Designed to mimic or enhance natural peptides, they bind to receptors and modulate pathways like hormone release, tissue repair, metabolism or immune activity
Common drivers include: Genetic androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss) Hormonal shifts (post-partum, menopause, thyroid issues) Stress and inflammatory scalp conditions Nutrient deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, protein) Medication side effects and medical conditions Physical damage from heat styling, tight styles and chemical treatments Conventional, evidence-based treatments focus on changing the hair cycle and follicle environment
The pattern fades by week 3 in nearly all reports
The results: if there is an excess of vitamin B12 in the skin, the gene activity of these skin bacteria changes and they produce more of a molecule that fuels inflammatory processes
The peptide modulates over 4000 human genes, turning up genes associated with tissue remodeling and antioxidant protection while turning down genes linked to inflammation and tissue destruction
Low B12 in the body is also associated with chronic fatigue, weakness, and poor energy levels
