TRICO STRONG is a blend of plant extracts, minerals, and vitamins whose synergy supports men’s hair health.

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). It is essential to emphasize that this is a typical disorder where the best treatment is prevention.

TRICO STRONG is a dietary supplement specifically designed and developed for men’s hair health. It is a product with selected nutrients in their composition and dosages to provide scalp protection in various ways.

A fundamental 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).

Also very important is the action of Serenoa repens extract, whose active principles act as inhibitors of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts the male hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a molecule that appears to be closely related to the onset of androgenetic alopecia. A recent study showed that Serenoa repens increases the vitality of hair follicle cells, keratinocytes, and is able to promote hair regeneration and repair (Zhu et al., Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci, 2018).

Millet extract, on the other hand, contributes to the well-being of nails and hair and has proven effective in combating alopecia (Gardani et al., Minerva Med, 2007).

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).
