Ingredients & Benefits
L-Arginine (5.25g per 15g serving)
In the body, the amino acid L-Arginine changes into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a powerful neurotransmitter that can help blood vessels relax which can improve circulation, which in turn may have a positive effect on hair growth. Nitric oxide may also improve the function of the potassium channels of the cells in the hair follicles – loss of this process results in a potassium deficiency, which is known to shrink follicles and thin hair.
​
L-Citrulline (1.09g per 15g serving)
Studies show that a combination of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline can increase the longevity of nitric oxide in the cardiovascular system, improving blood circulation, which may improve the potential for the collective ingredients of amino acids and vitamins in Hair Therapy to support healthy hair, by increasing the potential for them to reach the hair follicles.
​
Collagen (5g per 15g serving)
Collagen is primarily made up of three nonessential amino acids: Proline, Glycine, and Hydroxyproline and it is Proline, (which is also the main component of keratin), a fibrous wool-like substance, that makes up our hair and nails. Collagen directly promotes hair follicle growth through its amino acids and proteins. Collagen also strengthens the scalp's dermis and supports normal hair growth as its antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals which damage the hair follicles. Notably, collagen is an anti-aging protein that not only contributes to healthy skin, but it may also help prevent age-related hair loss too. Collagen supplementation may help counter accelerated breakdown of our collagen stores from sun damage, alcohol and excess sugar in our diet, factors that can all contribute to the breakdown of the structure of our hair, skin, and nails.
​
Biotin (0.05mg per 15g serving)
Biotin is an essential water-soluble B Vitamin (B7) that helps convert our food into energy (by metabolising carbohydrates, fat and amino acids, the building blocks of protein), and is important in the biological functions that help to maintain great hair health and can support consistent strong growth. Biotin is an important part in protein synthesis and plays an essential role in the production of keratin production in hair and can help to fortify the hair follicles which may reduce hair loss and shedding.
​
Zinc (10mg per 15g serving)
Zinc plays a crucial role in DNA and RNA production, a requirement for the efficient division of follicle cells leading to an improved anagen (active) state of the hair growth cycle. Zinc may be effective in helping to reduce hair loss and shedding, by inhibiting hair follicle regression, with its integral role in building and repairing hair tissues and ensuring that the oil glands around the follicles work seamlessly. Zinc is also required to produce keratin, a protein that makes up the hair shaft. Zinc is also another great antioxidant and enzyme activator, activating protein transformation necessary for hair building.
Vitamin C (0.42g per 15g serving)
Vitamin C holds antioxidant properties which may help to reduce damage that free radicals can cause to hair follicles. Vitamin C also plays an important role in maintaining collagen levels, as it is a vital element needed for collagen production. Vitamin C also helps your body to absorb iron, a mineral essential for hair growth.
​
Beetroot Extract (0.21g per 15g serving)
Carotenoids present in beetroot extract may help improve blood circulation in the scalp which in turn may nourish the hair follicles from within. Beetroot extract also contains potassium, vitamins B1, B2, B3, and Vitamin C, as well as Phosphorus, Sodium, Iodine, Iron and Copper – and so has a broad range of micronutrients that may contribute to great hair health.
​
Grape Seed Extract (0.08g per 15g serving)
Grape Seed Extract has huge antioxidant potential due to its flavonoid phytonutrients. Recent studies have also shown that Grape Seed Extract appears to jump start the hair cycle and push the follicle from telogen, the phase when most hair is lost, to anagen, the phase in which active hair growth occurs. Grape Seed Extract may also inhibit DHT production (a hormone that causes hair loss) enhancing follicle stimulation and promoting healthy hair.
​
Resveratrol Extract (0.0315g per 15g serving)
Resveratrol may reduce the effects of inflammation in the hair follicles by blocking the production of N F Kappa B, a powerful inflammatory agent. Resveratrol may also slow the progression of genetically conditioned hair loss by improving endothelial function. Endothelial dysfunction decreases blood flow to the hair follicles reducing their capacity to stimulate continuous growth, which can result in damaged and shedding hair.
​
Vitamin K2 (180mcg per 15g serving)
A major cause of hair loss is DHT (a derivative from testosterone) which can cause excess calcium deposits leading to ‘scalp calcification’ which decreases the flow of blood to hair follicles, which in turn shrink and lead to hair loss. Vitamin K2 stimulates the production of Matrix GLA Protein in our body, which is known to inhibit ‘scalp calcification’ by regulating blood calcium in a very efficient manner.
​
Vitamin D3 (1000iu per 15g serving)
Vitamin D3 plays a vital role in cellular turnover ensuring a normal and healthy hair follicle cycle. Vitamin D3 deficiency has been linked to hair shedding and general poor hair condition.
