Hair growth requires optimal delivery of oxygen and nutrients from the circulatory system to the hair follicle. Vitamin A is a key component for developing healthy cells, tissues in the body, and reducing hair loss. Additionally it works with silica and zinc to prevent drying and clogging of the sebaceous glands, the glands vital to producing sebum. Vitamin A deficiencies can commonly cause the thickening of the scalp, of dry hair and even dandruff. Moringa Oleifera with its high vitamin A content helps in the hair growth and maintenance. Zinc can stimulate hair growth through the enhancement of the immune function. Zinc deficiency can greatly result in atrophy of the hair follicles, since there is a marked impairment of DNA and protein synthesis where the zinc can influence the confirmation of the nucleic acids.
Hair loss occurs when the diet is inadequate in the B vitamins - especially B6, biotin, inositol and folic acid. Vitamin E is a known antioxidant that can stimulate the scalp through increasing blood circulation. An increase in blood circulation makes more nutrients available to the hair follicles so they can grow stronger, healthier hair. Vitamin C will be able to help in the improvement of scalp circulation. It is necessary to maintain capillaries that can carry blood onto the follicles. Moringa contains these types of nutrients that are needed for a healthy hair.
