According to recent studies by malehealth.co.uk, two-thirds of all men will eventually be affected by male pattern baldness. In the UK, this means that 7.4 million men are losing their hair at any one time. That's a lot of men and a lot of hair.
Whilst those with a full-head of hair may question what the big deal is, the fact of the matter is that for many balding men adapting to the change can be psychologically damaging.
Individuals deal with hair loss in different ways. Some embrace it, others go for the old-fashioned comb-over and a few even go for more drastic measures such as hair transplants. Whilst those with a full-head of hair may question what the big deal is, the fact of the matter is that for many balding men adapting to the change can be psychologically damaging. Balding has been known to relate to anxiety, depression, social phobia, and in some cases, identity change.
Alpecin is a new combination of active ingredients developed by German scientists. The main component is caffeine as it is proven to successfully combat hereditary baldness in men. Scientists at Dr. Kurt Wolff, in conjunction with dermatologists at the University of Jena, spent years researching and developing the caffeine complex.
They found that hair-loss can be prevented by the caffeine-based active ingredient complex. Free from side effects, it protects the hair roots from testosterone attack and provides the necessary energy for growth. In strict scientific tests it was proven that hair follicles responded positively when treated with the caffeine-based formula used in Alpecin.
Dr. Adolf Klenk said: “We have been researching the effects of caffeine for a number of years and are very confident that the caffeine complex can make a significant difference to men who are likely to go bald.
“Further to this, we have devised a Baldness Calculator which takes into account a number of lifestyle and hereditary elements to work out at what age a man will lose his hair.”

We're giving one reader a six month baldness prevention treatment. This will include six bottles of Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo C1 and six bottles of Alpecin Medicinal Special Vitamin Scalp And Hair Tonic equating to a total value of £100. Washing your hair daily with C1 immediately provides the hair roots with the activating caffeine ingredient, which can be detected after being left on for as little as 120 seconds. The Alpecin Tonic has a special botanical complex, which supports and normalises your scalp’s natural function and prevents skin irritation.
