Pil-Food- Hair care from within
Every single one of the hair (‘pil’ in latin) found on an average head is made up of two parts, which are the root
and the hair shaft. The root is nourished by blood via the papilla; while the visible hair shaft is largely made up of a
protein called keratin. Our bodies are incapable of directly absorbing keratin but can, however, utilise amino acids
to produce it. Keratin is also the same component found in your nails. Therefore, appropriate nutrition is important
to make healthier hair and nails.
Essential nutrients that may reduce hair loss and strengthen existing hair:

Sulphurated amino acids. DL-Methionine and L-Cystine are the essential sulphur-containing amino acids
that act as the building blocks for the formation of keratin.

Vitamin B group, especially biotin and panthothenic acid, promote hair growth. The selected combination
of B vitamins is essential for the biosynthesis of keratin.

Vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant, reinforces the protection against inflammatory reaction mediators.

The hydrolysate of lactalbumin and millet extract complement the action of amino acids. The millet
extract is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and contains additional key trace elements. Obtained naturally
from millet extract, minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, manganese and iodine can help in preventing
scalp problems.
A variety of factors including inappropriate hair treatment, medication, radiation, exposure to chemicals,
overexposure to sun and sea, hormonal and nutritional factors, thyroid diseases, skin diseases, stress, and post
natal hair loss can affect hair growth and promote hair loss.
The nutritional boost for a healthy mane should be taken at the first signs of hair problems as it prolongs the life
cycle of hair and prevents any further deterioration. It is also important to choose a formula that does not
contain hormone to avoid undesirable side effects such as unintended hair growth in other areas of the body.
