Resveratrol benefits that will help you with unhealthy hair

5 Min Read

Nutrafol recently covered topics such as “What is resveratrol?” and what nutrients contain the substance. So, it should come as no surprise that the next article our resveratrol series is about resveratrol’s benefits.

What are the benefits of resveratrol?

In a previous article, we discussed that for people experiencing hair loss associated with aging, using resveratrol supplements can help. But how exactly does this work?

A study made 2011 in Archives of Biochemistry & Biophysics found that resveratrol was shown to have many therapeutic effects on diseases and disorders. This including those diseases of the skin.

Resveratrols function when it comes to the skin is that it helps to protect it. It protects skin from damage and shows promise in addressing issues related to skin aging. Which is why resveratrol is so wittily referred to as the pharmaceutical fountain of youth.

Now, you may wonder what all this jabbing about skin and skin diseases have to do with resveratrol and hair. You see, hair follicles are located within the dermis, one layer of the organ that is your… that is right, your skin.

So overall poor health of the skin will impact the ability of the hair follicle to function normally. A condition that can lead to thinning hair or even hair loss. The role resveratrol plays in promoting healthy skin is one of the contributions it makes in the body’s ability to grow hair

And another study…

…released in 2013 made by the Oxford Journal studied the link between resveratrol and improvements in cardiometabolic health. One of many resveratrol benefits that this study did highlight was the potential for improved endothelial function. Endothelial, you may ask? Endothelial function. You see, suffering from an endothelial dysfunction, may have serious effects on your wellness. Meaning that this could cause reduced blood flow to the hair follicles. Which can lead to a reduction in its ability to stimulate continued growth of the hair. And we all know that blood flow to the hair follicles is incredibly important for the survival of the hair.

Wrapping it up

The resveratrol benefits are…

  • Improves overall cardiovascular health, which promotes full body wellness
  • Reduces the effect of age-related issues which includes age-related hair issues
  • Improves overall health and reduces effects of underlying issues related to unhealthy hair
  • Improves endothelial function which can help promote blood flow to the hair follicles which is important if you want your hair to grow
