About the hair

Many factors such as nutrition, contamination of food and the environment (air, water), side effects of drugs, type of work, mental tension, cause the release of excessive amounts of oxygen free radicals in cells, this leads to the so-called oxidative stress. Stress, regardless of the type of factor that caused it, leads to excessive production of free radicals, which, by damaging proteins, cause cell death. Reactive oxygen weakens the network of structural proteins, the so-called cellular "skeleton" (see Fig. 1 - damaged cell). Damage to hair follicle cells is a direct cause of pathological hair loss and baldness. Without recognizing this mechanism, the action of most of the means used so far to stimulate hair regrowth was accidental and not very effective.

The main question was how can you limit or neutralize this negative effect of stress factors? After studying hundreds of natural compounds derived from medicinal plants, substances were isolated that clearly increased the activity of several important anti-stress enzymes in hair follicle cells, mainly the SOD enzyme, which by neutralizing excess reactive oxygen prevents the formation of stress damage. Substances that strongly increased the activity of chaperone proteins repairing stress-damaged enzymatic, structural, and other proteins were also isolated, thus restoring health to cells and hair (see Figure 2 - cell "repaired"). The results of this research gave the basis necessary to develop the recipe.
