"Lysine" and our "Hair"


So today, let's continue our conversation about our "hair"


Now . . . yesterday we spoke about the amino acid called "taurine" and today we'll talk about another amino acid called "lysine" . . .


This one we've spoken about many times before in regards to our health.


So the question for today is this . . . why is "lysine" also important for our "hair"???


Well . . . "lysine" is present in the "hair's root" and it's responsible for the shape and volume of our hair.


And with this . . . an "L-lysine" deficiency can cause hair loss . . .


You see . . . "lysine" assists in "rebuilding" protein structures like "keratin" in our skin and hair.


So let's dig a little deeper . . .


There's a specific sex hormone called DHT that's derived from testosterone.


And when we have TOO MUCH of this hormone . . . it can affect our "hair" follicles . . . which can interfere with the "growth cycle" of our hair . . . leaving us with shrinking and shortening of the hair . . . making it easier for it to fall out and not grow.


Now . . . even though "lysine" isn't actually a DHT "blocker" . . . when combined with DHT inhibitors . . . it promotes hair growth.


So now I'm sure you're thinking . . . what's a natural DHT blocker???
