Common Causes Of Hair Loss And How Nourkrin Can Help

Hair loss is not an uncommon condition. While it is generally not life-threatening, it can be highly distressing and have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life.¹

Hair loss can occur in obvious patterns, such as bald patches or subtler forms, like diffuse hair loss. When visiting a physician for these conditions, they will likely try to discern if the hair loss has caused scarring and if it is reversible.¹ Scarring can be indicative of more serious conditions like certain inflammatory hairloss disorders, so you should get yourself checked at a dermatology clinic with extensive experience in hair disorders immediately to decide your next course of action.

Depending on the pattern and nature of hair loss, the aetiology can vary. From genetics to ageing to hormonal complications, alopecia (hair loss) is a condition that can arise due to a broad range of factors.

Two of the more common causes of hair loss in recent times have been postpartum hair loss and hair loss due to Covid. This article covers all you need to know about alopecia from these factors and how Nourkrin, a hair loss supplement, can aid recovery.

Postpartum hair loss

Women tend to undergo hair loss postpartum, an effect that is known as telogen effluvium. When an individual is pregnant, the exogen phase of hair growth (wherein hair is shed) is hindered, hence why pregnant women tend to have thicker hair. Once the child is born, however, the hair growth cycle is reoriented and concludes with a simultaneous telogen-teloptosis process.²

During this phase, it can seem like hair loss is occurring at worrying rates because of the additional shedding to compensate for the lack of hair loss during pregnancy.²

Postpartum hair loss is fairly common but can cause panic in many women experiencing it for the first time. This phase of hair loss can happen two to four months post giving birth and last for months, though rarely more than 15 months.²

This form of hair loss occurs in a diffuse pattern and after many weeks, almost all hair is replaced, provided there is no other occurrence of female pattern hair loss.²

Hair loss due to COVID-19

Since the advent of the global pandemic due to the coronavirus outbreak, various reports of health issues have arisen. The presentation of COVID-19 can range from asymptomatic to a multi-organ disease threatening lives. Mainly, the virus attacks the respiratory system.³

Studies have shown a significant relationship between the severity of pattern hair loss and those hospitalised with Covid-19. This is in comparison to people of the same age group who were uninfected.³

It is possible that the psychological complications associated with COVID-19 could have caused the worsening, or appearance of hair loss. Treatments for diffuse hair loss in both men and women are not readily available, limited only to options like topical or oral minoxidil.³

How Nourkrin can help

Disruptions in the cycle of hair growth can result in hair loss and hair thinning. These disruptions can be attributed to the loss of proteoglycans in the hair follicle, a protein crucial to hair growth.⁴

Over time, the damage to the hair follicle may become miniaturised due to Proteoglycan Follicular Atrophy (PFA). It will not be able to produce the proteoglycans needed, and the length of the growth cycle is lessened, minimising hair growth while exacerbating visible hair loss.⁴

Treatments for this issue tend to produce unwanted side effects with little to no improvement. Most available remedies are also unable to address the difference between male and female pattern hair loss. Additionally, even with clear evidence that shows the vital role of proteoglycans and the results of its interrupted synthesis, conventional treatments rarely target PFA.⁴

Nourkrin has the support of over three decades of thorough and credible research and studies. Hair Growth+ inCLINIC by Nourkrin® is a trusted Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy that can help with reducing any hair loss.

Made with Marilex®-P, acquired through fractioned fish extract, it prevents the miniaturisation of follicles by distributing bioactive proteoglycans during the anagen (visible growth) phase of hair growth.⁵

To catalyse hair growth, you should consume one tablet in the morning and two at night. For maximum effect, the tablets should be taken after eating. In order to maintain the results, you can reduce your dosage to two tablets per day.

Studies show that results after taking Nourkrin supplements became visible as quickly as three to four months after consumption. The rates of success improved further after six months of taking the tablets, indicating long-term satisfaction.⁵

Nourkrin also contains in-vivo anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the effect of inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones on hair follicles. This prevents early catagen (transitional hair phase in hair growth where little to no growth occurs) initiation while boosting proteoglycans that induce growth in inactive hair follicles.³

Additionally, the additional cortisol produced in a person with COVID-19 can degrade matrix proteoglycans and interrupt the cycle of hair growth. With Nourkrin, the impact of cortisol is tempered by the introduction of concentrated proteoglycans.³

Conclusion

In effect, Nourkrin is perfect for the treatment of stress-induced hair loss and hair loss that occurs due to the contraction of COVID-19.
