Pil-Food is a food supplement containing a special formulation of amino acids, vitamins & essential fatty acids – all nutrients that scientific studies involving thousands of people have shown to be helpful in sustaining healthy hair growth. Strong, healthy hair needs to be fed from the inside. Every single one of the 100, 000 – 400, 000 hairs found on an average head is made up of two parts: the root, which is nourished by blood via the papilla; & the hair shaft, which is visible, & largely made up of a protein called keratin. Pil-Food capsules provide the sulphurated amino acids (including DL-Methionine & L-Cysteine) the body uses as building blocks to encourage production of keratin, & to help hair keep its strength & elasticity. Keratin needs to be manufactured by our bodies as it is not something that can be rubbed in, or applied in some way to the hair shaft.
