Hair Loss Due to Pollution, Micro Metabolic Dysfunction, Epigenetics, and Role of Nutrients

The study investigates the impact of pollution on hair loss and the potential of nutrients to counteract this damage. Conducted on 63 patients (37 male, 26 female) aged 18-38, the research found that pollutants generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to hair loss by causing micro metabolic dysfunction and epigenetic changes. Patients were given a combination of oral supplements, including curcumin, quercetin, vitamins, and amino acids, over 4 months. Results showed a 16-21% improvement in hair density and an 18-22% improvement in hair caliber. The study concludes that nutrients can effectively promote hair growth without the need for finasteride, antiandrogens, or minoxidil.
