An ancient natural remedy is back in vogue with the approval not only of the grandmother, but also of science: eggs on the head to prevent baldness and hair loss. Not only for thick and shiny hair, egg yolk, according to a study, is also able to fight alopecia.

This is confirmed by a research by the Department of Regenerative Dermatology of the Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, in Japan, according to which it is precisely in the yolk that a possible natural compound against hair loss is hidden.

Named "Hgp"(Hair grow peptide), this element would be able to stimulate hair growth and could serve and function fully as an alternative to the drugs available today, without the dreaded side effects. Alopecia, therefore, may one day be curbed by returning to the old ways.

“Alopecia is divided into two categories: androgenetic and non-androgenetic. An abnormality of androgen-dependent biological functions causes alopecia in males, but the role of androgens in female hair loss has not yet been elucidated. The modulation of androgenic activity, in fact, is not effective in some types of female androgenetic alopecia, as it is not effective in cases of male or female non-androgenetic alopecia ”, explain the authors.

Assuming that plumage begins to develop early in chickens, 14-15 days after hatching, the researchers hypothesized that a key factor for hair growth is precisely in the chicken egg.

In fact, the study showed that water-soluble peptides derived from the yolk stimulate the production of a vascular endothelial growth factor (the same stimulated by a well-known anti-baldness drug), and therefore “the growth of the cells of the dermal papilla of the human hair follicle. We also found that these peptides improve hair growth in mice, and hair growth in female pattern baldness. "

In light of these discoveries, the creation of some new medical elaboration will probably now be studied. Meanwhile, here are 10 natural remedies to strengthen our hair.
