Here are the five essential nutrients contained in Piliant and everything you need to know about them.

1. Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a key component of Piliant. The purpose of including vitamin A in the formulation is that it has been shown to stimulate sebum production in the scalp which naturally hydrates the scalp and helps to retain hair. Hair loss can be caused by dandruff which is made worse by a dry scalp, so good sebum production is crucial to long-term hair health. In addition, the benefits of sebum production are assisted by the presence of Radix Rehmannia Root extract which nourishes and strengthens hair.

2. Vitamin B

In addition to vitamin A which fights hair loss by maintaining scalp health, Piliant also contains vitamin B in several forms to help prevent hair loss and thinning. Biotin (vitamin B7) and vitamin B5 work together to deliver a powerful 1-2 punch that nourishes hair follicles and fosters hair health. In addition to promoting hair growth, the presence of vitamins B5 and B7 also promotes nail growth which can be beneficial for those with weak fingernails. The reason that biotin is so important to hair retention is that it is used by the body for cell growth and insufficient levels of it lead to hair loss, and in severe cases loss of eyelashes and eyebrows can also occur.

3. Vitamin C

The third vital nutrient used in Piliant is vitamin C. For hair health vitamin C’s main advantage is aiding the body’s iron absorption, iron is used by your body to carry oxygen in your blood. Increased iron absorption is therefore important to overall health, but for hair health, the goal is to increase oxygen being carried to the scalp and hair follicles. In addition to aiding iron absorption, vitamin C also increases collagen production which has the added benefit of helping to reduce wrinkles.

4. Iron

One of the main reasons that Piliant includes vitamin C for iron absorption is that it also contains supplemental iron. Increased iron levels in the blood allow the blood to carry more oxygen leading to better oxygenation of body tissue. This oxygenation improves cell health and performance and is important for maintaining the health of your scalp and delivering all the nutrients that hair follicles need for keratin production and general hair health.

5. Zinc

The final of the 5 essential nutrients for hair health contained in Piliant is zinc. Zinc is critical for skin, fingernail, and hair health as well as having many other benefits to the body. Insufficient zinc can lead to many ailments, including poor DNA synthesis in new cells, slow healing, and reduced immune system function. For those considering Piliant, it is important to understand that one of the 4 main causes of alopecia is related to improper immune function. While it is known that zinc deficiency can be a cause of hair loss, there is limited research about the effectiveness of dietary zinc supplements in reducing hair loss or aiding hair growth.
