Moringa Oleifera for Hair.
The overall condition of our body is reflected by appearance of our
hair. If the body is healthy and well-nourished, the hair will be
shining glory. If there are any health problems or nutritional
deficiencies, the hair may stop growing or show damage or become
brittle. Daily intake of vitamins and minerals play a huge role in
keeping the hair healthy. Certain vitamins, minerals and amino-acids
are crucial to the metabolic pathways involved in keratin protein
(hair) metabolism.
Moringa oleifera leaves obtained from Moringa oleifera
tree, as a supplement provide 4 times the calcium in milk, 4 times
the potassium in banana, 4 times the Vitamin A in carrot, 25 times the
iron in spinach and 7 times Vitamin C content in orange. The
nutrients present in Moringa are of high biological value as it is
easily absorbed by the body compare to synthetic supplements.
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 commonly cause thickening of the scalp, dry
hair, and dandruff. Moringa with its high vitamin A content helps in
the hair growth and maintenance. Zinc stimulates hair growth by
enhancing immune function. Zinc deficiency will result in atrophy of
the hair follicles as there is a marked impairment of DNA and protein
synthesis where zinc influences the confirmation of nucleic acids.
Hair
loss occurs when the diet is inadequate in the B vitamins - especially
B6, biotin, inositol and folic acid. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that
stimulates the scalp by 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 aids in improving
scalp circulation. It is important to maintain capillaries that carry
blood to the follicles. Moringa contains these nutrients needed for the
healthy hair.
Moringa oleifera has Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2,
Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and
Vitamin K. The list of Minerals present in Moringa is abundant and few
of the main minerals include Calcium, Copper, Iron, Potassium,
Magnesium, Manganese and Zinc. Research has shown that in our hurry up
world of fast food, and extreme work schedules we have developed
extraordinarily poor eating habits. This extremely poor diet affecting
our general health and energy levels and makes our fingernails weaker
and our hair thinner and far less healthier.
Moringa oleifera contains 90+ nutrients and 46 antioxidants. It contains
almost all the necessary vitamin, micro and macro minerals for the cell
function
