Hair loss is not only a cosmetic problem. Alopecia causes the strongest complexes, especially in young women. Even when the depletion of hair is invisible to others - this fact gives a lot of experience, and intense baldness does cause panic.
Causes of the problem
Hair follicles in both sexes respond equally to adverse factors, so the causes of hair loss are not divided into male and female. This is what can cause baldness.
- Hormonal changes. Often this problem occurs in adolescents, with age in men, in women after discontinuation of oral contraceptives, during pregnancy, after childbirth and with the onset menopause.
- Nutrition. Lack of nutrients quickly affects the state of hair. Long and mono-diets are especially dangerous.
- Anemia. Lack of oxygen weakens all body tissues and hair is no exception. There are many causes of anemia: from colds to oncology. Therefore, if it is found, be sure to look for the source of this condition.
- Side effects of drugs. Some drugs are quite toxic, for example, drugs used in the treatment of oncology.
- Diseases of the internal organs. Improper functioning of the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, heart, inevitably leads to a change in metabolic processes, which can lead to weakening of the follicles, brittle hair, and dandruff.
- Endocrine disorders. Problems with the endocrine glands lead to hormonal imbalances.
- Stress. Remember the feeling of "goosebumps" with a strong emotional shock? This is a peak state when the nerve endings are compressed so that each hair “stands on end”. Constant stress, albeit to a lesser extent, also keeps the bulbs “in tension”. Hence - malnutrition of the roots, baldness.
- Avitaminosis. This condition usually lies in wait in the spring. Therefore, do not forget to take multivitamin complexes in the winter and eat varied.
- Improper care. Rare or too frequent shampooing, aggressive shampoo, hot drying and styling, hair extensions, perm, tight hairstyles, afrokos - all this destroys the hair structure, weakens the bulbs, worsens the blood supply to the scalp.
- Scalp diseases. It could be psoriasiseczema seborrhea, atopic dermatitis, and even just excessively oily hair - all this can also cause alopecia.

Hair loss can occur in different ways, depending on the factors that cause baldness.The table below describes the types of alopecia, their characteristic signs and possible causes.

Why recommend the drug
Trichologists often prescribe the use of "Pantovigar" from diffuse hair loss. The effectiveness in this case is due to the fact that the complex replenishes the deficiency of necessary substances in a weakened body and helps the follicles recover: the shaft thickens, the hair structure and nutrition of the follicles are restored, the “fluff” begins to grow, skin itching is eliminated. With focal and androgenetic alopecia "Pantovigar" can be prescribed only as an adjuvant, but the drug itself does not solve the problem of prolapse in these cases.

Performance Reviews
Last year, I had such a period in connection with my pregnancy, when problems with nails and hair touched me. Hair fell out in large numbers, and their growth stopped abruptly. The nails became very soft, and constantly layered. I tried a lot of all kinds of vitamin, something helped, something not. But no one gave such an effect as Pantovigar gave. When I first saw these vitamins in a pharmacy, at first they interested me in price, because they were an order of magnitude higher than other vitamins. Well, I decided that since the price is so much higher, then the result should be good. After the purchase, I was not upset at all, the result came very quickly. One pack of these vitamins was enough for me for a whole month. I was told that they should be taken for three months or more. My nails strengthened very quickly, but my hair stopped falling out and quickly grew somewhere in a month and a half after the start of taking the pills. I note that the result was noticed not only by me, but also by my colleagues, who often see me. Many of them have already bought this drug.

A familiar hairdresser advised me to take a course of vitamins Pantovigar. Then my hair was just scary, I was afraid to stay bald. So she complained. The price, of course, is considerable, but beauty is costly. One pack was enough for me for a month and a half. So what happened to my hair during this time? Firstly, during the first week, hair loss significantly decreased, and by the end of the course completely stopped. Secondly, I noticed a new growth of hair under the bangs and on the temples, and a "brush" of new hair was sticking out on the top of my head. Thirdly, for a month and a half, the hair of the industry is about 3 cm, this has not happened before. In addition, the nails were strengthened and the skin began to look healthier, dryness disappeared. There were no shocks. Now I drink these vitamins every 3-4 months and am very pleased.

Pantovigar caused me severe headaches. I didn’t understand right away, because not a word in the side effects. First she canceled the morning reception, the evening she left - an awful headache aroused. Then I missed the day - everything is fine, resumed - again the headaches are very pronounced. She even did an MRI of her head, consulted with a neurologist - everything is fine. I wrote to the official website of the manufacturer twice - did not answer. I had to give an expensive pantovigar to my friend. I immediately bought 5 packs so that I think the course should not be interrupted. After a month of taking, she has an allergic rash all over her body. In this preparation, megadoses vit.gr B.

I took Pantovigar for almost 5 months (I could not finish the course, as there were problems: it became bitter in my mouth, as soon as I stopped taking it all went right away). The nails became noticeably stronger, they had never been able to grow before, the hair fell out very much and Pantovigar did not help unfortunately, although the reason for the loss was not hormonal (and therefore the drug should have worked). a good undercoat appeared. So in general, I can say that Pantovigar did not cope with the main task, however, there was a small effect. I’ll take it more accurately.
