From the manufacturer Proteoglycans and follicle function Proteoglycans are biological molecules that are found extensively within the human body. These molecules govern certain processes within the body, and research into the mechanism of the hair follicle has shown that proteoglycans play a vital role in hair growth and the regulation of the Hair Growth Cycle in follicles** The role of the proteoglycans in hair follicles is to act as signal receptors and disseminators, to regulate the procession of the hair follicle through the 3 stages of the Hair Growth Cycle: Growth (Anagen), Transition (Catagen), Rest (Telogen). On average, it should take around 3-5 years for the follicle to complete this cycle, before coming full circle and re-entering the Anagen phase. In a healthy Hair Growth Cycle around 85-90% of follicles are in the growth phase at any point, with the remainder in the transition or resting phases. Once completed, the follicle sheds the old hair to create a new hair and re-enters the growth phase to commence a new Hair Growth Cycle Proteoglycans in a disrupted Hair Growth Cycle Extensive research has shown that during Hair Growth Cycle disruptions, levels of proteoglycans in follicles are reduced***, which in turn disrupts follicles’ ability to maintain a normal, healthy Cycle, resulting in hair thinning or loss. In a disrupted Cycle the growth phase becomes shortened, resulting in more hairs prematurely entering the transition phase, before moving into the resting phase As a result of depleted proteoglycan levels, the resting phase is prolonged as the follicle is unable to interpret the signals to move back into the growth phase after shedding the incumbent hair. The increase in follicles prematurely entering the resting phase leads to increased shedding, while the prolongation results in fewer follicles re-entering the growth phase, meaning weak or no regrowth **British Journal of Dermatology 2008 (158;2) ***Journal Cosmetology & Trichology 2016 (2;1) There are many causes of hair thinning and excess shedding in men, the most common of which is genetic hair loss (male pattern hair loss), but the causes can be as diverse as illnesses and health conditions ranging from diabetes and hypertension to hyperthyroidism, stress, over-styling, age, plus many others. Each of these can affect the natural equilibrium of the body’s Hair Growth Cycle, leading to a depletion of proteoglycans within the follicle and, consequently, a disruption to hair growth*** The Nourkrin Effect Replenishing the levels of proteoglycans within the follicle can induce dormant follicles back into the growth (Anagen) phase of the cycle, resulting in a normalised and revitalised Hair Growth Cycle, helping to increase hair growth and hair quality. Nourkrin is the only brand to contain Marilex-M, a source of specific proteoglycans critical for male hair follicle function and cycling. 30 years of clinical research and development Nourkrin is the only brand to contain Marilex-M, which is rich in specific proteoglycans and is the result of research pioneered in 1978, leading to a development programme comprising over 100 scientific and clinical publications^ More than 30 years of clinical development and research into hair growth disorders of all types and etiologies, means that Nourkrin is recommended by dermatologists and trichologists the world over. ^Dermatology Research and Practice 2020(5;2020) ^^Journal of Applied Cosmetology 2015(32;105) Nourkrin Man For Hair Growth and Preservation Nourkrin Man is scientifically formulated to help maintain a normal Hair Growth Cycle, thereby helping promote normal healthy hair growth. Working together with the normal Hair Growth Cycle, Marilex-M helps to support the overall life, function, structure and health of the hair follicle against the negative influence of DHT, as well as against imbalances caused by temporary factors such as stress or illness.
