Do Beard Growth supplements work? A scientific perspective

If you've ever wondered, "Do beard growth supplements really work?" you are not alone. This question often surfaces when individuals start considering ways to enhance their beard growth. Today we’ll unravel this question by looking at it from a scientific point of view. I’ll promise to keep it relatively short.

Understanding Beard Growth Supplements

Beard growth supplements are products containing specific nutrients to support hair growth and health. Some of these key nutrients include Biotin, vitamins like B6 and B12, and minerals such as Zinc, Copper, and Selenium.

How Supplements Support Beard Growth

Beard growth supplements are not magic potions that produce instant hair growth. Instead, they provide your body with the necessary nutrients that help optimise the conditions for healthier and better beard growth. They're essentially nourishing your body from within, ensuring your hair follicles get the right kind of support.

The Effectiveness of Beard Growth Supplements

"Do beard growth supplements really work?" The answer, as with many health and wellness questions, is not straightforward. The effectiveness of these supplements largely depends on individual factors such as your body's response, your current nutritional status, and your consistency in taking the supplements.

How do beard growth supplements work - The EFSA View

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has conducted numerous studies on the nutrients often found in beard supplements. Let’s look at what they’ve found:

- Biotin: EFSA reports that biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair. It helps the body to produce keratin, a protein that forms the hair structure.

- Zinc: According to the EFSA, zinc plays an essential role in DNA synthesis, cell division, and protein synthesis – all crucial processes for hair growth.

- Selenium: Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, acting as a potent antioxidant that protects cells from damage.

- Copper: It contributes to normal hair pigmentation and is known for its role in fighting premature greying.

- Vitamins B6 and B12: Vitamin B6 assists with hormone regulation and Zinc and Selenium absorption. Vitamin B12 contributes to proper red blood cell formation, acting as a supply chain for nutrients and oxygen.

Our Take - The Sidekick

Armed with the knowledge from EFSA and scientific studies, we've formulated our own beard growth supplement - The Sidekick.

Our supplement combines all these key ingredients, aiming to support your body with the necessary nutrients for maintaining normal beard growth.

Remember, a singular supplement won't transform a sparse beard into a thick one overnight - trust me, the road to a fuller beard has to be looked at holistically. The journey to a healthier beard involves a combination of consistent care, introducing your routine to derma rolling, a balanced diet, a somewhat appropriate lifestyle (minimizing stress, drugs, and alcohol), and lastly the right supplementation.

To sum it all up, beard supplements can work by creating favorable conditions for your facial hair to grow to its fullest potential. Still, it's crucial to maintain realistic expectations and understand that consistency is key in this journey. Lastly, it's always wise to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen - or write to us in our live chat our at support@cphgrooming.com if you have any questions.
