Ever wonder why some people maintain a full head of hair as they age... while others can't?
Well, the answer may surprise you.
Hi, my name is John Goss and I'm a hair loss specialist based out of Los Angeles, CA.
If you're struggling with thinning, breaking, or balding hair...
Trust me that you're not alone.
In fact, according to the American Hair Loss Association a staggering 65% of American men experience hair loss by age 35...
And 40% of women experience some form of hair loss.
For me, hair loss started in my 20s:
After being voted "Best Hair" in high school, I quickly started losing my hair in college.
Watching my once-prized hair vanish right before my eyes was devastating.
Every time I looked in the mirror...
I couldn't help but to feel like a little piece of me was disappearing with every hair that shed.
To make things even worse:
Every "solution" that I tried over the next few years made my hair feel healthier...
But they did absolutely nothing to stop my hair from falling out.
Determined to regrow my hair...
I quit my job...
Cashed in my 401K...
And embarked on a journey to uncover the truth about hair loss.
I spent hours reading through thousands of research studies...
Traveled across the world meeting with the some of the brightest doctors and dermatologists around...
And after nearly a decade of digging...
I finally discovered the root cause of all types of hair loss...
Plus, a breakthrough method that's now helped over 27,000 men & women regrow thick, healthy hair.
The Real Reason We Lose Our Hair
If you’ve done any research on thinning hair or hair loss…
There’s a good chance you’ve been told that DHT is the problem, right?
And technically? That’s true…
But it’s only part of the story.
You see…
DHT has been shown to increase levels of a little-known protein called DKK-1.
Scientists call it the “hair death protein”—and for good reason.
DKK-1 disrupts a key growth pathway in your scalp…
The exact pathway that keeps your hair follicles alive, healthy, and growing:

When This Growth Channel Gets Blocked... It "Turns Off" Blood Flow To The Hair Follicle
And since blood is what carries all of the oxygen…
Nutrients…
And growth signals required to grow thick, healthy hair…
Your hair follicles become “starved” of the genetic fabric that keeps them alive.
Without proper blood flow...
Your hair starts to die a slow death...
Leading to thin, weak hair...
And eventually bald spots.
So if you want to stop hair loss at the source...
You need to protect your follicles from the damaging effects of DKK-1—and support the natural growth signals your hair depends on.
If DHT Blockers Worked... Then Why Are Millions Of People Still Losing Their Hair?
You see…
“DHT blockers” like finasteride…
Dustasteride…
And saw palmetto…
All aim to reduce the amount of DHT in the body.
But, here’s the issue with that:
DHT isn’t some “evil” hormone.
In fact, it’s one of the most important hormones in your body—especially for men.
It helps maintain muscle mass...
Bone density...
And even your sex drive.
When you "block DHT"...
You’re not just targeting your scalp...
You’re messing with your entire hormonal system.
That’s why guys on finasteride often report nasty side effects like brain fog…
Fatigue…
Low libido…
And in extreme cases…
Severe mental health issues.

The truth is…
You need DHT to feel and function at your best.
So, if we want to grow healthy hair…
Why would we “block” a hormone that’s vital for our overall health and wellness?
Here’s the good news:
There’s A Simple Way To Regrow Hair, Naturally
And luckily, it’s a lot easier than people think.
To help stop and reverse hair loss...
You don’t need to mess with your hormones...
You don’t need expensive surgeries…
And you don’t need “better supplementation.”
Instead, you need to restore blood flow back to your follicles…
And we do this by targeting DKK-1.
After Years Of Research, Scientists Have Discovered A Natural Way To Target DKK-1
In a groundbreaking 2021 study…
Conducted by a team of top-tier researchers out of Korea…
Which is commonly known as the “Cosmetic Capital of the World”...
Scientists discovered a revolutionary natural compound that:
➔ Targets DKK-1 directly
➔ Restores blood blow back to your hair follicles
➔ Reawakens dormant follicles
It’s called linoleic acid (LA)…
And it’s been shown to stop the effects of DKK-1 on the scalp.

Linoleic acid works in two critical ways to aid in hair regrowth:
First, it blocks the effects of DKK-1…
Restoring the blood flow that's responsible for feeding your follicles.
In addition…
Linoleic acid triggers something called angiogenesis...
Which means that it helps regrow new blood vessels around the hair follicle.
Doing so restores the vital blood supply your hair...
Naturally reversing years of hair follicle damage.
Since nutrients and vitamins can safely reach the hair follicle again...
Hair starts to grow in spots that haven't seen growth in years.
Just take a look at one of our verified community members...
Who has seen such life-changing results that other brands now use his transformation in their marketing!
A Quick Summary Of How To Achieve These Life-Changing Hair Growth Results For Yourself:
So that we're on the same page...
I want to quickly summarize why hair loss occurs and what to do about it:
Testosterone gets converted to DHT...
DHT then attaches to the hair follicle...
And that’s where the real damage begins.
Because once DHT binds to the follicle...
It triggers the release of a little-known protein called DKK-1.
DKK-1 stops blood flow to the hair follicle...
Causing the hair follicle to slowly shrink over time...
Until it can't grow a single strand of hair.
In order to reverse this process...
It's essential to use a natural fatty acid like linoleic acid...
Which inhibits DKK-1...
And restores blood flow so that vitamins and nutrients can nourish the follicle.
After Regrowing My Own Hair, I Worked With A World-Class Team To Offer A Natural Solution To Others
Since other common hair loss products didn't work for me...
I knew there had to be a better way....
Especially because other solutions only focus on blocking DHT...
But completely ignore DKK-1 and blood flow...
Which is the real root cause of thinning hair.
So, I partnered with a world-class team of researchers to develop a natural, science-backed solution that tackles hair loss from every angle...
Without expensive treatments, drugs, or side effects.
After months of research...
We identified three powerful ingredients proven to:
✅ Inhibit DKK-1 at the source
✅ Restore blood flow to the hair follicles
✅ And stimulate new hair growth naturally
Introducing Adegen ARB Shampoo—A Science-Backed Daily Essential For Healthy Hair Growth
Ingredient #1 - Linoleic Acid aka "ARB"
You can’t fight what you don’t understand.
When DHT binds to androgen receptors in the scalp, it sends a signal—a cascade that leads to a surge of DKK-1.
The result?
Inflammation... Miniaturization... A slow, painful suffocation of your hair.
Linoleic Acid (or what we call ARB) intercepts this process before it starts.
By modulating androgen receptor activity, it prevents DHT from ever triggering DKK-1 in the first place.
Not by lowering DHT. Not by interfering with your body’s natural balance.
But by stopping the damage before it begins.
When DKK-1 is silenced, blood flows freely again.
Follicles breathe. Strands strengthen. Hair revives.
This isn’t just another “DHT blocker.”
This is the first true Androgen Receptor Balancer.
Ingredient #2 - Caffeine
As you now know...
Blood flow to the hair follicle is everything.
It carries oxygen...
It delivers nutrients...
It determines whether your hair grows thick and full—or fades into nothing.
But for most people, blood flow to the scalp is compromised.
Years of DKK-1 activity have narrowed capillaries...
Restricted circulation...
And put follicles into hibernation.
Caffeine changes that.
As a vasodilator...
Caffeine expands blood vessels...
Allowing more blood to reach every follicle.
More blood means more oxygen.
More oxygen means stronger, longer, healthier hair.
And it doesn’t stop there.
Caffeine reactivates dormant follicles...
Waking them up...
Kickstarting their growth cycle...
And extending the time they spend in the anagen phase (the phase where your hair actually grows).
What does this mean for you?
It means fewer hairs in your drain and more staying where they belong—on your head.
It means thicker, stronger strands instead of weak, lifeless ones.
It means a chance to reclaim what’s yours.
Ingredient #3 - Zinc
You can’t build a house on a weak foundation.
And you can’t grow thick, resilient hair without Zinc.
This essential mineral is the cornerstone of follicle health.
It regulates sebum production...
Preventing excess oil from suffocating your scalp.
It fortifies the hair shaft...
Making each strand stronger and more resistant to breakage.
It fights oxidative stress...
Preventing the silent damage that leads to premature shedding.
But most men are deficient.
And a Zinc deficiency is a big step toward thin, brittle hair that refuses to grow.
By replenishing Zinc directly at the follicle, we rebuild hair from the inside out.
Stronger roots. Thicker strands. A scalp that thrives.
This Isn't Just Another Shampoo. It's a New Standard in Hair Health.
Picture yourself six months from now.
You step out of the shower...
Run your fingers through your hair...
And feel something you haven’t in years—thickness, strength, vitality.
You catch a glimpse in the mirror and do a double-take.
Your hair isn’t just hanging on. It’s thriving.
Strands that once felt thin and lifeless now have weight.
Your hairline looks fuller, stronger, more defined.
That old, nagging worry—the one that had you checking your scalp every morning? Gone.
Because for the first time, you’re not just slowing hair loss...
You’re building back what was lost.
This isn’t some gimmick.
It’s not another "miracle" that overpromises and underdelivers.
It’s a proven, science-backed way to give your hair the environment it needs to grow—naturally.
More blood flow. More oxygen. More nutrients.
This is what real, science-backed hair restoration looks like.
Over 27,000 men and women have now used this breakthrough routine...
And they've reported that their hair loss has stopped and started to regrow.
Not only that...
But these men and women have reported feeling an improved sense of self confidence that was previously drained because of their hair loss...
And they're leaving outstanding reviews about this first-of-its-kind solution:
“I just wanted to take a moment to express how much your product has positively impacted my life. I'm now three months into using it, and the results have been incredible. My confidence has grown significantly, and I no longer feel the need to wear hats anymore. People around me have even noticed the difference!"
