Active ingredients for strong hair

What is in the POWER products and NutriVit Premium Kollagen – and what each active ingredient does for your hair and hair roots.

Active ingredients for strong hair – FemVital

In POWER Shampoo 2.0, POWER Lotion 2.0, POWER Caps 2.0 and NutriVit Premium Kollagen, around 40 active ingredients work together: from the outside on the scalp and hair root, from the inside as building blocks for new hair. Here you can find out what each one does for your hair – and which product it is in.

For scalp and hair root

These active ingredients are applied directly to the scalp – right where the hair is formed.

Capixyl™

Active complex of the biopeptide acetyl tetrapeptide-3 and red clover extract, developed for the hair root. The peptide supports the anchoring of the hair in the hair follicle, while the red clover extract (rich in biochanin A) targets influences that weaken the hair root. POWER Lotion 2.0 contains Capixyl™ at a concentration of 5%.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0

Caffeine

Stimulates the microcirculation of the scalp and is one of the best-studied active ingredients in care for hair loss. Caffeine penetrates the scalp via the hair follicle and acts there directly at the hair root.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0 · POWER Shampoo 2.0

Niacinamide (vitamin B3)

Strengthens the skin barrier of the scalp and supports its circulation. A healthy, well-nourished scalp is the basis for strong hair.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0 · POWER Shampoo 2.0

Panthenol (provitamin B5)

Binds moisture, soothes the scalp and forms a protective layer around the hair. The hair becomes more supple, is easier to comb and breaks less easily.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0 · POWER Shampoo 2.0

Betaine

Natural moisturiser from sugar beet. Keeps scalp and hair supple and makes the care particularly well tolerated.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0

Menthol

Provides a fresh, cooling sensation on the scalp and noticeably invigorates it.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0 · POWER Shampoo 2.0

Hydrolysed wheat protein

Small protein building blocks that attach to the hair. They give fine hair more grip and fullness and protect stressed lengths.

Contained in: POWER Shampoo 2.0

Sweet almond oil

Mild care oil that protects scalp and hair from drying out and provides shine.

Contained in: POWER Shampoo 2.0

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Antioxidant that protects scalp and hair from oxidative stress caused by environmental influences.

Contained in: POWER Shampoo 2.0

Plant extracts

Tried-and-tested plants from hair care that invigorate, balance and soothe the scalp.

Saw palmetto extract (Serenoa serrulata)

One of the best-known plant extracts for hormonal and hereditary hair loss. It is used to protect the hair root from the influence of the hormone DHT, which causes the hair follicles to shrink over time.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0

Red clover extract (Trifolium pratense)

Component of Capixyl™. Contains the isoflavone biochanin A, which, like saw palmetto extract, targets the DHT metabolism of the hair root.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0

Black cumin extract (Nigella sativa)

Rich in antioxidants. Soothes the scalp and supports a balanced environment for the hair root.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0

Sage extract (Salvia officinalis)

Clarifies and regulates the scalp – particularly pleasant for a scalp that quickly becomes oily or is irritated.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0

Centella asiatica (madecassoside, asiaticoside)

The active ingredients of tiger grass soothe the scalp and support its regeneration. This keeps the environment of the hair root in balance.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0

Clove extract (Eugenia caryophyllus)

Has an invigorating and antioxidant effect on the scalp.

Contained in: POWER Lotion 2.0

Rosemary extract (Rosmarinus officinalis)

A hair care classic: invigorates the scalp and stimulates its circulation.

Contained in: POWER Shampoo 2.0

Ginseng extract (Panax ginseng)

Vitalises the scalp and is traditionally used to strengthen the hair root.

Contained in: POWER Shampoo 2.0

Nettle extract (Urtica dioica)

Used in hair care for generations. Applied externally, nettle cares for the scalp; taken internally, it provides minerals and secondary plant compounds.

Devil's claw extract (Harpagophytum procumbens)

Soothes sensitive scalps.

Building blocks and nutrients from within

Hair is formed in the hair root – and the hair root needs protein building blocks, vitamins and trace elements. These are supplied by POWER Caps 2.0.

L-cysteine and L-methionine

Sulphur-containing amino acids and key building blocks of keratin, the protein that makes up most of the hair. The sulphur bridges of cysteine give the hair its strength.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0

L-arginine, L-serine and L-threonine

Further amino acids that occur in the keratin of the hair and serve the hair root as building material.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0

Bamboo extract and silica

Natural sources of silicon. Silicon is a trace element that occurs in hair, skin and nails and is associated with a strong hair structure.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0 · NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Biotin

Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair. Biotin is the best-known "hair vitamin" and is involved in the formation of keratin.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0 · NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Zinc

Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and has a role in the process of cell division – important for the hair root, one of the most actively dividing tissues in the body.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0 · NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Selenium

Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and helps to protect cells from oxidative stress.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0 · NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Copper

Contributes to normal hair pigmentation, i.e. to the natural colour of the hair.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0

Iron

Contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body. The hair root depends on a good supply; iron deficiency is one of the common causes of hair loss.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0

Niacin (vitamin B3)

Contributes to the maintenance of normal skin – and thus also of the scalp.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0

Vitamin B6

Contributes to normal cysteine synthesis and to normal protein metabolism – both are important for building keratin.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5)

Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, which the very active hair root requires.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0

Vitamin E

Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0 · NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Magnesium

Contributes to normal protein synthesis and has a role in the process of cell division.

Contained in: POWER Caps 2.0 · NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Collagen and hyaluronic acid

Food supplements with collagen and hyaluronic acid start at the base: the building blocks reach the scalp and the hair follicles from within via the bloodstream.

Collagen peptides (hydrolysed collagen type I)

Are broken down in the body into amino acids and short peptides and thus support the connective tissue of the scalp. A healthy, elastic scalp ensures better anchoring and nutrient supply of the hair roots. As a hydrolysate, the collagen is already broken down and is absorbed considerably better by the gut than native collagen.

Contained in: NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Marine collagen type II

Collagen from the sea complements the bovine collagen and provides further collagen peptides as building blocks for connective tissue, skin and scalp.

Contained in: NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Hyaluronic acid

Binds water and supplies the tissue with moisture from within. This supports the moisture balance of the skin and can also help the scalp to dry out less.

Contained in: NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)

Contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and helps to protect cells from oxidative stress.

Contained in: NutriVit Premium Kollagen

Good to know: Hair grows slowly, about 1 cm per month. Visible changes in hair structure or at the roots usually only appear after regular intake over at least 2 to 3 months. In NutriVit Premium Kollagen, collagen and hyaluronic acid are combined with biotin and zinc – both contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.

Shampoo, lotion and caps are matched to one another and available as the POWER 2.0 Hair Care Set. The hair check shows you which care suits you.

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
