Hair loss that everyone wants to avoid. Hair loss, which was considered exclusive to middle-aged men, has recently emerged as a major concern for the younger generation as well. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]Hair loss is no longer the exclusive property of middle-aged men. In recent years, hair loss has emerged as a major concern even among young people, and it is considered a disease that people of all ages want to avoid. As a result, more and more people are looking for biotin, a B vitamin. This is because taking 1-2 pills at home can easily prevent hair loss. Is biotin really effective in preventing and treating hair loss?
Biotin plays an important role in energy production by being involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats obtained from food. Biotin is also necessary for the production of keratin, a protein that makes up hair, nails and skin. For this reason, a lack of biotin can lead to fatigue, thinning hair, and brittle nails. Theoretically, a biotin deficiency might lead to poor hair health.
Biotin is found in a variety of foods, including eggs, crab, and oyster mushrooms. Even in the body, a small amount of biotin can be synthesized by intestinal bacteria, so it is not easily deficient. There is also insufficient evidence for the actual effect of biotin on hair loss. According to the National Health Institute, there is a high intake of biotin supplements for hair, skin, and nail health, but most of the studies supporting this have been done on a small scale.
Pharmacist Noh Yoon-jung said in her new book, ‘The Full Nutrition Deficit’, “Despite the fact that biotin deficiency rarely appears under normal circumstances, many people take biotin for hair and nail health.” “Biotin is overused as a supplement,” he said. “Even following looking at the results of numerous human trials, it is difficult to find evidence that biotin can promote hair growth or help treat hair loss,” he added.
Treatment for hair loss varies depending on the cause. Hormone-related androgenetic alopecia requires the use of drugs that suppress hormone secretion or help blood circulation in the scalp. Since circular alopecia is related to an autoimmune disease, it is necessary to take steroids that prevent inflammation of the hair follicles around hair loss. Nutrient-deficiency hair loss caused by extreme dieting requires overall nutritional supplementation, such as protein and multivitamin, first.
Noh pharmacist said, “It is more important to identify the symptoms of hair loss and treat the cause than to use biotin alone to manage hair loss.” If so, it is better to avoid products with high content.”
‘Full nutritional deficiencies’ is a guide that provides easy-to-understand information on health problems, causes, and related ingredients that are easy to appear by gender or age.
