So, you're trying to grow a badass beard, but you aren't getting the results you expected. It's a little embarrassing, and you're wondering if you're doomed to a clean-shaven face for the rest of your life. It's true, your genes are a big factor in what kind of mane you can grow, but have no fear; facial hair growth products can give your beard the boost it needs. These products may seem like a miracle, but the facts reveal why they actually work.

Facial Hair Growth Products Support Your Body's Natural Processes

If you're looking for something miraculous, look no further than the incredible system that makes your body function. Sometimes, it just needs a little boost. For you, that just happens to be in the beard growth capacity. The reason that the best growth products work so well is that they support your body's natural processes.

The Hormone Factor

Androgens are the male sex hormones. Both men and women have them, but men produce them at higher rates, especially once puberty hits. Many men think of testosterone as the hormone that makes a man a man, and they aren't far off. Testosterone plays a role in muscle mass and strength, libido, fat distribution and bone mass. It's also important in beard growth.

The testosterone itself doesn't lead to a full beard. Your testosterone levels could be just fine, and you could still have trouble growing the mane of your dreams. 5-alpha reductase is an enzyme in your body that takes the testosterone and converts it into dihydrotestosterone, a super-hormone. DHT travels to your hair follicles and binds to receptors there, causing beard growth. Healthy hair follicles can improve DHT's ability to bind. Effective facial hair growth products boost hair follicle health through ingredients like vitamin D and topical caffeine.

The Protein Factor

Another factor in growing a badass beard is protein. Protein is a chain of amino acids, and keratin is the particular type of protein that makes up beard hair. Around 54 keratins make up the inner and outer hair shafts and the innermost part of the hair called the medulla. When you don't produce enough keratin in your body, your beard suffers. If your mane is on the weak and brittle side, increasing keratin production may help.

Supporting keratin production can give your body the extra boost it needs to grow a better beard. The B vitamins, and B-7 in particular, are great for stimulating keratin production. The best facial hair growth products contain biotin, which is another name for B-7. Look for supplements that contain biotin for stronger, healthier beard hair.

Beard Growth Products Provide Overall Health Benefits

If you use products that contain natural ingredients, you get more than just a handsome beard. Your overall health benefits as well. Beard growth supplements and serums have vitamins and minerals that support your body in numerous ways. A few of these important ingredients and their benefits include:

  • Biotin: The B vitamin helps beard growth and improves the strength of your nails and the hair on your head. Biotin also forms fatty acids and glucose, and it may help regulate blood sugar levels in those with diabetes. It also plays a role in metabolizing amino acids and carbs. Biotin is an important ingredient in facial hair growth products like Wild Willies Badass Beard Growth Supplement.
  • Amino acids: Amino acids are protein building blocks, but they're also critical in synthesizing neurotransmitter functioning and hormones.
  • Choline bitartrate: This nutrient is usually lumped together with the B vitamins, but it isn't a vitamin or mineral. Your body needs it to function, but it doesn't produce enough on its own. Choline bitartrate is important to healthy liver functioning, cognitive health, muscle movement, nervous system function and metabolism.
  • Methylsulfonylmethane: This chemical might be a mouthful, but it's also very good at alleviating osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain, gastrointestinal upset and allergies. It's also an immune system booster. While you won't find this in all facial hair growth products, we put it in the BioSitol AsX Complex in our supplements.
  • Inositol: Inositol is a carbocyclic sugar found in your body's tissues. It helps in the storage and metabolism of amino acids. It also plays a role in forming neurotransmitters and balancing blood sugar levels through improved insulin sensitivity.

These ingredients, directly and indirectly, stimulate healthy beard growth. The bonus with ingredients like these is that they improve your overall well-being. When your body is in a healthy state and getting the right supply of nutrients, it can make your beard thicker, longer and stronger.

facial hair growth products should contain natural ingredients

The Best Facial Hair Growth Products Contain Natural Ingredients

If you want to do good things for your mane, use products containing natural ingredients over ones made from synthetic ingredients or added chemicals and preservatives. Nature knows best, and your skin can tell the difference. When you put harsh ingredients next to your skin, it can cause itchiness and irritation, making you to scratch your face more and tug at your mane. How is that supposed to help you grow a thicker beard? It won't. It'll do just the opposite.

When you're on the hunt for help for your mane, look for facial hair growth products that contain 100% natural and wholesome ingredients, like those in Wild Willies Badass Beard Growth Supplements, Gummies and Beard Boost Serum. When nature supplies everything you need, why use anything artificial? Using natural ingredients from sustainable sources is also better for your mother (Earth, that is).
