Health effects of panax ginseng on the scalp
According to a medical study and dermatologists panax ginseng and ginsenosides regulate the expression and activity of major proteins involved in different hair phases. Your hair goes through four major phases before it falls of. These are the anagen phase, the catagen phase, the telogen phase and the exogen phase.
• Anagen phase is the phase where hair is most active. The cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly. New hair forms and pushes club hair up the follicle and eventually out. According to the Journal of Ginseng research it is proven that the plant elevates the hair follicle progression into the anagen phase.
• The catagen phase is a phase that is transitional. The growth stops and the outer root sheath shrinks and attaches to the root of the hair. According to the International Journal of Molecular Sciences red ginseng can delay the catagen phase.
• The telogen phase is a phase, in which the hair follicle rests.
• The exogen phase is the phase, where your hair often falls of.
Although the underlying mechanisms from the plant that regulate hair cycling to a limited extend. In the anagen phase the follicle inducts and the catagen phase delays. There still need to be more studies that prove the best dose for the best results as hair loss remedy. Neofollics uses panax ginseng based on advice of dermatologists in their hair growth stimulating shampoo.
