THE VERDICT (INTERNAL QUALITY SCORE):
Grade A (Superior). This formula rejects generic “hair vitamins” in favor of a specific, terroir-driven mineral matrix. The Mutamba is sourced directly from the varzea soils of Manaus, Brazil (3°06’S, 60°01’W), ensuring maximum procyanidin content. The Orris Root carries the distinct chemical signature of 3-year aged rhizomes from Florence, Italy. This is a functional medical-grade composite, not a beauty supplement.

SENSORY ANALYSIS:
Upon cracking open a capsule, we observed a pale beige powder heavily speckled with dark, fibrous brown granules. The texture is gritty and chalky, owing to the high concentration of fossilized Coral Calcium and Diatomaceous Earth. The aroma is complex: a dominant dusty, mineral scent layered with the faint, sweet-violet fragrance of the Orris Root. On the tongue, the raw powder tastes astringent and drying (evidence of active tannins) with a neutral, earthy finish.
HOW DOES HANGING FROM HEAVEN WORK?:
- The Herb: Mutamba (Guazuma ulmifolia) is harvested from the nutrient-dense Amazon Basin.
- The Mechanism: Contains high levels of Procyanidin B-2, a polyphenol that selectively inhibits Protein Kinase C (PKC) isoenzymes. This downregulation forces resting hair follicles to shift into the active growth phase.
- The Evidence: Clinical trials by Takahashi et al. (2001) confirmed that Procyanidin B-2 yielded a 78.9% increase in hair diameter and total hair count compared to placebo.
- The Herb: Jaborandi (Pilocarpus microphyllus) from the pre-Amazonian forests of Maranhão.
- The Mechanism: The alkaloid Pilocarpine acts as a muscarinic agonist to trigger immediate vasodilation. This floods the dormant hair bulb with oxygenated blood and nutrients.
- The Herb: Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum capillus-veneris).
- The Mechanism: Functions as a natural 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.
- The Evidence: Research by Noubarani et al. (2014) demonstrated the extract’s ability to reverse testosterone-induced alopecia by increasing follicular density.
CRITICAL USAGE:
Dosage: Take 1 capsule, 2 times daily. Best taken with water to aid mineral absorption.
Contraindications: Jaborandi stimulates salivation and perspiration. Consult a physician if you have a history of heart conditions or are currently pregnant/nursing. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

I have always been a satisfied customer of this brand. This particular supplement gave visible results of longer length (1.5 inches) in about 30 days. Throughout the 30-day cycle, I noticed my hair gained more luster and thickness. I also experienced no breakage or minimal shedding other than the healthy amount that we naturally shed. I will purchase it again!

This product has made my natural hair stronger, I’m retaining length and it’s so shiny! I recently washed my hair and I had minimal shedding compared to months prior I just had the common shedding that occurs from detangling. The greatest and unexpected benefit of all has been both my eyelashes getting longer and my eyebrows getting darker and thicker. Definitely buying more!

This was the best product when I transitioned to my natural hair two years ago. It grew my edges, stopped the breakage, no more dry scalp, and less grey hair. It helps maintain my curl pattern and stimulates growth.
