may take up to three months before you notice that hair growth is increased or the rate of hair loss is decreased. Anyone experiencing new growth should see it within four months. In some people the original pigmentation may come back. Once you stop completely your hair growth pattern will slowly go back to the point where you started. However, some people may be able to go with a lower maintenance dose.

How safe is Bio-Fen Plus for Men? 

The ingredient combination in Bio-Fen Plus for Men® is generally safe for most adults. However, the following cautions are advised: Consult a health care practitioner prior to use to exclude a diagnosis of prostate cancer, or if you have diabetes. For BPH or elevated blood lipid levels, consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen. People sensitive to niacin may experience flushing of the skin that is generally mild and transient. Discontinue use if you experience hypersensitivity to flax, such as an allergy (may occur in rare cases). 

What does each Bio-Fen Plus for Men® capsule contain?

Non-medicinal Ingredients:colloidal silicon dioxide and vegetable-based magnesium stearate in a veggie-based capsule. 

Recommended dose (adult men): Take one capsule twice a day, or as directed by your health care practitioner. Take with food.

Why has the recommended dose doubled? Based on new research on the rate of metabolism of SDG in flax lignans (8-12 hours on average), the dosage in both products has been increased to twice a day for optimum results. Though the price of the products will remain the same, you will get much more value. The flax lignan extract in the original formulation was 100 mg standardized to 20% SDG x 1 capsule per day, which equaled to 20 mg/day of SDG. The new formulations have 200 mg per capsule of flax lignan extract standardized to 50% SDG x 2 caps/day equals 200 mg/day of SDG. As such, one is getting 10 times the amount of SDG per day!
