Probiotic Hair Care - Where is it, When You Need it? #SV Reviewing the Research that Could Bring Your Hair Back

Written by | published on

The idea of probiotic shampoos has been thrown around for quite some time, now. Gonna get rid of the text-containing thumbs, btw. I've recently got a request by a SuppVersity reader suggesting I write something about #hairloss... well, I thought: "I've addressed all there is in the two older articles on hair loss," and a cursory search of the latest literature seemed to confirm just that. It (or the absence of corresponding research) did yet also trigger my interest in the role of the microbiome in hair loss, hair maintenance, and hair regrowth... and I am not referring to expensive (useless) probiotics you'd swallow and hope for magic on your scalp. What I wanted to know was: Do we know anything about the scalp microbiome ? Overdoing it on  fasting  may also promote hair loss Monthly 5-Day Fast Works "Lean Gains" Fast Works Habits Determine Effects of Fasting Protein Modified Fast 4 Health IF + Resistance Training = WIN ADF Beats Ca-...

It's not clear if natural sandalwood extract will do the same as the synthetic sandalore that's used as a cheap sandal-wood replacement in perfumes (for more info on the difference read the green infobox in the bottom-line). A recent press release has been the #3 most viewed and debated posts on my social media accounts , recently; second only to my MTHFR and sucralose articles, the press release from my "colleagues" at the University of Münster (obviously I am working on my Ph.D. at the Physics Department , not at the Dermatology Department ;-) created quite a stir not just among SuppVersity  readers, but also among the general public from A as Australia to Z as Zambia (well, almost *lol*). But let's be honest: Is that really surprising? If you take into consideration that >50% of the male population and an ever-increasing number of females is affected by excess hair loss - reasons include regular aging ( Van Neste 2004 , Trüeb 2005 & 2006 ), ...

While women will (comparatively) rarely go completely bald, they have the same problems with thinning hair as men do... and diet (from nutrient deficiency to excess - esp. vitamin A + D) are primary drivers of hair loss in both, men and women; and that despite the fact that deficiencies of both retinol and 25OHD contribute to hair loss, too ( Rushton 2002 ; Guo 2017 ). I've written extensively about "conventional alternative" treatments (alternative = avoiding 5-AR inhibitors that block the conversion to DHT and not paying for a transplant) roughly a year ago in "Hair Loss: Finasteride, Laser Light or Minoxidil - What Will Really Help Men & Women Regrow Lost Scalp Hair?" ( re-read it ). In view of the fact that this is still one of the more popular articles and considering the interest many of you showed in a recent Facebook post of mine that included the list of nutrient deficiencies, ailments, and behaviors that may cause hair loss ( Table 1 ) on F...
