Red clover extract effectively helps prevent hair loss in men, reports the Express edition citing a study by British scientists.
The study involved 30 men with androgenic alopecia. For four months, volunteers applied a 5% red clover extract (Trifolium pratense) to their scalp.
According to the test results, the participants in the experiment recorded 13 percent hair growth. In addition, the researchers noted that the volunteers’ hair loss cycle decreased by 29 percent. At the same time, the group that was given a placebo showed no result.
At the second stage of the study, 109 women were selected, who after 90 days noted a significant improvement in the structure, appearance and overall quality of their hair, the newspaper notes.
Earlier, New Zealand nutritionist Ryan Raman named crops, helping in the fight against baldness. The expert claims that it is beneficial to eat an avocado for hair loss. These fruits are rich in vitamin E, which protects the scalp from damage and oxidative stress. According to Raman, one avocado contains about 20 percent of the daily value of vitamin E.
