The main causes of hair loss
Losing between 50 and 100 hairs a day is normal. Beyond that, several causes should be considered: nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, biotin, B vitamins), chronic stress (telogen effluvium), hormonal fluctuations, androgenetic alopecia, thyroid problems, or a lack of protein.
Key nutrients to stop hair loss
Biotin
Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair (EFSA claim). It plays a role in keratinization — the formation of keratin that structures hair.
Zinc
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair (EFSA claim). It regulates sebum production, inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, and contributes to follicle cell division.
Selenium
Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair (EFSA claim) and protects cells against oxidative stress.
Sulfur-containing amino acids
Keratin is particularly rich in methionine and cysteine. These amino acids provide the building blocks for hair.
Nettle and horsetail
Rich in bioavailable silica, these plants help strengthen hair.
Saw palmetto
A natural inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase, saw palmetto slows the conversion of testosterone into DHT, slowing follicle miniaturization. Particularly studied for male androgenetic alopecia.
Hair and Nail Course or Men's Anti-Hair Loss Course: how to choose?
The Epycure Hair and Nail Course is a combination formula for weakened, brittle, or increasingly falling hair — for both women and men. The Men's Anti-Hair Loss Course specifically includes anti-DHT ingredients (saw palmetto, zinc) for androgenetic alopecia.
How long does it take to see regrowth?
The hair growth cycle is long. The first signs of improvement appear after 2 to 3 months. Patience is essential — the complete hair growth cycle lasts 3 to 6 months.
Dietary supplements. In case of sudden and significant hair loss, consult a doctor for a complete assessment.
