Menopause, Hair Loss, and Thymuskin®

When most people think of menopause – the natural decline of reproductive hormones experienced by women between their 40s and 50s, which can last between 7 to 14 years – a few common symptoms come to mind, such as “hot flashes,” weight gain, dry skin, and difficulty sleeping. These symptoms, and more, are the result of a reduction of estrogen and progesterone, hormones that are made by the ovaries.

Complicating matters further, another common symptom of menopause can be thinning of the hair. This makes sense, as both estrogen and progesterone help hair grow and are partly responsible for the speed of hair growth as well as how long it stays on the head. Further, the reduction of estrogen and progesterone also triggers the increased production of androgens: male sex hormones, which shrink hair follicles, significantly contributing to hair loss. This one-two punch is very common; an estimated 50% of women will experience noticeable hair loss during their life, with menopause being a period of most noticeable change.

There are different ways to approach the treatment of hair loss during menopause, including cosmetic choices and dietary interventions. For example, avoiding the use of hair straighteners and heat sources (e.g., hair dryers, curling irons, etc.) can help protect delicate hair. Ensuring adequate nutrition, through the consumption of a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, is also an important step in providing the body the nutrients it needs to sustain optimal hair growth and health. While such interventions may be helpful in terms of slowing hair loss, in many cases, they aren’t sufficient to adequately treat the condition or to reverse the thinning trend.

Fortunately, science has been able to provide an additional avenue of support for women (and men) who experience hair loss due to hormonal changes. Using proprietary technology and extracts, Thymuskin® hair shampoo and serum support hair growth and maintenance in several ways. First, Thymuskin® works to prolong the natural growth cycle of hair by blocking specific enzymes involved in the dying of hair follicles and the shedding of hair fibers. Second, follicles are rejuvenated by activating keratinocytes (a type of cell found in the skin), which help form and activate hair follicles. Finally, Thymuskin® products actively encourage hair growth by stimulating various thymic peptides that nourish hair follicles to boost hair growth and increase the growing phase.

There are many different hair products on the market today. With Thymuskin®, you can be assured that you are using products that work. Rigorous research performed at skin clinics and hospitals around the world underscores how successful Thymuskin® is at significantly reducing hair loss and promoting hair growth with no reported side effects. Following Thymuskin® protocols may be just what you need to turn the corner on any hair loss or thinning that you may be experiencing due to menopause.
