Green tea extract: fighting hair loss naturally
Why green tea is positive for health
Green tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world and has a wide range of positive effects, especially when it comes to your hair. For example, it can promote healthy hair growth and provide relief from various types of hair loss. But how does it work?
First, green tea contains beneficial antioxidants that help the body reduce free radicals that can damage the scalp.
At the same time, the polyphenols in green tea provide an effective way to provide your body, and especially the hair follicles, with additional nutrients such as vitamin C, selenium, zinc, chromium and other vitamins needed to promote strong and healthy hair.
They also help fight minor inflammation, which can relieve dandruff and prevent damage to the scalp caused by harsh chemical treatments or styling products.
The active ingredient that makes green tea so healing is epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). This compound fights free radicals, molecules that damage our cells and, in the worst cases, can even lead to diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Studies have shown that EGCG can reduce inflammation and stimulate new cell growth. Since these are often also important factors in various types of hair loss, the active ingredient is popularly used to combat hair loss and lay the foundation for healthy hair growth.
For example, it has been found that the anti-inflammatory properties of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) can alleviate circular hair loss in the form of alopecia areata, which is caused by autoimmune reactions in the body, and have a positive effect on hair growth.

How to use green tea for hair loss,
With its many health benefits, green tea can be a great addition to any hair care routine. But how can it be used effectively?
It is very easy to incorporate green tea into your daily life, simply by brewing tea. The delivery of the active ingredient EGCG in tea in this form of internal use has positive health effects and is particularly well known in the field of weight loss.

If you want to enjoy the benefits of green tea against hair loss, however, it is best to apply the active ingredients directly to the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
Although this is also possible in the form of hair rinses with home-grown green tea, it is especially worthwhile in combination with other hair growth stimulants.
This is why it makes more sense to use clinically tested hair growth products that use green tea extract - i.e. EGCG - as an ingredient and have incorporated it into their products.
The products from Neofollics also work this way. The shampoo, conditioner and lotion can deliver their active ingredients in combination with other useful active ingredients directly to the scalp, improving your hair growth.
Neofollics tablets, which also contain EGCG, are also suitable for this purpose. As with all hair growth remedies, using green tea extract requires patience, as you need to maintain regular application for several months to achieve visible results.
In some cases of hair loss, or when it is already very advanced, green tea is probably no longer sufficient as a form of treatment and further measures should be taken, such as a hair transplant or laser therapy with a laser helmet.
Conclusion: green tea as a natural hair restorer
In short, green tea is an effective remedy for some forms of hair loss and a natural alternative to many other treatments. Green tea is full of vitamins and minerals that are essential for healthy hair growth.
Clinically tested hair growth products containing the active ingredient EGCG are particularly suitable for treating hair loss with green tea. By applying it topically to the scalp, you can promote the creation of new hair, reduce inflammation and improve overall scalp health.
Enjoy a cup of hot green tea with it - you are not only doing something good for your hair growth, but also for your overall health.
