Supporting Hair from Within
At GrowBack, we understand that female hair loss is rarely caused by a single factor.
Many women experiencing thinning hair are also dealing with hormonal fluctuations, increased oxidative stress, nutritional depletion, inflammation, reduced collagen production, sleep disruption and declining cellular function.
While personalised topical treatments target the hair follicle directly, Élevé has been developed to support the biological systems that help healthy follicles thrive.
Female hair loss support
Think of it this way:
Your personalised serum works on the follicle.
Élevé works on the environment that supports the follicle.
Together, they create a more comprehensive approach to hair restoration.
How Each Élevé Ingredient Supports Female Hair Health
Astaxanthin
The Menopause Antioxidant
Astaxanthin is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants and plays an important role in protecting hair follicles from oxidative stress.
For women, oxidative stress increases significantly during perimenopause and menopause due to declining oestrogen levels.
Potential benefits include:
Protecting follicles from premature ageing
Supporting scalp microcirculation
Reducing oxidative stress around the follicle
Helping maintain healthier hair density over time
Why this matters:
Many women notice their hair becoming finer, weaker and less resilient with age. Astaxanthin helps protect the follicle from some of the mechanisms involved in this process.
L-Glutathione
The Cellular Protection Molecule
Glutathione is often referred to as the body's master antioxidant.
Hair follicles are highly active cells that generate significant metabolic waste. Glutathione helps neutralise this damage and supports healthy cellular repair.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting healthy follicular function
Protecting actively growing follicles
Reducing oxidative damage
Supporting scalp health
Why this matters:
Women experiencing stress-related shedding or menopause-related thinning often have increased levels of oxidative stress that may affect follicular performance.
L-Carnosine
Supporting Follicles as We Age
One of the lesser-known causes of ageing is glycation.
Glycation occurs when sugars attach to proteins such as collagen, causing tissue stiffness and accelerated ageing.
Potential benefits include:
Protecting collagen surrounding the follicle
Supporting scalp elasticity
Helping maintain healthy follicular structures
Supporting age-related hair changes
Why this matters:
Many women notice reduced hair quality and slower regrowth as they age. Preserving healthy scalp architecture may help maintain a healthier environment for growth.
Trans-Resveratrol
Supporting Blood Flow and Follicle Longevity
Resveratrol is a plant-derived polyphenol known for its antioxidant and vascular-supportive properties.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting healthy circulation
Supporting nutrient delivery to follicles
Helping regulate inflammatory pathways
Supporting healthy follicular ageing
Why this matters:
Hair follicles depend on a healthy blood supply to deliver oxygen, nutrients and growth factors.
Tremella Mushroom
The Hydration Support Ingredient
Often called the beauty mushroom, Tremella is prized for its ability to retain moisture.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting scalp hydration
Supporting skin barrier function
Helping maintain a healthy scalp environment
Supporting scalp comfort
Why this matters:
Dry, ageing or menopausal scalps can become less supportive of healthy hair growth.
Bamboo Stem Extract

Supporting scalp structure
Supporting hair strength
Supporting healthy collagen formation
Why this matters:
Healthy hair follicles rely on healthy surrounding tissue for anchorage and support.
Saffron Extract
Supporting Stress, Mood and Hair
Stress is one of the most common triggers for female hair shedding.
Saffron has been extensively studied for its effects on mood and emotional wellbeing.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting emotional resilience
Supporting mood balance
Supporting stress management
Indirectly supporting hair growth during periods of stress
Why this matters:
Many women experiencing telogen effluvium report significant emotional or physiological stress before shedding begins.
Black Pepper Extract (Piperine)
Helping the Body Absorb Nutrients
Piperine enhances the absorption of several nutrients and plant compounds.
Potential benefits include:
Improving nutrient bioavailability
Supporting absorption of key antioxidants
Helping maximise utilisation of other ingredients
Why this matters:
A nutrient is only beneficial if your body can absorb and utilise it effectively.
Magnesium Bisglycinate
The Stress and Recovery Mineral
Magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions within the body.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting healthy sleep
Supporting energy production
Supporting stress regulation
Supporting protein synthesis
Why this matters:

Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide)
Supporting Cellular Energy
Vitamin B3 plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting energy production
Supporting cellular repair
Supporting healthy scalp function
Supporting follicular metabolism
Why this matters:
Hair matrix cells are among the fastest-dividing cells in the body and require substantial energy to function optimally.
Vitamin C
Supporting Collagen Around the Follicle
Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting collagen production
Supporting antioxidant protection
Supporting blood vessel health
Supporting iron utilisation
Why this matters:
Collagen helps provide structural support to the scalp and surrounding follicular tissues.
Zinc Bisglycinate
One of the Most Important Hair Nutrients
Zinc is essential for normal hair maintenance.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting healthy hair growth
Supporting follicular repair
Supporting protein synthesis
Supporting scalp health
Why this matters:
Low zinc levels are commonly associated with diffuse hair shedding and reduced hair quality.
Vitamin D3
Supporting Follicle Cycling
Vitamin D receptors are found within hair follicles and play a role in the hair growth cycle.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting normal follicular cycling
Supporting follicular stem cell activity
Supporting immune balance
Supporting scalp health
Why this matters:
Vitamin D insufficiency is commonly observed in women presenting with hair loss.
Vitamin B6 (P5P)
Supporting Hormonal and Protein Pathways
P5P is the active form of vitamin B6.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting amino acid metabolism
Supporting keratin production
Supporting hormonal balance
Supporting energy metabolism
Why this matters:
Healthy hair requires a constant supply of amino acids to produce strong keratin fibres.
Folate (5-MTHF)
Supporting New Cell Growth
Folate is essential for DNA synthesis and cellular division.
Potential benefits include:
Supporting follicular cell turnover
Supporting tissue repair
Supporting red blood cell production
Supporting healthy growth cycles
Why this matters:
Hair growth relies on rapidly dividing cells that require adequate folate availability.
