Nutrafol Hair Care

YOUR HAIR ISN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE. FORTUNATELY, NEITHER IS THE SCIENCE.

For years research in women’s hair health was taking a back seat. It is time for a shift in our treatment approach. We are overdue for a multi-targeted natural solution that addresses the unique causes of poor hair health in women.

Dr. Sophia Kogan, Integrated Hair Health MD

Our team of doctors and researchers spent years diving deeper into the root causes of compromised hair health to uncover the truths and misconceptions about the science of hair growth—providing hope for thousands of men and women.

Common Misperceptions About Hair Thinning vs New Science Findings

STRESS

MISPERCEPTION:
Stress plays a role only in sudden hair shedding.

NEW SCIENCE FINDINGS:
Stress plays a leading role in ALL hair health issues. In fact, science shows that elevated levels of chronic stress generate chemical molecules that disrupt hair growth cycle signaling and need to be addressed.

GENES

MISPERCEPTION:
Genes, nutritional deficiencies and hormones (e.g. dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the more potent form of testosterone) are usually behind the most common forms of hair shed and thinning in men and women.

NEW SCIENCE FINDINGS:
In addition to genetics, nutritional deficiencies and hormones, there are other triggers – such as stress, environmental toxins (styling, products, tobacco), UV light, aging, inflammation and free radicals – that commonly act as root causes of many hair issues, putting the follicle out of balance. New science confirms that all these triggers lead to an inflammation cascade that produces chemical molecules that alter the hair growth cycle signaling.

MONO-TARGETING

MISPERCEPTION:
Mono-targeting through blocking androgen hormones like DHT is the standard of care.

NEW SCIENCE FINDINGS:
A long-term solution requires that MULTIPLE triggers at the root of poor hair health and their consequences (inflammation, free radicals, damaging chemical molecules) be addressed in a multi-targeted, multi-step approach.

The Effects of Internal and External Triggers

The hair follicle is a dynamic mini-organ that undergoes perfectly calibrated cycles of growth, regression and rest.

Each follicle has its own independent biological clock that ticks and signals the follicle to grow hair, lose hair or lay dormant. When out of balance, under attack, or its environment is altered, the process of hair production is disrupted. New science proves how a multitude of internal and external triggers create an imbalance in the body’s immune system and metabolic pathways. At the follicle, this produces a never-ending cascade of free radicals, oxidative stress and inflammation. Chronic inflammation generates damaging molecules, more free radicals and results in injury to the follicle that disrupts hair growth. Injury prompts the follicle and the immune system to respond by producing more of these chemical molecules – and these molecules, called cytokines, is where the problem truly begins.

Inflammation Leads To:

I. DYSREGULATED SIGNALING MOLECULES

In our bodies, all communication happens through signaling molecules. In the follicles, too, very specific molecules are released to signal the follicle to either produce hair growth (anagen), regress (catagen), or rest (telogen).

Excess inflammation, free radicals and damaging chemical molecules disrupt the signaling molecules responsible for regulating the hair growth cycle and hair production. Signaling Molecules — when not properly regulated — will disrupt a healthy hair- growth cycle and follicle growth by sending a signal to the follicle to move into catagen (regression) phase, rather than anagen (growth) phase; and anagen signaling is essential for these hairs to be replaced. This is the beginning of hair thinning. Simply put: You are not replacing the 100-200 hairs that normally fall out per day at the same rate.

II. AND DEFICIENT NUTRIENT ABSORPTION AND DELIVERY

 

In addition to the hair growth cycle being altered and the follicle now in an imbalanced state, the harmful inflammatory cascade leads to another important consequence:

  • The efficient delivery of nutrients to the follicle is compromised
  • The ability of the follicle to absorb nutrients is dramatically diminished

Our researchers coined the term DNAD or deficient nutrient absorption and delivery to describe the impoverished state of the follicle, which is essentially being starved as a result.

Comprehensive Solution in Four-step Protocol

After years of research, the makers of NUTRAFOL® deduced that if a long-term solution to thinning hair with sustainable efficacy were to exist, it would have to do the following:

I.

Synergistically target all potential triggering factors of hair thinning.

II.

Break the cascade of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress that disrupts hair growth, cycling and signaling.

III.

Remove the follicle from the state of DNAD, recalibrate its signaling and optimize its environment – empowering it to heal.

IV.

Stimulate the growth cycle and provide the building blocks for healthy hair once balance is established.

Nutrafol®, the patent-pending formulation, utilizes a full spectrum of standardized nutraceutical-grade phyto-nutrients, leveraging the multi-dimensional properties of therapeutic nutraceuticals that work in synergy to improve hair health. Scientifically formulated, Nutrafol takes a four-stage approach to jumpstart your healthy hair growth cycle from the inside out.

Nutrafol® Science Research and Therapeutic Nutraceuticals are Redefining the Science of Hair Health.

I.

NEW THINKING

The concept of mono-targeting single triggers is outdated.

NUTRAFOL® FINDINGS

Targeting single triggers, like only DHT, or simply providing nutrition (vitamins and minerals) to hair follicles that are compromised is not enough to return to a healthier hair growth cycle.

NUTRACEUTICAL BENEFITS

Powerful therapeutic plants have been identified and now scientifically proven to target multiple triggers and offensive molecules that are sources of immediate injury and inflammation to follicles, such as DHT, stress hormones and free radicals. Nutrafol® uses nutraceutical-grade botanicals that:

  • rebalance stress levels using adaptogens
  • block DHT and rebalance hormones
  • reduce inflammation and free radical levels to multi-target the initial triggers at the root of hair health issues.

II.

NEW THINKING

The cascade of free radicals, inflammation and disruptive signaling molecules must be broken.

NUTRAFOL® FINDINGS

It is not enough to simply remove the initial triggers once the inflammation cascade has begun, as it will continue dysregulating normal hair growth, cycling and signaling.

NUTRACEUTICAL BENEFITS

Nutrafol® uses powerful nutraceutical–grade botanical ingredients that reduce inflammation (including inflammatory biomarkers like CRP) and neutralize free radicals that both interrupt optimal hair growth.

III.

NEW THINKING

Follicle healing must be empowered by boosting and optimizing the body’s innate healing and protective mechanisms.

NUTRAFOL® FINDINGS

Our bodies have all they need to heal and protect us. But with age and with the challenges of daily life (triggers, inflammation, free radicals), the innate mechanisms that support healing (the immune and antioxidant systems) become depleted. Each follicle has an additional ability to shield itself from inflammation with a unique Immune Privilege. Even this protective system, however, has now been shown to collapse from emotional and physical stress. So it is important to not only combat triggers and damaging molecules, but to also optimize the body’s natural mechanisms that promote healing and empower the follicle to remove itself from the state of DNAD.

NUTRACEUTICAL BENEFITS

The healing properties of potent therapeutic plants within Nutrafol® have also been proven to raise levels of the body’s natural (endogenous) antioxidant defenses, combat aging, increase factors that support the follicle Immune Privilege, and boost the immune system – empowering the damaged follicles to heal from within. These same botanicals act to synergistically improve blood flow and the structural integrity of the scalp – supporting the follicle as it begins absorbing nutrients again.

 

IV.

NEW THINKING

Hair growth should be supported and stimulated.

NUTRAFOL® FINDINGS

In addition to providing vitamins, minerals and other nutritive building blocks, for healthy hair growth to occur, the hair growth cycle should be stimulated.

NUTRACEUTICAL BENEFITS

It has been shown that these powerfully efficacious phyto-nutrients also have synergistic abilities to increase production of signaling molecules that normally stimulate the follicles to enter into anagen (growth phase of the hair cycle).
