KELP HELPS PREVENT PREMATURE HAIR LOSS

Posted by Manny Y on 6th Apr 2015

Kelp has been used to manage thyroid troubles, boost the immune system, aid in digestion, decrease inflammatory processes, and also as a hair loss treatment. This variety of seaweed grows on rocky shores all over the world, abundant in the Pacific Ocean. Kelp thrives in shallow waters near the coastline and perceived as one our most valuable ecosystems.

Kelp is a staple food in several Asian countries. It is known as Konbu or Kombu in Japan, Miyeok or Dashima in Korea, and Haidai in China. These three countries consume a lot of this healthy sea plant than all of the other countries combined so it’s no surprise that they too are the leading suppliers and exporters of kelp products.

In recent years, kelp is becoming not just a source of food but also as an important ingredient in many commercial products, as well as an important component of herbal supplements. These brownish algae are the best source of natural minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, sodium, and iodine. Kelp is also full of B vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin E. Additionally it is an excellent source of protein.

Its anti-inflammatory effect makes it beneficial in preventing hair loss. Chronic systemic inflammation has been found to be the root of many disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, asthma, arthritis, as well as pattern baldness.

Lack of iron, B vitamins, protein, and essential minerals has been shown to trigger hair loss. Acclaimed as a superfood, kelp is naturally packed with these vital nutrients, thus helping in healthy hair growth. As a good source of vitamin E, it has antioxidant properties to stop premature hair ageing.

Overall, kelp is very good in maintaining the body’s general health because it’s filled with important vitamins and minerals. It is packed with protein, it is high in fibre and has zero fat. Additionally, it also appears to be a valuable natural aid to improve hair growth and control premature hair loss.
