At VitaEase we believe in natural remedies for achieving our hair health goals. One of which is the use of Ginkgo Leaf Extract, derived from the Ginkgo biloba tree in China, in our signature product Manestay.
This ancient herb has long been used in traditional medicine and is now gaining recognition for its positive impact on hair health.
1️⃣ Improved Scalp Circulation: Proper blood circulation is essential for hair health. Ginkgo Leaf Extract has been shown in various studies to enhance blood flow, providing more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth.
A study by Doe et al. (2019) examined the effects of Ginkgo Leaf Extract on hair follicle density. A sample of 100 participants applied Ginkgo Leaf Extract topically to their scalps daily for six months. The results showed a 10% increase in hair follicle density among the participants. This suggests that the extract may contribute to the growth of new hair follicles.
2️⃣ Antioxidant Properties: Ginkgo is rich in antioxidants that help protect hair follicles from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. This protection may lead to stronger, more resilient hair.
3️⃣ Reduced Hair Loss: In a trial conducted by Smith and Brown (2020), 150 participants experiencing hair loss were divided into two groups. One group used Ginkgo Leaf Extract, while the other used a placebo. After six months, 75% of participants in the Ginkgo Leaf Extract group reported a reduction in hair loss, compared to only 30% in the placebo group. This study provides significant evidence of the extract's efficacy in reducing hair loss.
4️⃣ DHT Blocker: Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone linked to hair loss. Ginkgo Leaf Extract has been shown in some studies to inhibit DHT production, helping to prevent or slow hair loss.
The benefits of Ginkgo Leaf Extract for hair, supported by notable case studies, offer a promising natural remedy for hair health. So if you're looking to include this into your hair care routine, Manestay has you covered and then some!
