Whiteweed HairAge Vitae®

Supporting Healthy Hair Growth and Reduced Thinning from Within

Overview: What This Ingredient Does

HairAge Vitae® is a proprietary extract of Ageratum conyzoides, a botanical ingredient standardized to deliver compounds that support hair health. In Hair Gro-R, it helps support hair follicle function, visible hair growth, and reduced thinning — working behind the scenes with the body’s natural processes rather than acting like a drug.

Where It Comes From & How It’s Made

HairAge Vitae® is made from the leaves of the Ageratum conyzoides plant, sometimes called billy goat weed. The extract is produced using a controlled process designed to concentrate the plant’s active components so they can be consistently delivered in supplements.

How It Works in the Body

Hair health involves many signals and cellular processes, including how hair follicles grow and stay in the active growth phase.

Here’s what that means in simple terms:

HairAge Vitae® helps support the signals inside hair follicles that are involved in growth regulation
Some biological pathways linked to hair thinning — including enzymes that affect hormone-related changes — are influenced by these signals
Healthy signaling helps help hair stay in its active growth cycle longer and supports follicle comfort and vitality

By supporting these internal mechanisms, HairAge Vitae® contributes to a foundation for hair that looks fuller and feels stronger.

What Clinical Studies Show

Research on Ageratum conyzoides extracts standardized as HairAge or similar botanical formulations includes human and laboratory studies:

Human clinical trial: In a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of adults experiencing hair thinning, supplementation with Ageratum conyzoides extract (branded as HairAge) showed significant reduction in the appearance of hairline recession compared with placebo, along with changes in biochemical markers linked to hair health.
Mechanistic research: Laboratory studies have shown that Ageratum conyzoides extracts can influence gene expression of enzymes related to hair regulation, including those tied to hormonal activity and pathways that affect hair growth signals.

These results help explain why HairAge Vitae® is used to support normal hair cycle activity and reduce the visual signs of thinning, when taken as part of a complete formula like Hair Gro-R.
