Abstract
Description
[0001] DESCRIPTION
[0002] Hair nutritional complex
[0003] TECHNICAL SECTOR
[0004] The present invention relates to a hair nutritional complex whose obvious purpose is to combat poor hair nutrition.
[0005] The object of the invention is to provide a product based on the study of hair needs for proper nutrition, and adapting the correlations between its various components so that its effectiveness is complete.
[0006] This compound has a specific characteristic: its entire formulation is a combination of natural products, without any type of drug.
[0007] More specifically, the object of the invention is to provide a product that allows the stimulation of the follicular unit in humans by means of natural resources so that it can be used in seasonal or continuous effluvia in all types of people or in patients who do not wish to be treated with drugs, oncological, pre-menopause and post-menopause, operated on for morbid obesity, post-partum, stress and all types of diffuse and androgenic alopecia without the use of any type of drug.
[0008] The product stimulates the follicular unit at the central level, from the medulla with its own nutritional needs to the promontory for proper formation of the external root epithelium.
[0009] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The maintenance of human hair has been a focus of human interest since ancient times. Hair treatments of various kinds have always been chosen to beautify and / or maintain it, so the fight against alopecia has never been over.
[0011] These types of treatments are applied from the outside (where the follicular unit is not located) with poor results in most cases.
[0012] Drugs have also been used in another specialty where a slight improvement in hair has been observed but without lasting clinical resolution.
[0013] Until now, there was no truly effective and specific treatment for hair loss.
[0014] EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] The recommended hair nutritional complex fully resolves the aforementioned problems, all based on a composition of natural products, without any type of drug.
[0016] To this end, and more specifically, the product of the invention is made up of the following components:
[0017] Sabal (saw palmetto):
[0018] It slows down alopecia. It combats hair loss, as it promotes growth and increases volume. This is achieved through hormonal regulation and the normalization of DHT levels.
[0019] Pygeum afrícanunr.
[0020] Its mechanism of action is very similar to that of saw palmetto. Both androgenetic alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia share the same cause: excess dihydrotestosterone. Its main active ingredients, beta-sitosterol and n-docosanol, effectively inhibit the enzyme 5 alpha reductase. In this way, they prevent the conversion of testosterone into DHT, which is the cause of hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
[0021] Cystine:
[0022] To better understand its scope, we must delve into the interior of the hair fiber. Hair is composed of a fibrous protein: alpha keratin. These keratins also have a special structure with intermediate filaments. These are aligned in such a way that they create the hair fiber.
[0023] A characteristic feature of alpha keratin is its high sulfur content. This stems from the high content of the di-amino acid cystine. In fact, cysteine and methionine are the only naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acids. The sulfur bonds can form disulfide bridges, in which the two cysteine molecules ultimately form the di-amino acid cystine.
[0024] Knowing these cystine values, we now understand that an increase in cystine concentration in hair follicles directly results in an increase in the growth rate and thickness of hair fibers.
[0025] Methionine:
[0026] It is an essential amino acid for hair growth. It is a powerful antioxidant and a storehouse of sulfur, a key ingredient in combating hair disorders. Due to its lipotropic function, it increases blood flow to hair follicles, promoting greater hair growth.
[0027] Astaxanthin:
[0028] Its antioxidant power is 800 times more potent than coenzyme Q10 and 6000 times more potent than vitamin C. It is an antioxidant explosion for all cells.
[0029] Renews and increases skin health, improves connective tissue health, intervenes and improves the health of healthy cell membranes after exposure to UV light, helps maintain antioxidant balance.
[0030] Melatonin:
[0031] Melatonin, the hormone universally known for its power to regulate circadian rhythms, is also involved in hair growth. Until now, it was popularly linked to its ability to promote sleep, but science has been investigating its relationship with hair for some time. And there's good news, as according to the study "Melatonin and Hair Physiology" by Dr. Massimo Milani, its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in the skin and its involvement in hair growth have been demonstrated, promoting the anagen phase and mitigating oxidative stress in the hair follicle.
[0032] Biotin:
[0033] Biotin improves the infrastructure of keratin, a basic protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails, so it can improve hair health, including volume and scalp coverage.
[0034] Retinol:
[0035] Vitamin A and its derivatives (retinoids) are important for the development and maintenance of multiple epithelial tissues, including skin, hair, and sebaceous glands, as serious adverse effects are observed in vitamin A deficiency or excess.
[0036] Increases blood flow to hair follicles and stimulates the formation of new blood vessels.
[0037] Horse chestnut:
[0038] Its flavonoid compounds are recognized for acting as a powerful antioxidant that can protect against cell damage. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory, astringent, and toning properties are effective for the skin. Hence, there are so many products with formulas to firm and tone the skin and help reduce fine lines. For example: body creams, lotions, cleansing toners, and moisturizers.
[0039] This plant also helps strengthen the scalp by improving capillary blood flow, promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss.
[0040] Iron:
[0041] It's the mineral responsible for producing hemoglobin, which are the proteins that transport oxygen to the rest of the body. One of its benefits is that it allows oxygen to be transported to the hair roots, thus contributing to healthier, stronger hair.
[0042] Selenium:
[0043] Selenium, an anti-infective agent, relieves itching and flaking of the scalp and removes the dry, flaky particles commonly called dandruff or seborrhea.
[0044] Collagen:
[0045] Collagen is a key ingredient for healthy, strong hair. This substance, which the body produces naturally, tends to disappear with age, causing hair to appear dull, weak, and brittle.
[0046] Keeps hair strong and resilient: thanks to its extra amino acid content, hair receives the nutrients it needs to stay healthy.
[0047] Counteracts hair loss: Collagen provides nutrients to the root cells, slowing hair loss.
[0048] Helps accelerate growth: by improving circulation in the area, hair grows faster.
[0049] In short, the main advantage of taking collagen is that it works by regenerating hair in depth.
[0050] Zinc:
[0051] To understand the link between hair health and zinc, it's first necessary to understand the connection between zinc deficiency and hair loss. Zinc deficiency is actually the primary cause of the deterioration of the protein structure that makes up the hair follicle. This weakening of the follicle can, in turn, lead to hair deterioration and alopecia.
[0052] Zinc has also been shown to play a crucial role in the production of DNA and RNA, being necessary for hair follicle cell division and healthier hair growth.
[0053] At the same time, zinc helps maintain balanced hormonal levels, which is one of the key reasons why it's considered so effective in preventing hair loss and graying. Aged and gray hair can return to its original color when nourished with zinc-rich diets or supplements formulated with this element.
[0054] Molybdenum:
[0055] Molybdenum is responsible for the metabolism of sulfurous amino acids, particularly methionine, which are essential for keratin synthesis.
[0056] Molybdenum is a mineral we need to stay healthy. The body uses molybdenum to process proteins and genetic material like DNA. Molybdenum also helps break down medications and toxic substances that enter the body.
[0057] More specifically, these elements will participate in the following composition by weight:
[0058] • Sabal between 100 and 200mg.
[0059] • Pygeum africanum between 50 and 100 mg.
[0060] • Cystine between 200 and 300 mg.

[0072] If obtained in capsules, these may contain plant or animal material on the outside, as well as glycerin for coating.
[0073] This creates a highly effective nutritional complex for hair treatment.
