The stress - hair connection.
When we are stressed, our adrenal glands release cortisol. Cortisol signals the hair follicle to prematurely shift from growth to rest, where the hair can no longer grow.
Normally, the hair growth cycle will start again, but continued stress delays the process.
The good news? The powerful adaptogens in Nutrafol support the body’s stress response and in turn improve hair growth with less shedding.
How stress stunts hair growth.
It all starts with cortisol.
Cortisol is a hormone primarily produced by the adrenal glands in order to help your body react to stressful situations. New research shows it’s also created in the scalp. Chronic stress can lead to elevated levels of this hair-damaging hormone.
How this affects the follicles.
Follicles are very sensitive to cortisol. Research has shown that the hair follicle actually has its own internal stress axis that produces cortisol in response to stressors. When the hair follicle is signaled by cortisol, the growth cycle shifts from the anagen (growth) phase to catagen (rest) phase prematurely. This means hair is no longer actively growing, and is preparing to fall out. When there are more hair follicles in catagen than in anagen, you may notice excessive hair shedding–more than 100 hairs per day.
| Benefits | Stress Adaptogen MD was developed with four standardized stress adaptogens that holistically support the normal function of the HPA axis by targeting upstream, midstream, and downstream components of the HPA feedback loop as it relates to hair. Balances stress hormones – Contains stress adaptogens shown to tone the HPA axis, balance cortisol hormones, and improve mental fatigue and general well-being. Builds stress resilience – Features phyto-actives known to help the body recover from stress faster and build adaptation. Immune system modulation – Stress adaptogens are known to support the immune system when triggered by stress. |
