Did you mean Heme Oxygenase-1?

GlossaryHeme Oxygenase-1

breaks down heme into biliverdin, iron, and carbon monoxide

Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in breaking down heme, a component of hemoglobin, into biliverdin, free iron, and carbon monoxide. This process not only helps in recycling iron but also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can protect cells from damage.

community If the main mechanism of microneedling is an increase in bloodflow to the scalp, shouldn't we be pursuing other actions which increase bloodflow? Sauna, cold showers, high dosage fish oil, hard cardio, heme-iron(red meats), HAND STANDS, foods high in NO (arugula), ginger, increased water consumption

in Question 18 upvotes 6 years ago

Microneedling stimulates hair growth through stem cell activation during wound healing, not just increased blood flow. Other methods like showers or supplements don't replicate this effect.
