E-zy hair growth

Your hair does a lot to establish your image: in the eyes of yourself and of others. The hair replacement solutions out there can leave you looking a touch like someone has non-stick coated your cranium, although the advantage of this could be that it takes pigeons off your “adversaries to be feared” list. This news column is reluctant to report anything that promises easy hair growth solutions but a new study does seem to offer some reasonable hope for those whose follicles are throwing in the towel.

It needs to be said that aside from setting your social standard, your hair is also something of a barometer to your health. Hair loss can be due to, among other things; nutritional insufficiency, thyroid conditions, autoimmune disease, and medication side-effects. However, provided there are no disease states that need to be addressed, it seems that vitamin E may get some follicle action happening.

Although it usually occurs in supplements as d-alpha-tocopherol, vitamin E actually occurs in nature as a group of substances related to alpha-tocopherol that are known collectively as tocotrienols. These substances include alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocopherol.

In this small study men with hair loss were divided into two groups. One group received a placebo while the other group were given 100mg of mixed tocotrienols plus 46IU (international units) of alpha-tocopherol daily for eight months.

The number of scalp hairs on a specific area of a participant’s head was measured at four months and then eight months.

The results showed that those in the placebo group experienced a slight decrease in scalp hairs. By contrast those who had been taking the tocotrienols had an average 34 per cent increase in scalp hair numbers. Interestingly there was not enough increase in hair growth from tocotrienols to yield a significant increase in weight of hair clippings.

The researchers suggest that the antioxidant effects of tocotrienols might reduce damage to fats and overall oxidative stress in the scalp.

Further, bigger studies are needed to confirm the role of tocotrienols in hair regrowth but for now it appears that vitamin E may perhaps be quite a zen supplement given that it can help you to live in the hair and now.
