Ingredients That Promote Healthy Hair Growth



Effective Ingredients that can promote hair growth


There are a wide array of supplements on the market that claim to benefit hair growth. There is a common theme throughout these supplements, with similar ingredients used to give them that potent effect.

We look at some of the most commonly used hair beneficiary ingredients and extracts on the market, used to combat hair loss and help promote healthy, stronger hair growth.

VITAMIN C 


The production of tyrosine is dependent on Vitamin C, and tyrosine is important for the maintenance of the structural integrity of hair strands and the cells of hair follicles. Another known property of Vitamin C which can contribute to its ability to encourage hair regrowth is its action as an antioxidant. This is important in promoting skin health and preventing oxidative damage to the cells of hair follicles. Since it also boosts the immunity, Vitamin C is a general champion of good health.


VITAMIN E


Vitamin E builds capillaries in the body and improved blood flow on the scalp encourages hair growth. Vitamin E stimulates the hair follicles that grow hair. Adding vitamin E supplements to the diet increases the nutrition available in the blood stream to stimulate hair growth.

B VITAMINS


B vitamins help grow hair by aiding the body to handle stress and stress can cause hair loss. Inositol, one of the B vitamins, has been shown to speed hair growth. B vitamins prevent hair loss because B12 is a component of the hair itself. Many people are deficient in this nutrient, especially vegetarians, because B12 is mainly found in meat and eggs. The B vitamins are best taken together.

NICOTINIC AMIDE


Also known as vitamin B3 and niacinamide, Nicotinic amide is a potent cell-communicating ingredient that offers multiple benefits for healthy hair growth. This powerful ingredient is also excellent for the prevention of ageing skin.

PYRIDOXINE


Pyridoxine has many functions in the body and one of these is to help regulate hormones. The correlation between hair loss and hormones has been widely established, leading to the speculation that pyridoxine may help with hair regrowth. Several small-scale clinical studies have shown positive results with this vitamin as a hair growth agent.

FOLIC ACID


Folic acid, an essential B vitamin, is vital to the proper functioning of the human body. This common ingredient can stump hair loss, paving the way for healthier hair growth.

BIOTIN


Biotin has been called 'hair food' and rightly so since one of the effects seen most often is an increased rate of growth in the hair when taking biotin supplements on a daily basis. Biotin also promotes stronger, faster growing nails.


PANTOTHENIC ACID


Pantothenic Acid has been associated with healthy hair growth. It can help prevent hair loss, keep you from going grey, and is also good for your nails. It has been shown to result in a rapid cessation of hair loss, It helps get vital nutrients into the hair follicle, strengthening it; improving its function, and keeping it healthy so the follicle can grow a hair.

ZINC


Zinc is important for healthy hair. Insufficient zinc levels may result in loss of hair, hair that looks thin and dull and that goes grey early. Zinc helps strengthen the hair for healthy growth and volume.

COPPER


Due to their healing properties, copper peptides promote rapid growth of hair. Copper peptides are used for regular scalp treatments and also in hair tonics for overall hair and scalp treatment.

CHOLINE


Deficiency of Choline can cause stress which can lead to hair loss. Choline supports the healthy balance of the body which has a huge impact on the health of hair and scalp.


CYCLOHEXANE


Inositol (cyclohexane) is important for hair growth. Men, who were taking inositol supplements, reported less hair loss, although clinical trials of it are yet to be carried out. Cyclohexane is a key beneficiary for preventing the loss of hair.
 

PARA

 
Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) has been called the anti-gray hair vitamin and is considered one of the lesser known members of the vitamin B complex family (despite the fact that it’s not really a vitamin at all). This excellent formula can prevent greying hair and support healthy hair growth.
 

L-CYSTEINE


Several studies have confirmed that cysteine supplementation can reduce the symptoms of androgenic alopecia.

SILICON DIOXIDE


This mineral helps to strengthen your blood vessels and improve circulation, which can stimulate the blood flow to your scalp and encourage growth.

DIMETHYL SULFONE


Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has been found to be beneficial in treating osteoarthritis, and it is thought to possibly be helpful in treating other conditions including allergies, snoring, asthma, and back pain-although these uses need more clinical research to substantiate MSM's effectiveness. Most recently, MSM has become a popular supplement for promoting fast, healthy hair growth.

GINKGO BILOBA


Ginkgo biloba has been found to increase circulation and help with hair growth. It does this by increasing blood flow to the peripheral parts of the body, and micro-capillaries. By improving circulation to these capillaries, the body is able to more-effectively deliver oxygen and nutrients to the scalp, thus promoting hair growth.

SAW PALMETTO


Functional tests have shown positive results in Saw Palmetto being able to inhibit the formation of DHT. In men, DHT is the primary contributing factor to pattern baldness, and in women, DHT is one of several possible causes of hair loss.

PYGEUM AFRICANUM


The bark of the Pygeum Africanum tree is commonly used in combination with Saw Palmetto to prevent hair loss. Both are thought to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This is an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that has been found to damage hair follicles.

GREEN TEA


Green tea is a good source of panthenol, which is often used in shampoos and conditioners to strengthen hair and manage split ends. Panthenol, along with the other antioxidants present in green tea, may help in strengthening the hair and making it healthier.

GRAPE SEED EXTRACT


Grape seed extract is a very potent supplement that acts as an antiallergenic, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Like Pygeum Africanum and Saw Palmetto, Grape Seed extract has also been found to inhibit DHT production, and thus prevent hair follicle damage.
