Resveratrol and Hair Growth

Resveratrol, the red wine extract that explained away the French Paradox that enabled the French to live longer healthier lives despite consuming the same or even higher levels of cholesterol-rich foods that have sent millions of Americans to suffer cardiovascular ailments and even death, has achieved celebrity media attention over the last few years due to its versatile health benefits.

There are now countless food supplements carrying Resveratrol in varying concentrations that many people swear by as enhancing their health and treating ailments even those not yet verified in lab researches.

Restoring Hair Growth Using Resveratrol

The world of health care is not wanting in pharmaceutical products and home-grown herbal concoctions that promise hair growth to reverse balding conditions in both men and women.

Reducing the action of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase in converting the hormone testosterone into DHT to arrest hair loss is an established medical fact. Resveratrol’s reputation as an anti-aging antioxidant has yet to be tested if its enzyme-inhibiting properties can be harnessed not only to arrest balding but induce hair growth as well.

One common theme in aging is the programmed switching-off of DNA function. Researches have found Resveratrol to activate the enzyme SIRT1 that guards the DNA from switching off and thus promote DNA repair and regulation to slow down the aging process. If this can be achieved at the cellular level in hair follicles, then you have the promise of hair rejuvenation.

One promising study conducted recently has to do with Resveratrol in combination with the compound curcumin, another polyphenol found in the Indian spice turmeric of the ginger family.

People who eat spicy Indian curry with red wine may already be benefiting from their medicinal value in combating cancer, inflammation and regrowing hair. An Italian company has filed a patent request for hair loss supplement containing both substances and a thriving discussion of their benefits abound in hair loss forums online. There are studies underway to verify and confirm the promised hair growth benefits of Resveratrol and curcumin.
