Horsetail Extract

Fo-Ti
Next, Fo-Ti is another great Folexin ingredient, and one that is very popular for hair growth. As you may know, Fo-Ti is a plant that is native to China. More than that, this plant has been and is still used all over Asia for its help with reversing or slowing down aging.
What is more a symbol of aging but graying and thinning hair? Fo-Ti does help with your skin as well. In fact, Fo-Ti has the purpose of essentially revitalizing all of your systems to their optimum state. This makes it good for your overall health, immune system, and your internal organs.
Supposedly Fo-Ti is enough help for your hair to regain some of its color even after it has started to turn gray. That is in addition to the help it gives with thickening your hair. Also, it helps with both breakage and dimness, keeping your hair looking both full and shiny.
Unlike with chemical or prescription options, the results of Fo-Ti don’t go away if and when you stop taking it. So, you get to keep the results you get, which is very useful.
Fo-Ti can also help a little with menopause, which can often affect hair growth as well. This plant accomplishes this by helping your hormones, which is also useful for things like alleviating depression symptoms. Along with menopause, Fo-Ti also is thought to help with fertility, which you may or may not want.
Though great, Fo-Ti is something you can overdo. Folexin has quite enough of this plant in it, so you shouldn’t take more Fo-Ti other than what you get from this supplement. You can get Fo-Ti in a form all by itself, though, should you wish to see what effect it alone could give you.
Saw Palmetto
Though the saw palmetto in Folexin is much further down on the list of ingredients, it is still so popular and good for your hair that it had to have its own section. Where Fo-Ti is from China, saw palmetto is from America. Native Americans used this plant actually to treat coughs and other things.
That is because saw palmetto is great for your immune system. As usual, any help with that is going to be good for your hair, especially as some diseases specifically affect the scalp. Don’t forget that long illnesses can directly cause your hair to then as well.
More to the point, however, saw palmetto has more recently been proven to help neutralize DHT. Considering how widespread the knowledge is about how much DHT harms your hair, I will just refer to you another post that goes over just how much help it is to block this hormone.
Even more, this American plant also has some good anti-inflammatory properties in it. Other than DHT, inflammation is one of the top hair killers. Too much inflammation strangles your cells by blocking off nutrients to them and can be caused by a variety of things.
Saw palmetto is usually extracted from the fruit of the plant. So, technically, growing saw palmetto yourself – if you live in the right climate – is perfectly feasible. However, getting saw palmetto as a supplement, either by itself or in a mix like Folexin, is much easier.
Still, if you don’t feel Folexin has enough of this plant, you can get some good thickening shampoos that have saw palmetto in them. In fact, getting and using one of those shampoos is a particularly good idea. In that way, your hair will be getting some of this plant on the inside and the outside.
The Vitamins
Folexin has a good amount of vitamins as some of its ingredients. The first I’ll note are the B vitamins in this supplement. In fact, Folexin has five other B vitamins besides the Biotin, and each one has well over triple the amount you need to take on a daily basis.
This means Folexin essentially is its own B vitamin complex, which can do wonders for your hair. Besides helping your hair, B complexes are helpful for your health, especially helping your energy levels.
Folexin also has the full daily amount you need of vitamin D3, Vitamin C, and manganese. Just looking at these vitamins, there is a lot of goodness here. The D is probably why Folexin is supposedly good for certain types of depression.
Meanwhile, the vitamin C deserves its own article for just how much help it can give your hair. Vitamin C just does so much for your whole body that it is hard to compete with. The manganese is also extremely necessary, though not as much appreciated.
Besides giving you all of those you need, Folexin has just under the daily amount of vitamin E and iron. So many hair growth people put vitamin E oil directly into their hair, which is because of how it helps. Both these vitamins help build your hair. The E helps with shininess, and the iron is a building block.
Finally, Folexin has smaller amounts of vitamin A, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. I think Folexin could have put a little more A in it, considering how beneficial A is to your hair. But, once again, these Folexin ingredients are all great additions to the supplement. The calcium works well with the iron and the C to build up your hair, with the C helping both the others be absorbed.
The Other Plants
Though the Fo-Ti and the saw palmetto are both the most recognizable, there are a few other plants in Folexin. These are bamboo extract, nettle root, peony root, spirulina, alfalfa, and barley grass. Looking at these other plants one at a time is useful to do.
Bamboo extract, to start with, is extremely high in silica. In fact, the extract of this plant is about 70% silica. Since silica is used to give both your skin and hair elasticity, you can see why this nutrient is vital. The more elasticity your hair strands have, the less they are likely to break.
Also, silica is one of the things your follicles need to make your hair strands. Besides the silica, bamboo extract is very moisturizing as well as cleansing. The antioxidants that are in bamboo are certainly an advantage as well.
Additionally, bamboo also helps with detoxification. You can find bamboo in various forms, in shampoos, as supplements, in powder, as an extract, and more.
As for the nettle in Folexin, it is just as solid of an ingredient as the rest. There are three main functions of the nettle – more commonly known as the stinging nettle plant. These are that it enhances circulation, is rich in antioxidants, and it also blocks DHT.
That is beside the fair amount of nutrients that nettle also has. Nettle is also fairly easy to grow yourself, and it can be found in virtually any form you might want it in.
Next, the peony root seems like an oddball, with little to no documentation of how it might help your hair. However, the remaining three ingredients go back to being great once more. These three are high in nutrients, on top of the many nutrients that Folexin has besides these.
The Random Ingredients
Though all the main Folexin ingredients have already been covered, there are a few left. This is mostly the cellulose, rice flour, magnesium stearate, and the silicon dioxide that make up the capsule. Since some of the Folexin ingredients aren’t exactly known for tasting very good, the capsule is rather a necessity.
This is why, though the Folexin capsules can be taken apart and the powder inside added to your smoothie or other drink, it is really not recommended that you do so. However, if you are determined to avoid those capsule ingredients for any reason – the rice flour, for instance, won’t fit with paleo diets – then you can consider them optional.
Final Thoughts
All in all, Folexin is a supplement that is made up of various vitamins and plants. These are all nutritional ingredients that are good for you regardless of your hair goals. These Folexin ingredients also have a host of other benefits that you are likely to get with it, none of which you are likely to complain about.
These all work with each other to repair damage in your scalp and hair follicles. Folexin also provides your follicles with almost all of what they need to grow your hair, giving you a fresh start.
So, try out some Folexin and let me know how well this supplement did or didn’t work for you. Also, feel free to check out the ingredients individually to see what their effect is on your hair.
