Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Men aren\u2019t the only ones who are concerned about their hair as they age. A recent survey* of female Life Extension<\/a> customers found that over half of respondents (60%) experience shedding and less volume, with a third (30%) noticing the first signs between ages 51 and 60. More than half (53%) said they would take a clinically studied supplement to support hair health. Just months after introducing NEW Hair Growth for Men, Life Extension<\/a> has launched Hair Growth for Women<\/a>, a once-daily dietary supplement that supports hair health and fullness within 2-4 months of use.\u00a0\u00a0 Hair Growth for Women<\/a> contains two clinically studied ingredients that support hair health: a wheat phytoceramide extract and standardized saw palmetto extract. In a clinical study, up to 90% of women taking the ceramide reported less shedding, faster hair growth and healthier hair, while in another clinical study, the saw palmetto extract was shown to have a positive impact on the appearance of hair thickness and maintaining dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels within normal range. DHT is a hormone that is at the root\u2014quite literally\u2014of hair follicle health.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe chose these ingredients because of their clinical data demonstrating improved hair growth and reduced shedding,\u201d explained Dr. Kristen Dominguez, PhD, a Discovery Research Scientist at Life Extension<\/a> who helped develop this formula. \u201cCeramides are well-known lipids involved in cellular development, structure and proliferation, including hair cells. They also help preserve collagen integrity, which is a building block for healthy, shiny hair.\u201d Meanwhile, Life Extension\u2019s Educational Specialist, Dr. Crystal M. Gossard, DCN, CNS, LDN<\/a>, said that healthy levels of DHT, supported by saw palmetto extract, are thought to be intrinsically linked to hair follicle integrity. \u201cMaintaining follicle health is key to healthy hair growth,\u201d Dr. Gossard said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hair Growth for Women<\/a> is the newest addition to Life Extension\u2019s growing women\u2019s health product line, which also includes bestselling Menopause Relief<\/a> and best-in-class FLORASSIST\u00ae Probiotic Women\u2019s Health<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n About Life Extension<\/b>\u00ae<\/b>\u202f<\/a>\u00a0 These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0
