Baldness
Hair shedding is part of a normal hair-growth cycle. At any given time, 90% of scalp hair is in a 2 to 6 years growth phase; 10% is in a 2 to 6 months dormant phase. When the dormant phase ends, hair is shed. New hair subsequently emerges from these follicles. Throughout a normal growth cycle, many hairs are shed. Loss of 50 to even 100 hairs daily is not cause for alarm. Noticeable thinning indicates significant hair loss or balding. Hair loss and balding are not life-threatening, but can cause emotional distress.
Hair loss results from aging, genetic pre-disposition, thyroid imbalance, eating disorders, illness, hormonal effects of birth control pills, pregnancy, or menopause and certain medications. The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition known as androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
Hair loss caused by AGA in men and women is characterized by a gradual shrinking of hair follicles which shorten the life cycle of hair. As the growth cycle phase progressively shortens, newly grown hair is shorter and thinner until new hair growth eventually ceases entirely. Hair-thinning conditions can be treated. Consult a physician or dermatologist for an evaluation to determine the cause of thinning hair.
Hair loss has many causes, including aging, genetic pre-disposition, thyroid imbalance, eating disorders, illness, hormonal effects of birth control pills, pregnancy, menopause and certain medications and medical treatments.
Role of Noni in Baldness
- Noni contains 17 amino acids out of total 20 amino acids including all essential amino acids. The amino acids L-Lysine inhibits 5-alpha-reductase and helps in androgenetic alopecia. Hair follicles use nitric oxide to maintain and promote new hair growth. L-arginine is required to produce nitric oxide.
- Noni stimulates production of nitric oxide in human body. Nitric oxide maintains and promotes new hair growth.
- Noni blocks 5-alpha-reductase, reduces DHT (dihydrotestosterone) uptake by follicles and block binding of DHT to androgen receptors.
- Noni contains epigallocatechin gallate. It affects type I 5-alpha-reductase activity responsible for converting testosterone to DHT. Thus Noni helps to prevent conversion of testosterone to DHT and thus prevents androgenic alopecia
- Noni contains abundant quantity of flavonoids. Some flavonoids present in Noni directly stimulate epithelial cell growth and check growth-inhibiting effect caused by TGF-beta2.
