Wheatgrass Extract

Ingredient - Wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum)

Scientific Background: Cultivating Vitality - Wheatgrass, scientifically known as Triticum aestivum, is typically grown in trays or pots and harvested when it is about 6-12 inches tall. It is rich in nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E, as well as minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. It's also a good source of minerals like iron, zinc, and copper.

Plant Origin & Native Region - Wheatgrass is cultivated in regions known for wheat production.

Hair Specialty: Nourishing & Revitalizing - Wheatgrass is well-known for its ability to nourish and revitalize hair strands, restoring their vitality and promoting a youthful appearance. Here's how:

• Aging Reversal: It facilitates the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the scalp and hair follicles. This is essential for reversing the signs of aging in hair.

• Structural Repair: It aids in the repair and maintenance of hair structure, ensuring that your hair remains strong and resilient.

• Enhanced Melanin Production: Wheatgrass plays a vital role in melanin production, the pigment responsible for hair color.

• Improved Oxygen Levels: It enhances oxygen levels in the bloodstream, promoting better circulation to the scalp and hair follicles, ultimately fostering healthy hair growth.
