Do athletes have more hair loss?

• If you regularly do sports, you are often in the shower and wash your hair.
• The problem: With every hair wash, valuable Thiocyanate is rinsed out of the scalp.
• Thiocyanate, as an important functional fabric for cell metabolism, is then missing in the hair root.
• The result: hair growth is more prone to interference and hair loss often occurs.
• It would be highly recommended to compensate for the THIOCYANAT deficiency.

Do sports regularly, go to the gym, jog, swim, cycle or kick-many do this because they simply enjoy it. But many also to do something for their health and their appearance. For many, full, healthy hair belongs to an attractive exterior. Have more athletes Hair loss? Myth? Legend? Or actually a risk?

Crime scene shower

The reasons for hair loss of athletes usually do not differ from people who do not do sports. In men, it is an inherited predisposition in 80 % of cases and starts in mid -20s. The women are too Hormonal conversion phases After pregnancy or During the menopause responsible for hair loss. There are also stressful environmental influences and pollutants, including lack of sleep. However, what distinguishes athletes from other people, why athletes have more hair loss: they shower more often - and therefore wash their hair more often.

"Problem" washing hair

Hair experts have always warned of the strain on the hair through foaming surfactants of the shampoo. The scalp and hair of skin particles and salts that arise when sweating are cleaned. In surface, but also intervenes in the structure of the hair and open its scale layer. This is how strawy hair is created. In case of doubt, stranded, straw -like hair does not look so healthy, but is not yet a direct reason for hair loss. As a rule, it is not the surfactants that can be dangerous for hair - what happens to the hair root, where the growth of the hair takes place. There, a body's own molecule is rinsed out with every hair washing, which is important for many the body's own processes - also for healthy growth in hair roots. This Molecule is called thiocyanate.

What is Thiocyanate and what does it have to do with washing hair?

Thiocyanate is a natural molecule that has accompanied the development of life from the beginning and is therefore of great importance for the human organism. Thiocyanate activates and regulates the body's own processes, such as cell metabolism - also that in the hair root, ultimately hair growth. If Thiocyanate, which is water -soluble, is washed out by repeated hair washes made of scalp and hair roots, it cannot develop its effect.

How does Thiocyanate work?

Thiocyanate serves as a stabilizer of the cell membrane and normalizes existing imbalances in the cell balance. Thiocyanate strengthens the hair root and protects it compared to growth -disturbing influences. In addition, thiocyanate is able to neutralize the hair regeneration inhibiting radicals. In the numerous adverse influences on our hair follicles, Thiocyanate is therefore of great relevance to stabilize and prematurely prevent the hair cycle. But only if we don't rinse it off regularly.

Never wash hair again?

Thiocyanate expert Prof. Dr. Axel Kramer explains how frequent hair washing on the Thiocyanate content on the hair root affects: "The organism needs at least a week to enrich the washed-out Thiocyanate again in the scalp and the hair root." So the question arises whether athletes should be on the hair of hair. "No," says Prof. Kramer, "of course this is not an option. But we should compensate for the Thiocyanate deficiency."

Compensate for a lack of Thiocyanate

Usually, 60 to 70 % of the THIOCYANAT quantity in the organism is formed by the body itself. The rest is absorbed by the diet. The THIOCYANAT deficiency as a result of washing hair can hardly be balanced purely through the diet. Accordingly, compensation via additional Thiocyanate from the outside is necessary. Especially when athletes have more hair loss*, this can be a warning sign that they lack Thiocyanate.

Thiocyn hair serum with thiocyanate

Prof. Dr. Kramer has operated basic research on Thiocyanate for decades. Building on this, the Thiocyn research laboratory developed a remedy for hair loss*: The Thiocyn Haarserum with its patented Thiocyanate activity formula is recommended to everyone who regularly exercises. Eine Anwendung 1x täglich ist ausreichend, um einem Thiocyanat-Mangel einfach und schnell vorzubeugen – und Haarwurzeln zu schützen.

No side effects, very good tolerance, which

Since Thiocyanate is a body's own active ingredient, side and interactions are not known. The high tolerance was checked clinically and dermatologically and rated very well^³. Thiocyn hair serum is not only well tolerated, but can even calm and regenerate irritated, reddened or itchy scalp.

"Training for healthy hair roots" - start now with the application

If two to three hair washes can lead to a sustainable loss of Thiocyanate on the scalp a week, then the deficiency is even more dramatic for everyone who is doing a lot of sport and wash their hair several times a day. In terms of hair loss probability, (leisure) athletes are therefore part of a "highly risk group"-and should do something. If athletes have reinforced hair loss*, they have a lack of thiocyanate.
