Go to new lengths to RESTORE hair… with this ‘pod’ secret!
You stare at the mirror… watching the light reflect off your scalp.
You remember when you USED to have hair there…
But now it’s SO thin… there’s no covering it up.
No matter HOW you comb whatever hair you’ve got left… you’re not fooling anyone.
This isn’t just for guys…
Because hair loss strikes plenty of gals, too.
And it can be a DEVASTATING blow to your self-confidence.
Fortunately, there’s an old folk cure for hair loss that’s getting some modern-day attention in the scientific community.
Here’s the latest.
Now, you’ve probably heard of some pretty silly “home cures” for baldness…
But if you’re losing your hair, you’ll probably try ANYTHING to help it grow back!
Fortunately, many of these so-called “wives’ tales” are pretty harmless… and use ingredients you might have lying around the house.
You’ve read right here in eAlert how onion juice and pumpkin seed oil are science-backed methods of REGROWING lost hair…
But today, I’m going to talk to you about peas.
That’s right – those little legumes that rolled around your plate when you were a kid.
You may not have wanted to EAT them back then…
But it turns out that when applied topically, certain pea products could be hair regrowth heroes!
Hydrolyzed pea protein, for instance, contains protein building blocks called amino acids that BIND to the hair cuticle to PREVENT breakage.
And when you’ve lost any hair, you’ll want to make sure you don’t lose ANY more!
But there’s more…
Because topical pea shoot extract (or the extract from the pea plant’s leaves) has been shown to ZERO IN on hair follicles…
Where it helps new hairs start to grow from scratch…
And improve overall hair density.
That may be because of the presence of the amino acid L-arginine, which has shown specifically to target the cells surrounding hair follicles…
By helping BOOST blood flow to the tiny vessels in that area of your scalp.
Not only that… but in a 2019 study, consuming a food-grade pea sprout extract product was associated with REDUCED hair loss.
After just 28 days, study participants shed 33% FEWER hairs!
One of the advantages of CONSUMING pea extract… rather than simply APPLYING it to your hairline… is its rich content of biotin.
Biotin is actually a B vitamin (a.k.a. vitamin B7) – but you may know it best as a “hair vitamin”!
And it works to help strengthen hair and reduce shedding both externally… like when you apply it to your scalp… and internally!
You COULD take biotin supplements…
But research shows that this vitamin alone may not be enough to address hair loss.
With pea products, you get biotin… PLUS amino acids like L-arginine…
And even some vitamin E, too!
Of course, you’ll want to address the “root” cause of your hair loss…
Which could be anything from stress to hormone imbalances… drugs or other medical treatments (like chemo and radiation)… and even scalp infections.
But if you’re looking for a way to support hair growth and reduce hair loss while you’re still figuring out the culprit (which COULD just be genetics and/or age), peas seem incredibly safe and worth a try.
The pea sprout extract used in the study I mentioned earlier is a patented version sold under the brand name AnaGain…
Which can be found as an ingredient in supplements in capsule form… vitamin “gummies”… shampoos… serums and other topical treatments.
But don’t be surprised if you start seeing peas listed in more and more hair products!
In the meantime, you can also search online for “recipes” to make your own homemade hair masque using mashed-up peas and other ingredients (like yogurt or coconut oil).
To having a good hair day,
