The Folligro story begins with a decorator in Europe suffering from chronic bronchitis. He was persuaded to try his grandmother's "witches brew" to rid him of his bad cough. It was a tea concocted from several herbs. "I drank the bitter concoction several times a day. Something quite unbelievable happened. Not only did it get rid of my bad cough and chest pains, but I discovered to my disbelief that my bald head had started to grow hair."
Wondering what in this herbal tea had the effect of growing back hair on bald people, he sent a sample to his brother, a scientist, who consulted with chemists and pharmacists. In 1987 they determined which essences in the tea affected hair growth and a medical company was given the task of producing capsules containing the recipe in a concentrated form.
Happy Hairdressers
The word started to spread among beauty salons. They all wanted to try it--even the skeptics tried a 3-month course. After trying Folligro on themselves it was the customer's turn. The jubilation was "hair raising". Men and women who had tried all sorts of cures now experienced hair growing on their bald patches, even those who had been diagnosed as suffering from Alopecia areata (patchy baldness) experienced new hair growth. The same happened to men whose doctors had said that there was nothing that could be done for their receding hairlines and baldness, as hereditary factors were to blame.
The owner of Folligro Worldwide, Burkhard F. K. Marshall, decided to improve the product and looked for ingredients that would even further increase Folligro's performance on male and female hair loss. Recent research has discovered the herbal extract beta-Sitosterol to be one of nature's best inhibitors of DHT (the hormone which blocks circulation to the scalp's hair follicles). This prompted the development of a patented oral delivery system containing beta-Sitosterol, (Biospray) to accompany the herbal extract capsules. Thus, the Folligro Advanced System Kit was born.
