Happy Head Launches New All-in-One Hair Growth SuperCapsule for Women

Happy Head Launches New All-in-One Hair Growth SuperCapsule for WomenHappy Head and Its Dermatologists Have Developed an All-in-One Daily Capsule With Spironolactone, Minoxidil and Vitamin D3 to Treat Women’s Hair Loss

Happy Head today announces the launch of its new hair-growing 3-in-1 SuperCapsuleTM for women under 50. Designed by top-of-the-line board-certified dermatologists and hair restoration experts, these once-daily hair growth capsules were formulated with the strongest prescription-grade ingredients designed specifically for women’s hair growth. These SuperCapsulesTM are the first of their kind, infusing FDA-approved ingredients including Spironolactone, Minoxidil, and Vitamin D3 all into a single daily capsule.

Hair loss is a condition that affects millions of people, causing intense psychological and emotional distress. And women make up more than 40 percent of those struggling with hair loss and female pattern baldness. However, women are often left with limited treatment options: many treatments are designed only with male biology in mind. But with hair loss being so closely tied to hormone levels in the body, many treatment options come with undesirable side effects for women or are just flat-out ineffective.

Happy Head launched its first SuperCapsuleTM geared towards men and women over age 50 in January 2023. After seeing huge success with the product, the company has decided to expand the portfolio and launch a version especially designed for the needs of women under 50. This new formulation was designed specifically with women under 50 in mind. The main ingredients of the capsule include Spironolactone, Minoxidil, and Vitamin D3, which are some of the strongest, clinically proven hair growth medicines on the market. Dermatologists say three to six months of daily SuperCapsuleTM use will not only help regrow lost hair, but also prevent future hair loss. 

“There are several key differences between hair loss patterns in men and women,” said Dr. Ben Behnam, M.D., FAAD, and co-founder of Happy Head. “These differences are essential to consider when it comes to making an effective treatment plan. There is a lot of emotional suffering when people are dealing with hair loss. At Happy Head, we hope to ease some of the psychological effects of hair loss and aim to give both men and women renewed confidence regarding their hair.” 

About Happy Head

Happy Head is a telemedicine provider of dermatologist-prescribed, customized hair medicine and treatments. Founded in 2021, Happy Head specializes in customized formulas to prevent and treat hair loss in both men and women. Happy Head products are backed by some of the best dermatologists and hair restoration experts in the industry. The company hopes to help people struggling with hair loss to not only regrow their hair, but also regain their confidence and sense of self that is sometimes caused by hair loss.

Williams Building, 1290 Tremont Street, Roxbury, was a tremendous success with an estimated 150 community leaders and residents in attendance.

The theme at this year’s summit, “UNITED for Men’s Health: Grounded in Equity,” prompted open and engaging discussion on how, across the country, gaps and disparities in health care continue to increase and persist. 

The annual event included a health fair, health screenings, and a panel discussion and conversation about men’s health and wellness. A highlight of the Summit was the presentation of this year’s Men’s Health Champion Awards to the following:

  • Mr. Wilner Auguste, founder, Haitian American United (HAU), Mattapan;

“Open, honest, and genuine discussions were once again a high point of this year’s Men’s Health Summit,” said Frederica M. Williams, president and CEO of Whittier Street Health Center. “This important annual event aims to shine a light on and help to address preventable causes that contribute to increased morbidity and mortality rates, and decreased life expectancy for men, and in particular those of color.”

The ‘Great Kentucky Hoard’: A Historical Discovery of Lost Buried Treasure From the Civil War-Era

The ‘Great Kentucky Hoard’: A Historical Discovery of Lost Buried Treasure From the Civil War-EraOver 700 pre-1865 U.S. gold coins have been unearthed from Kentucky farmland.

Whether you are an avid coin collector or a history aficionado, the discovery of the Great Kentucky Hoard will impress all as one of the greatest historical finds. Comprising of over 700 exceptionally rare U.S. vintage gold coins from the Civil War-era, this buried treasure was discovered in 2023 under Kentucky farmland soil in pristine condition. GovMint.com, one of the largest direct-to-consumer retailers of collectible coins, is the exclusive distributor of this incredible discovery and will offer collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hold and own a piece of U.S. Civil War history.

After 160 years, the Civil War-era gold coins were found in excellent condition and feature captivating varieties, including the scarce and highly sought-after 1863 Gold Liberty Double Eagle. The hoard of gold coinage dated between 1840 through 1863 consists primarily of U.S. Gold Dollars. Also found were a few $1 Gold Indian coins, $10 Gold Liberty coins, and $20 Gold Liberty coins from 1863, an extremely rare date in the Double Eagle series. 

“I am always excited when someone calls asking for advice about a rare coin discovery,” said Jeff Garrett, rare coin dealer and leading U.S. coin expert in U.S. coinage. “The opportunity to handle the ‘Great Kentucky Hoard’ is one of the highlights of my career.” 

Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), a leading third-party coin grading company, carefully conserved each coin by delicately removing the dirt and certified them as genuine. Nearly all 1863-P $20 Liberty coins were certified by NGC to be in as good of a condition as the day they left the Mint in the 1800s. The authentic coins will receive special NGC designations to indicate they are from the Great Kentucky Hoard.  

“The importance of this discovery cannot be overstated,” Garrett said. “Over 700 gold dollars represent a virtual time capsule of Civil War-era coinage, including coins from the elusive Dahlonega Mint. Finding one mint-condition 1863 double eagle would be an important numismatic event. Finding a roll of superb examples is hard to comprehend.”

The exact origin and circumstances surrounding the burial of the Great Kentucky Hoard remain unknown—yet its discovery is significant enough to change the numismatic landscape of Civil War-era coinage, adding allure for coin collectors and history enthusiasts. The question remains why was this treasure buried 160 years ago? The world may never know.
