What is AnaGain? Why do we use it in our hair growth capsules?

AnaGain™ is a unique ingredient based on young pea sprouts of organic peas. There are many health benefits that are attributed to pulses such as peas. They belong to the family of fabaceae. This family of plants are rich in isoflavones, a class of polyphenolic secondary plant metabolites, whose role it is to protect the plants from things such as disease, damage, pathogens, drought and pollutants. Many of these phytochemicals are known to exert beneficial effects on human health or play an active role in fighting diseases. Sprouts – the young shoots of a plant that develop from germinating seeds are especially vulnerable, and so secondary metabolites are very abundant at this stage. In fact, a few day-old sprouts have the highest concentration of healthy nutrients per calorie of any food. This high concentration of isoflavones in pea sprouts makes it the ideal ingredient to incorporate into Hellenia’s hair care formula – HairCare Plus.

Backed by research AnaGain™ was found in an anti-hair loss study to significantly increase the ratio of anagen (growing) hair to telogen (resting/degenerating) hair, thus improving hair growth. AnaGain™ also been found to reactivate hair growth by stimulating the dermal papilla signalling molecules which are key to the hair growth cycle. It boosts the expression of the noggin gene which results in a shorter resting period, and it also enhances the expression of the fibroblast growth factor-7 gene, which in turn stimulates the proliferation of hair germ cells to trigger the anagen growth phase.

Hellenia HairCare+ has been developed to prevent and stop the hair loss process and stimulate hair growth, for fuller and thicker looking hair. Combining AnaGain™ for its stimulatory effect on hair growth along with additional herbs, vitamins and minerals targeting health and hair, creates a winning formula that can be added into your diet easily with just 2 capsules per day. Each bottle gives a one-month supply.
