REACTIV
Reactive alopecia is very common and more often affects women. There are many etiologies: acute telogen effluvium (post partum, deficiency, stress, etc.), or anagen effluvium during cancer treatment. The psychological impact should not be neglected, despite the reversible nature of this alopecia. The REACTIV range meets patients' expectations: effectiveness and naturalness, thanks to a combination of innovative and complementary active ingredients.

Strengths of the range
The " IN " approach
One of the therapeutic objectives is to act on the hair fiber by providing the nutrients necessary for healthy hair growth.
The "IN " response is the formula of ANACAPS REACTIV: the only dietary supplement formulated for hair and nails, whose effectiveness has been clinically demonstrated and which covers 100% of the NRV for Iron. The sulfur amino acids (cysteine and methionine) in the formula allow the creation of a healthy hair fiber with a reinforced keratin thanks to Biotin. Vitamin B3 and B6 complete this formula and bring resistance, strength and vitality to new hair. Vitamin E protects the bulb against free radicals. After 3 months of treatment, the A/T ratio is significantly increased, which demonstrates the revival of hair growth.
The "OUT " approach
The second therapeutic objective is to act on the follicle: by stimulating the anagen phase and accelerating hair growth, and by stimulating capillary microcirculation at the follicle level.
The "OUT " response is CREASTIM REACTIV, the only anti-hair loss lotion with proven efficacy as early as 1 month versus a control group, clinical study published in JEADV*. The effectiveness is explained by specific and targeted active ingredients that act directly on the hair follicle to stimulate growth (creatine) and lengthen the hair growth phase (tetrapeptide). These two active ingredients act in synergy to increase microcirculation. At the level of the hair fiber, biotin produces reinforced keratin and thus strengthens the hair. Vitamins B5 and B6 bring strength and vitality.
93% natural formula, formulated with a hypoallergenic fragrance. Eco-designed bottle.

Cancer treatments and anagenic effluvium
Treatments abruptly stop the anagen phase of the hair cycle and hair loss often occurs within 2 to 3 weeks after the start of treatments. In some patients, it may occur immediately.
It is most often spread over the entire skull; it can be progressive but also brutal, and the intensity of the fall varies according to the molecules and the doses used. Depending on the treatments used, hair, eyelashes and eyebrows may also be affected, a little later than the hair.
Most of the time, the hair grows back one to two months after the end of the last treatment. Sometimes the hair texture can be a little different: stiffer, curlier, or a slightly different color upon regrowth. This change is often regressive over time. After 12 to 18 months, the hair gradually returns to its original appearance.
The REACTIV response
The full range can be safely recommended for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
At the end of treatments for CREASTIM REACTIV lotion, and 4 weeks after the end of treatments for ANACAPS REACTIV food supplements.
ANAPHASE+ shampoo can be used from the beginning of cancer treatment.
