Turmeric, the natural antioxidant that reduces hair loss

Turmeric is a spice that has aroused a lot of interest both in the medical and scientific world, as well as in the culinary world for all its properties. In this article I tell you what they are and what benefits they have for both the hair and the entire body .

What is turmeric and what properties does it have?

Turmeric is a perennial plant of the ginger family and one of the main sources of curcumin , one of the most powerful antioxidant components that turmeric has .

Turmeric has been traditionally used in Asian countries as a medicinal herb due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties .

Thanks to these properties, turmeric is able to counteract the inflammatory response caused by aging, stress and the environment that can damage hair . In fact, there are studies that show how curcumin improves blood or tissue levels of oxidative stress.

How is Cursol® Turmeric obtained?

Despite its benefits through inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms, one of the main problems with curcumin consumption is its poor bioavailability . That is, our body absorbs it in a very low proportion and at a very low speed, quickly eliminating it from our body.

Cursol®, a component that includes Olistic , is a high-quality and optimized dry extract of turmeric that combines a unique formula with a patented drying process that allows maximum preservation of the active ingredient. In this way, it offers a highly soluble and easily absorbed curcumin, which translates into more bioavailability in our body .

How can turmeric stop my hair loss?

Some studies have shown that it may offer benefits for hair growth and scalp health . For example, it has been reported that turmeric used on the skin can help treat the scaling and redness of scalp psoriasis , a skin condition that can cause temporary hair loss.

Another early-stage study suggests that curcumin may help reduce the amount of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body . This may be relevant to the treatment of hair loss , as DHT is involved in the miniaturization of hair follicles causing androgenetic alopecia .

While preliminary studies are encouraging, more studies are needed to determine the role of turmeric in androgenetic alopecia and other types of alopecia.

What precautions should we take when consuming turmeric?

Turmeric and curcumin extracts have so far proven to be safe, with no significant side effects .

However, it is important to know that natural products can also have effects on our body that we must monitor. Curcumin, for example, may have an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation and could interact with anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications . Additionally, curcumin can stimulate contractions of the gallbladder, increasing symptoms in patients with gallstones .

Therefore, if you suffer from any of these pathologies, it is important that you consult with your doctor first.

Olistic 's formulation has turmeric along with other antioxidants in a single treatment . In this way, thanks to the combination of different ingredients, they act synergistically , enhancing their properties and benefits on our body.

In addition to our body's antioxidant defense systems, the consumption of antioxidants in the diet or through nutricosmetics such as Olistic can help our hair grow healthily, preventing its weakening and loss .
