Hair falling out or thinning as you age? Here’s the hidden truth and solution you need to know!

Menopause marks a significant transition in a woman's life, and while it's often associated with symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings, there's a less talked about yet equally distressing issue that many women face: hair loss*.

It's a silent struggle that can catch women off guard and can deeply impact their self-esteem and overall well-being.



Most women in their 50s and beyond struggle with thinning hair, increased shedding, and a noticeable loss of scalp coverage*.

Unlike men, for whom hair loss is often expected and more openly discussed, women can feel blindsided by this change.

This phenomenon, often referred to as female pattern baldness*, is primarily driven by the hormonal upheaval that accompanies menopause.

The decline in oestrogen levels leads to a hormonal imbalance, allowing testosterone to have a more pronounced effect.

This results in an increase of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone that causes hair follicles to shrink, leading to hair thinning, particularly around the crown and temples.

Despite its prevalence, menopausal and post-menopausal hair loss is not normally discussed*, leaving many women feeling alone in their search for solutions.

However, there are ways to manage and potentially reverse this condition*. One of the most promising approaches is targeted nutritional support, which can address the root causes of hair loss from within*.



Aéde, a brand that has formulated supplements specifically for hair health*, offers hope for those grappling with hair loss, regardless of gender.

Their products are packed with potent ingredients designed to nourish hair, promoting growth, strength, and resilience.

For instance, Aéde's Hair Activist supplement is crafted to tackle various hair concerns*, from thinning and shedding to lacklustre strands.

With 14 active ingredients, it not only fosters robust hair growth but also boosts collagen production, enhancing the integrity of hair, skin, and nails.

The Hair Activist is available in a one-month supply for $66* and a three-month supply for $178*.

The testimonials for Hair Activist* speak volumes, with customers reporting significant hair growth, improved hair texture, and an overall life-changing experience.

‘I’m not usually one to take vitamins, but after years of thin, lanky hair, I decided to give these a go. I’ve never believed I would be a person with thick and healthy hair*. Nothing but life-changing,’ one customer said.

‘I have seen almost three inches of growth in just under seven months*! I had previously taken a Hair Vitamin from another popular brand, but Aéde was recommended by my hairdresser, and honestly, AÉDE BLEW ME AWAY*,’ another commented.

'I've been using your product for about 3 weeks now on the recommendation of both my dear friend and our hairdresser. I have to say I was a sceptic at first, but now I am a complete convert. (I’m) amazed at the results after such a short time, truly incredible*,’ a third added.



Power Activist, another supplement by Aéde*, is designed to promote hair growth, amplify thickness, and bolster scalp coverage.

This all-natural, vegan supplement addresses various triggers of hair loss, from stress and nutrient deficiencies to hormonal fluctuations and Androgenic Alopecia*.

It's formulated with a blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants* to support hair growth and a healthy stress response in the body.

Power Activist is available for $72 for a one-month supply* and $195 for a three-month supply*.



Customers raved about how Power Activist is effective for them, and men even swear by it*!

‘My hairdresser was shocked at how fast my hair started to thin recently. I looked and looked and found this supplement, and since returning to him for an appointment 8 weeks later, he too has started taking Power Activist due to how impressed he is*,’ one customer said.

‘I can’t find enough words to express my gratitude to Aéde. 12 months ago, you could see my scalp, but now I have lush, bouncy blonde hair and very thick*,’ another shared.

‘The Aéde tablets will be with me forever*. I can’t stop smiling. That is all down to Aéde. Thank you.’

Both Hair Activist and Power Activist are available at www.aede.com.au*, offering Aussies a scientifically-backed solution to a problem that's too often kept in the shadows.

Has any of our members tried this. I would love to but honestly unless some one has positive results. I really am tired of buying shampoos that promise all this new hair etc. At the same time if some one has had results from a shampoo conditioner combo please put results and name up. Many thanks in advance.

There is only one shampoo that has any effect on levels of DHT on the scalp - and that is Nizoral 1% or 2% (the latter is only on prescription, and can be a bit drying, I found). Nizoral is actually an anti-dandruff treatment but is quite effective as part of the treatment for hair loss. Vitamin and mineral supplements only work if you are particularly deficient in one specific thing such as iron. Otherwise a diet that is well-balanced and with a slightly higher protein intake is best.

Apart from that the best way forward for managing hair loss (post-menopausal or otherwise) is to see a dermatologist and ask about treatment using topical or oral Minoxidil - possibly with an anti-androgen like Spironolactone tablets. I had post-menopausal hair loss reversed taking these medications. It is a lifelong commitment, but nowhere near as expensive as the AEDE treatment described in the article above.

Thanks for letting us know of your experience Nichola, I always like to hear of first hand experiences of people who have been through this themselves. X
 
My mother-in-law had Alopecia and wore a wig .
l think we take too many tablets but perhaps l should shut up and let you folks get on with it as l don't have a problem thank goodness
Me either touch wood I never will 😊
 
Low VitD also causes hair loss. I had handfuls of hair falling out everyday. I had Breast Cancer and Radiation. My GP did a blood test and because I wasn't out getting sunshine, my Vit D had dropped to 28. Should be around 50. I've been taking Vit D capsule for 4 months each day, and the loss is now normal and my hair is thicker again.

I'd like to know if it will interfere with other prescribed medication. My hair is getting thinner but I would not like to take this without looking into it further.
A good pharmacist (chemist) would be able to advise you. Make sure you also tell them any non-prescription you are taking, including herbal ones. The Uni course they do is the same as part of a GP's course.
