    GlossaryEndothelial Function

    cells lining blood vessels regulate blood flow and pressure

    Endothelial function refers to how well the endothelium, the thin layer of cells lining the blood vessels, works. It plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow, blood pressure, and the formation of new blood vessels. Healthy endothelial function is essential for cardiovascular health, while dysfunction can lead to conditions like atherosclerosis and hypertension.

      Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hair follicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hair growth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.
