Recent study regarding role of amino acids in hair growth

 


Amino acids are the units of proteins which are the building blocks of our body including our keratinised tissue like our hairs and nails. Amino acids are of 2 categories essential and non essential. Body can synthesis non essential Amino Acids but a person have to  procure the Essential ones via their daily food or supplements. Recent studies shown significant relationship between hair loss,hair breakage and thinning and low consumption of Essential Amino acids especially for the persons who can not maintain proper proportion of protein in their diet. The cause can be ruled out by the treating trichologist during consultation especially where the cause is nutritional deficiency as we do it i our clinic everyday under experienced trichologist Dr.Abhik Bhattacharyya. 

Methionine is derived from Sulphur which helps significantly in formation of hair shaft and also boosts collagen productions within the body which strengthens the hair shaft.

Cysteine also referred to as L-Cysteine it contributes to the protein formation and helps to build hair strands through Keratin. Cysteine has a unique ability to form disulfide bonds which bind the keratin strands within the hair together. This allows the hair strand to have fibrous properties to enable it to retain moisture and nourish the hair follicles. Cysteine is a non-essential amino acid and thus can be obtained from food sources such as broccoli, chicken wheat germ, and sprouts.Lysine also referred to as L-lysine is a non-essential amino acid which is readily available in meat, fish, eggs, and legumes. Lysine is known for its restorative properties on the hair follicle. L-Lysine helps in the production of collagen which is essential for healthy skin, hair, nails.Arginine also referred to as L-Arginine is a precursor to nitrogen oxide. Arginine thus helps to generate nitrogen oxide which helps in opening of potassium channels within cells. The opening of potassium channels triggers blood vessels to dilate which facilitates the movement of blood vessels and improves circulation.

Improvement in blood circulation further enhances blood supply to hair follicles which stimulate hair growth. Being a non Essential amino acid, it can be found in food sources such as fish. Coconut, sesame seeds, hazelnut, and cashews. Amino acids are thus very essential for the healthy growth of your hair and to prevent hair los.

Fast track your amino acids and ensure healthy hairs.

There is an extraneous role of glutamine in the growth of the hair. As we know that keratin is the main component of the hair and it contains a huge amount of cysteine. A large amount of sulfur is required for the synthesis of cysteine and this sulfur is transported to the scalp with the help of glutamine which automatically results in the regrowth of the hair.

Proper supply of amino acids helps to overcome nutritional causes of hair loss and that ultimately helps to complete 3 proper stages of hair cycle.
