Currently, in the market, there are many hair care products with amino acids in them promising longer, thicker, shinier, and conditioned hair. But have you ever wondered, what are these amino acids and what they actually do to your hair? How do they help and how effective these products and supplements are? Today, we will help elaborate on the what, why, and hows of amino acids for hair growth and hair health. Let's get started.

What are Amino acids?

Amino Acids are the building block of proteins which is necessary for many of the structures and functions of our bodies. Our bodies produce 11 out of 20 different amino acids we need to function on daily basis. The remaining 9 amino acids are called essential amino acids that we consume or we get through our foods or supplements. These essential amino acids produce proteins that are used in building muscles, bones, hair, and nails.

How do amino acids work?

Our hair is made up of a protein called keratin which is made with 18 different amino acids. Keratin is formed from long chains of amino acids that allow your hair to bend, twist, and turn without breaking, lending strength and elasticity to hair. Amino acids help strengthen the hair shaft and prevent hair breakage. Amino acids improve hair texture, making it look soft and silky smooth. It stimulates new hair growth and promotes longer hair. It also protects hair from the detrimental effects of bleaching & coloring. It moisturizes hair and repairs surface damage. Overall, amino acids are natural ingredients to help improve hair health and give you shiny, bouncy hair.

Why do we need Amino Acids?

If an adequate amount of amino acids are not available in the body, then the production of keratin protein reduces, which in turn will reduce hair growth. So to boost hair growth, amino acids are essential. Amino acids also play a major role in the production of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) which supply oxygen to our hair follicles, thereby increasing hair growth. A deficiency of amino acids causes brittle, damaged hair and hair loss.

How can we get Amino Acids?

The amino acids can be consumed through foods or supplements. Certain Amino Acids Rich Foods are:

• Eggs
• Meat
• Beans
• Nuts
• Lentils
