TRICO HEALTH is a blend of plant extracts, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins whose synergy supports women’s hair health.

A common disorder among women, especially at certain times of the year, is hair loss, which can be an indicator of stress, a simple change of season, hormonal imbalances, or one or more nutritional imbalances. Hair loss is a more common condition than we think, with almost 50% of men and women over the age of 50 affected by this aesthetic problem (Rogers et al., J Am Acad Dermatol, 2008). This is a typical disorder where the best treatment is prevention.

TRICO HEALTH is a dietary supplement specifically designed and developed for women’s hair health. It is a product with a wide range of nutrients (as many as 12 active ingredients in one product) with very important dosages.

A prominent role is played by the Annurca apple from Campania IGP. This apple cultivar is characterized by having a 2 to 4 times higher content of procyanidins B compared to other cultivars. Procyanidins B, particularly procyanidin B2, which is abundant in the Annurca apple, are phytonutrients abundant in apples with strong protective and anti-inflammatory effects on the hair bulb. A study observed surprising results in terms of increased hair growth, density, and keratin content after just a couple of months of oral intake of an Annurca apple extract (Tenore et al., J Med Food, 2018).

Ginkgo biloba extract promotes hair regrowth by stimulating follicle proliferation (Patel et al., Curr Drug Discov Technol, 2015).

Nettle extract, on the other hand, contributes to the well-being of nails and hair.

The synergy of vitamin C and vitamin E is very important as they form an antioxidant barrier against oxidative stress, one of the contributing causes of hair loss. Additionally, vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis in our body. Collagen is a protein that is part of the hair structure, giving hair its elastic and resistant properties.

Selenium plays a role in hair follicle morphogenesis and, along with biotin and zinc, in the maintenance of normal hair; a deficiency in selenium has been shown to result in poor and irregular hair growth (Bates et al., Endocrinology, 2000).

Completing and maximizing the action of Trico Health are the amino acids L-Lysine and L-Cysteine, whose deficiency is often associated with poor hair health and hair loss. L-cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, important in the disulfide bridges of hair proteins (for example, to give vitality to curly hair).
