Nourkrin® – A scientifically proven anagen (growth) inducer to help promote and maintain healthy hair growth

It is estimated that there are, on average, 8 million women in the UK experiencing some degree of hair loss/hair thinning at any given time – approximately 60% of women between 30 and 60 years of age.

A recent independent survey, commissioned by Nourkrin®, found that 46% of women suffer in silence, not knowing where to turn for advice. Others feel insecure, embarrassed and uncomfortable talking about this condition. Hair loss/hair thinning remains a taboo subject, something that needs to be addressed as soon and as genuinely as possible.

Nourkrin® is taking 
responsibility by working to increase the awareness of seriousness of this problem.

Nourkrin® has launched a major campaign to bridge the knowledge and communication gap between female hair loss/hair thinning sufferers and healthcare professionals. This is designed to further increase the knowledge and understanding of the condition, building on the vast experience and expertise acquired since Nourkrin® established the female hair loss category.

Women suffering from hair loss or hair thinning conditions need support so they understand that they are NOT alone and that help IS available. They can take effective action to improve their situation and take the first step towards receiving quality guidance.

For more than two decades Nourkrin® have worked hard to bring real and documented knowledge about hair loss and hair thinning to light, based on thorough in-house scientific research.

As the brand that established the hair loss supplement category Nourkrin® is proud, as well as humbled, to have restored confidence to hundreds of thousands of women.

Hair Health and the normal Hair Growth Cycle.

At any given time, 10-15% of your hair is shedding (falling out).

This is completely natural and part of a ‘Normal Hair Growth Cycle’. The Hair Growth Cycle has three phases:

Phase 1 – Anagen (Growth) Phase

The Growth Phase, in which 85- 90% of hair is actively growing at any given time. This phase lasts on average 3 years, but can be longer.

Phase 2 – Catagen (Transition) Phase

The Transition Phase in which the hair’s nutrient vessel (the dermal papilla) disconnects from the follicle as the Growth Phase comes to an end. Approximately 1% of hairs are in this phase for a period of 1-2 weeks only.

Phase 3 – Telogen (Dormant/ Resting) Phase

The Resting Phase in which 10-15% of the hair sits inactive in the follicle after reaching its full growth potential. The average duration of this phase is 3-4 months, after which the hair is released from the follicle and replaced by a new hair.

The follicle then returns to begin a new Growth Phase, thereby completing the cycle.

Female hair loss can be closely linked to serious health conditions.

More and more research is highlighting the link between hair loss/hair thinning and more serious health conditions, with sudden increases in shedding being a possible precursor to a physical illness.

These studies add to an increasing body of evidence identified by, among others, Nourkrin®, which has been reported in national media worldwide, and demonstrates that female hair loss is a possible indicator of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and thyroid problems.

Key factors that could be the cause of hair loss/hair thinning are, among others:

Stress, Genetics, Hormones, Pregnancy and childbirth, Health, Smoking, Diet, Medicine

If you are experiencing excessive hair shedding you should see a GP or Health Care Practitioner for further help.

The consequences of a disrupted Hair Growth Cycle One or more of the serious health conditions detailed above could result in a disrupted Hair Growth Cycle. What often occurs in a disrupted Hair Growth Cycle is:

Phase 1 – Anagen (Growth) Phase

The duration of the Growth Phase is reduced and as a consequence the entire Hair Growth Cycle is suddenly disrupted.

Phase 2 – Catagen (Transition) Phase

When the Growth Phase is reduced the Hair Growth Cycle enters the Transition Phase much too early.

Phase 3 – Telogen (Dormant/ Resting) Phase

As a consequence more hair strands then enter the Dormant/ Resting Phase too soon and start to extend the duration of the Dormant/Resting Phase, leading to increased hair shedding and weaker re-growth.

Following a prolonged Dormant/Resting Phase, fewer hair follicles are induced back into the Growth Phase, resulting in no re-growth.

This is known as dormant hair follicles. Regardless of the reason for the hair loss/hair thinning, the Hair Growth Cycle is always negatively affected. A disruption to the Normal Hair Growth Cycle is often the major contributor to hair shedding and weaker re- growth.

How Nourkrin® helps and what it does!

Nourkrin® is a scientifically proven hair re-growth programme that works! Nourkrin® is based on more than 28 years of research, development and clinical studies.

It is a specifically formulated programme with a proprietary blend of ingredients, including the unique, protected substance Marilex®, which can only be found in Nourkrin®.

What Nourkrin® does

Nourkrin is not just another multivitamin or hair, skin and nails formulation.

The active ingredient in all Nourkrin® tablets, Marilex® (a fractionated fish extract with specific lectican proteoglycans), contains specific components known to be structurally associated with the hair follicles and the functioning of these. Nourkrin® is proven to work in conjunction with the Hair Growth Cycle, to help normalise a disrupted cycle by stimulating dormant follicles back into the Growth Phase. At the same time, Nourkrin® also provides nutrition to improve the overall life and function of the hair follicles on the scalp.

The Nourkrin® effect

It is crucial that follicles stuck in a dormant state are stimulated to re-enter the Growth Phase. As more and more hairs re-enter the Growth Phase, the Resting Phase is pushed back to normal levels – reducing the amount of hair shedding. The prolonged Growth Phase sustains active follicles in producing healthy hair regrowth.

Nourkrin® should always be used as a first-line approach when dealing with hair loss in order to normalise the Hair Growth Cycle
