Study: Pycnogenol® Shown to Improve Hair Density in Menopausal Women
1 Nov 2023
Peer-reviewed, published research adds to Pycnogenol®’s catalog of research in menopause and beauty, revealing new benefits for the celebrated super-antioxidant to address hair density.
GENEVA, Switzerland – A new double-blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled study reveals a natural, safe and effective path for women who face hair thinning, a condition commonly experienced in menopause. The new study, conducted with menopausal women, found oral intake of Pycnogenol® to significantly increase hair density, decrease transepidermal water loss in scalp skin and optimize resting flux of the scalp. The researchers’ conclusions show Pycnogenol® helps support hair density in menopausal women.
“Hormonal changes during menopause can affect hair growth rate, hair diameter and diameter distribution. Scalp hair density often decreases with age, leading to a heightened perception of hair thinning,” says author and renowned natural physician, Dr. Fred Pescatore. “Poor hair quality can have a significant psychological impact and may even lead to increased anxiety and depression. For women seeking hair health support and those frustrated by hair loss during menopause or a continued pattern of hair thinning, this study reveals a new application for an ingredient that has proven antioxidant and circulatory benefits, in addition to its already established benefits in menopause and skin care.”
“This study included various complex and sophisticated measurement tools, which embeds an added layer of trust in the results of this study for those looking for a natural path to address female pattern hair loss or overall hair health,” said Pescatore. “Pycnogenol® is a leading ingredient for circulation, healthy skin, joint health and more, supported as safe and effective by 40 years of research. This study reveals an exciting new application of a trusted and effective ingredient with powerful antioxidant properties to benefit hair quality.”
Horphag Research is committed to further investigate how Pycnogenol® intake improves hair density in future clinical trials.
