Hair Loss Remedy From Grape Seeds

Michael Stork wakes up in the right side of the bed almost every day

. Unfortunately, there is always that one thing that bursts his bubble: his receding hairline. Concealing the baldness has been a major morning chore for Michael.

But he is not alone in this plight. Like him, millions of men, young and old, around the world are suffering from a condition called androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness.

The key to androgenetic alopecia is the hormone derivative, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the product of the interaction between the type II 5-alpha reductase enzyme and testosterone. DHT binds with the androgen receptor sites in the hair follicle cells, altering the mechanism of absorption of the nutrients within cells of the hair follicles. This results in the malnutrition of the follicles and reduction of their size. Hair loss then ensues.

Fortunately, conventional treatments for AGA are directed towards blocking androgen receptors, competing for binding sites, and altering androgen production. But most anti-androgen therapies like finasteride and dutasteride include adverse and potentially permanent sexually related side effects. There is a promising hair loss remedy which is similarly accessible to anti-androgen therapies minus the side effects: grape seed extracts.

There are clinical studies suggesting the efficacy of grape seed extracts in preventing hair loss and stimulating hair growth. Grape seed extracts contain powerful anti-oxidants and anti-androgenic properties which make them a very potent

hair loss treatment. These extracts contain oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), natural flavonoids that keep the cell membrane from potential damage caused by free radicals.OPCs are also clinically observed to be a very effective hair loss remedy as it is a good anti-androgen and a growth stimulant. It affects DHT production and reverses the hair loss process by slowing down the telogen phase and accelerating the growth phase.

Besides OPCs, grape seed extracts also contain catechins, the major anti-oxidative component in green tea extracts, which also possess the ability to prevent the action of type II 5-AR on testosterone. Therefore, it reduces the levels of DHT and simultaneously reduces its effects on hair growth.The daily recommended dosage of this grape seed extracts hair loss remedy in any form is between 75 to 450 mg. Overdosing can cause side effects including headaches, dry, itchy scalp, dizziness and nausea.
