TLDR Amla extract helps hair grow and could prevent hair loss.
The study conducted 5 years ago aimed to determine the effects of amla (Phyllanthus emblica L.) extract on hair growth. The researchers found that amla extract had a significant effect on cell proliferative activity in human dermal papilla cells, particularly at a concentration of 50μg/ml. The extract also decreased the expression of 5α-reductase, an enzyme linked to hair loss, in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, the extract increased the levels of IGF-1 & VEGF, factors known to accelerate the differentiation and growth of human dermal papilla cells, also in a dose-dependent manner. The results suggested that amla extract has a hair growth promoting effect and could potentially be used for the prevention of hair loss.
