Frequently Asked Questions

I am a woman in my thirties and I am losing my hair. I already take a multivitamin with iron. Why is my hair still falling out?

My hair is falling out but my GP says that I'm not anaemic so I do not need to take iron.

My hair seems to lack shine and life. I've tried lots of different shampoos but nothing seems to work. What should I do next?

I seem to suffer with split ends no matter which conditioner I use. Help!

I am a thirty-year-old man who is rapidly going bald. I have heard about Florisene. Will it help me?

Where the cause can be identified, i.e. a recent illness or pregnancy for example, there is no need to do anything. However, if no readily identifiable problem can be found and the shedding persists then Florisene should be considered. In studies of women complaining of persistent excessive hair shedding (chronic telogen effluvium, CTE) 95% had a deficiency in one or more of the nutrients present in Florisene. Most women taking three tablets per day see a reduction in hair shedding within six months, although some require a longer period due to the extent of the prevailing deficiency.

For a significant proportion of women the amount of iron found in a multivitamin alone is insufficient to reach the required ferritin level for optimal hair growth. The unique formulation of Florisene is optimised to maximise the uptake of iron and other essential nutrients that are required for hair growth. In addition, the key amino acid L-lysine in Florisene has specific benefits of its own with regard to scalp hair metabolism. It is advisable not to take any other iron containing supplements whilst taking Florisene. A good multivitamin and mineral formulation which is purposely iron-free is BioCare Adult Multivitamins and Minerals.

It is possible that your GP tested for haemoglobin level which shows whether you are anaemic. The relevant test to see if you are low in stored iron, is the serum ferritin blood test. If you are not confident to take Florisene, then try Herbal Bliss Natural Hair Tonic plus Lamberts Maxi-Hair

While there are several causes of thinning hair a significant proportion of women have a nutritionally based problem. Although Florisene will not correct any hormonal imbalance, or deal with stress, it will correct thinning hair arising from having less hair in the active growth phase than you should. Depending on individual circumstances, it may be appropriate to take Florisene, but otherwise consider Herbal Bliss Natural Hair Tonic, Rio Health Maca for hormonal balance and general well-being, and a good multivitamin and mineral preparation such as Lamberts Gynovite Plus.

If you have noticed an increase in hair shedding it would be advisable to see your GP to have your serum ferritin checked. If it is below 70mcg/L you should take Florisene. If you are seeing more scalp it would be advisable to check your thyroid and oestrogen status to see if there is an imbalance.

If you are not confident that your serum ferritin levels are low it might be advisable not to overdose on iron supplements. Anyone suffering from Haemochromatosis should not use any form of iron supplementation as this disorder leads to unnaturally high iron levels in the blood. Check with your doctor if you are unsure, or alternatively try Herbal Bliss Natural Hair Tonic plus Lamberts Maxi-Hair

Florisene does not help improve the shine and/or 'life' in hair. We suggest washing hair regularly, rinsing in warm water and use a good quality conditioner as necessary. Avoid harsh towel drying, over chemical processing, and hot hair dryers. Also ensure you have an optimum diet, with plenty of fish, fresh vegetables, nuts and seeds. Reduce sugar and refined food. Take a good quality multivitamin and mineral supplement, plus Nutri Eskimo-3 fish oil. Also use 1-2 tablespoons of flaxoil per day (e.g. pour it over salads or steamed vegetables (Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend containing omega 3, 6 and 9 oils).  Drink at least 1.5 litres of clean water every day.

Split ends are a problem that involves loss of water from the hair fibre, together with a loss of the outer cell covering (cuticle), which is then subjected to abrasive and drying effects. You have to examine how you shampoo and dry your hair. As a guide, you should shampoo at least twice a week or daily if you live in a large city. Use warm water and two applications of shampoo (one if shampooing daily), rinse thoroughly and use a conditioner to the ends of the hair. Pat the hair dry; do not rub the hair vigorously with a towel. Try to minimise the use of heated roller, hair dryers and other heat generating processes.  Minimise exposure to the sun (e.g. cover your head in the sun or harsh weather).

Drink at least 1.5 litres of water a day and follow the dietary advice for the question above.
