How Does Adenosine Triphosphate Help with Hair Loss HairMD Pune

Our hair comprises 3 layers that are cuticle, cortex, and medulla. The sebaceous glands create sebum to coat the hair and scalp and keep it nourished.

We lose about 50-100 strands every day, and the constant renewal of hair replaces these fallen strands with new hair. When there is an imbalance or deficiency in our scalp tissues or body, hair starts to recede and slowly, the process of balding starts.

The body produces various active ingredients to repair any kind of loss, deficiency, or damage. Adenosine Triphosphate is one such active ingredient that the body produces naturally. It is an essential source of energy because our body cells directly use the fuel energy produced by Adenosine Triphosphate to speed up the repair process.

Is Adenosine Triphosphate for Hair Loss Effective?

When the body experiences dietary deficiencies, it can limit the supply of energy and important nutrients to the hair, making it enter the telogen or shedding phase prematurely. Adenosine Triphosphate, or ATP, has an incredible effect on hair cells. The energies of ATP fuel the cells, which are right at the heart of the follicles, to maintain the anagen phase of hair.

ATP’s triple-action affects the dermal papilla extending the life of hair and protecting against gradual hair loss. Adenosine reduces hair loss and stimulates hair growth, and helps to thicken the hair shafts.

Adenosine has also proven to be useful in treating female pattern hair loss and androgenetic alopecia in men.

Topical hair loss supplements like minoxidil are adenosine-triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opener that stimulates the production of vascular endothelial growth factors, promoting hair growth in dermal papilla cells.

You can seek a hair doctor’s advice for topical supplements, including Adenosine triphosphate, for your hair loss conditions.
