What You'll Learn

It is well established that nutrition influences hair loss and hair condition, as illustrated by the hair problems observed in disorders caused by malnutrition or specific restrictive diets. Vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and semi-vegetarians are associated with vitamin deficiencies that have been linked to changes in hair quality and ultimately hair loss. In addition to nutrient-induced hair thinning, these demographics are susceptible to other factors such as microbiome changes, stress, hormonal triggers, inflammation, oxidative stress, and biological aging which have compounding influence on the hair follicle.

It is well established that nutrition influences hair loss and hair condition, as illustrated by the hair problems observed in disorders caused by malnutrition or specific restrictive diets. Vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and semi-vegetarians are associated with vitamin deficiencies that have been linked to changes in hair quality and ultimately hair loss. In addition to nutrient-induced hair thinning, these demographics are susceptible to other factors such as microbiome changes, stress, hormonal triggers, inflammation, oxidative stress, and biological aging which have compounding influence on the hair follicle.

Here we present a multi-targeted solution, one that in addition to supporting the nutritional status and targeting hormonal triggers (DHT), also addresses inflammatory markers, psycho-emotional stress, oxidative stress from external factors, and more.
