Description

  The present invention relates to a scalp active method and scalp active composition that are expected to be effective for hair growth, hair loss prevention, dandruff prevention and the like when used on the scalp and hair.

  In recent years, the sake manufacturing industry has been accompanied by a decrease in the production of pickles using sake lees due to changes in consumer preferences, and an increase in the production of Honjo-shu, Ginjo-shu, Junmai-shu, etc. Due to the chronic excess of a large amount of sake lees due to an increase in the production of sake lees (production of about 100,000 tons per year), the development of effective utilization methods has become an urgent issue. Sake lees are also used for pickles, edible, synthetic sake flavor liquid ingredients, shochu ingredients and feeds, but at present, a significant portion of the sake lees produced are discarded, so research on further use development There were many voices of wanting to proceed.

Therefore, the applicant of the present invention has been researching the use development of sake lees for a long time, and as a result of the research, “fluid pasty liquor product and manufacturing method” (refer to JP 2003-235537 A). Applied for a patent.
Briefly explaining the development project of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-235537, a new health supplement for sake lees that completely uses up the potential value of sake lees as nutrient-rich foods, as well as general consumers cooking and drinking In order to make it easier to use in bathing agents and cosmetics, new sake lees products that are easy to dissolve even if they are added directly to water, hot water, dishes and beverages, and the sake liquor can be used for various purposes. New liquor products that can be provided at low cost and can be easily introduced by small-scale contractors. As a problem, as a solution, obtain a plate-like solid sake lees from a general brewing company, and then add 10 kg of sake lees and 40 liters of water at 20 ° C. to a stirrer, for example. Agitate and pulverize the plate-like solid sake lees, then immerse the pulverized sake lees in the agitator for about 12 hours, and then submerge the brewed liquor into a paste in the agitator After stirring (approx. 5 minutes), the process moves to the PET bottle filling process, and the above-mentioned fluid pasty liquor is sealed in a 1-liter PET bottle, so that it can be used for many purposes. Paste-like liquor products can be obtained.
However, the commercialization of health foods, bath salts, and cosmetics made it clear after development that time and cost for measuring the effects, marketing costs for commercialization, and mass production costs were more than expected, and it took time for industrialization. This is the current situation.

Further, for example, the applicant of the present invention has applied for “a liquid liquor that can be used conveniently and versatilely and a method for producing the same” (see JP 2002-223742 A).
Briefly explaining the development project of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-223742, the sake cake is provided as a new health food by improving the aspect that has not been fully utilized while having the potential value as a nutrition-rich food, While using sake lees as the main raw material, sake lees can be used easily and versatilely and are well received by consumers, and can be industrially mass-produced and provided at low cost, requiring special equipment and new equipment. In addition, since it does not require complicated processing steps, it can be easily introduced even by a small-scale contractor, and as a solution, a sake mash is obtained by a commonly practiced means, and the sake mash is used for a predetermined number of days. Fermented fermented sake moromi is obtained, and the fermented sake mash is introduced into a press, separated into sake and koji, and in the process of taking out the pomace as sake koji, about 5% sake remains in the koji. In other words, by taking out the sake lees in a liquid mixture state, homogenizing the liquid mixture in a muddy state with a mixer, and then making it into a glass bottle through a glass bottle filling process, making it easy and versatile for glass bottles. Liquid liquor that can be used can be obtained.
However, the commercialization of health foods has made it clear after development that it takes more time than expected to measure the health effects, costs, marketing costs for commercialization, and mass production costs. The current situation is.

Therefore, the applicant of the present invention focused on a hair restorer that is relatively easy to measure the effect.
In addition, the market for hair restorers is generally caused by mental and physical stress caused by the complexity of social life in recent years, causing damage to the scalp and hair roots, leading to thinning and hair loss. Since then, it has become a big market year after year.
However, it removes dirt from the scalp and hair root, attaches or penetrates the scalp and hair root with a composition that reduces thinning hair and hair loss, or attaches and penetrates a composition that promotes blood circulation of the scalp and hair root. However, these compositions are often mixed with medicinal chemicals, and the chemicals produced by synthesis may not fit the scalp and hair roots depending on the user. There are new problems that cause side effects such as pain and itching.
In addition to chemical substances produced by synthesis, for example, a hair restorer comprising a plant-derived scalp or hair root blood circulation promoting substance such as chili pepper tincture, assembly extract, ginseng extract, nicotinic acid, methyl nicotinate, etc. There are also known hair growth agents, etc., but these blood circulation stimulating substances are strongly irritating and the compounding amount is limited, or the blood circulation promoting action decreases in a short time or the blood circulation promoting substance is weak In other words, it is said that the substance was not effective to the extent that effects such as hair growth, hair restoration, hair loss prevention, and dandruff prevention were sufficiently exhibited.

From the above-mentioned problems, the applicant of the present invention has conducted a patent prior application search for a development project using sake lees, focusing on a hair-restoring agent whose effect measurement is relatively easy.
For example, by using a sake lees extract that effectively uses natural deep sea water as a natural substance, it is gentle to the human body, particularly superoxide dismutase-like (SOD-like), tyrosinase inhibitory action, α-amylase inhibitory action, useful mineral, Aiming at providing hair growth agents having amino acids, lactic acid, etc., as a solution, there has been a development project of a hair growth agent comprising as an active ingredient an extract extracted from sake lees obtained during brewing using deep sea water. (Refer to JP 2004-346045 A)

  In addition, for example, it is gentle to the human body, particularly has superoxide dismutase-like (SOD-like), and by using sake lees as a starting material, it has good affinity for the skin and does not hinder skin respiration. Has been developed for the purpose of providing a hair restorer that can be applied to the skin without becoming unnatural and has such an SOD-like activity. (See JP 2002-284632 A)

  However, for example, a development project for a hair-restoring agent containing as an active ingredient a sake extract extracted during brewing using deep sea water disclosed in JP-A-2004-346045 or an SOD-like activity as disclosed in JP-A-2002-284632. In the development of hair restorer, a process for extracting sake lees obtained at the time of brewing is necessary to obtain the extract that is the necessary active ingredient. As a result, a new problem arises as to what to do with the extracted residue. For example, the problem is how to dispose of the extracted waste and how to reuse it.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and draws out the potential action of sake lees or finds effective use of each component contained in sake lees, and the scalp. By producing the best method for activating hair and a composition therefor, it continuously promotes blood circulation of the scalp, has excellent effects such as hair growth, hair loss prevention and dandruff prevention, and there is no occurrence of rash or itching. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a scalp active method and a scalp active composition that can be used by many people who have problems with the scalp due to less irritation to the scalp.

  The first means to solve the problem is ordinary sake lees produced when producing ordinary sake, ginjo liquor produced when producing ginjo sake, and daiginjo sake produced.

It is known as a substance related to the action, immunity of hair root cells, and histamine in blood vessels in the vicinity of hair roots (it is related to causing itching and pain in response to external factors such as injury and medicine) ) Lowering blood concentration, generating neurotransmitters in hair root cells, forming enzyme active sites in hair root cells, promoting energy and nutrition in hair root cells, , The ability to maintain the normal function of blood vessels in the vicinity of the hair root, the action of expanding blood vessels in the vicinity of the hair root to facilitate blood passage, and the immune function of hair root cells Enhances hair root cells Promotes damage recovery, creates porphyrin, a blood component in hair root cells, increases collagen, which is one type of hair root cell tissue, moisturizing action necessary for hair root cells, hair roots It refers to the action of producing phospholipids and glyceric acid in cells, the action of improving metabolism in hair root cells, and the action of increasing cysteine, which is an amino acid abundantly contained in hair root cells.

Regarding the use of the liquor solution on the scalp, the appropriate amount of the liquor solution should be evenly adhered to the scalp or adapted to the entire scalp, and then the scalp should be massaged for a predetermined time. However, human hands may be used at this time, but massage means may be used. As for this massage means, a generally known massage instrument, a massage tool, or a massage device may be used. In addition, regarding this massage means, manual, mechanical, electromagnetic means, etc. can be used. The predetermined time is preferably 1 to 10 minutes. This is because the effect is difficult to be obtained in less than 1 minute, and the effect is not so different in more than 10 minutes, and excessive stimulation to the scalp is not preferable.
In addition, after using the liquor solution on the scalp, after washing away the liquor solution, the hair washing means may be carried out using a conventional hair washing agent, or after carrying out normal hair washing means and washing off the hair washing agent. The liquor solution may be used for the scalp.
Moreover, regarding the use of the sake lees solution for the hair, it is in accordance with the content of using the liquor solution for the scalp.
Further, in the present invention, it is also possible to use the liquor solution simultaneously on the scalp and the hair, and as one means thereof, for example, after putting a predetermined amount of the liquor solution at a desired temperature in a desired container. At least a part of the head is soaked in the solution for a predetermined time. At this time, a light scalp and hair massage is also preferable, and the massage means can also be used. In addition, after this work is completed, the scalp and the hair are immediately washed away.
The predetermined time is preferably 1 to 10 minutes. This is because it is difficult to obtain an effect in 1 minute or less, and there is not much difference in the effect in 10 minutes or more, because excessive stimulation to the scalp and hair is not preferable.

As the aqueous solution, any water that is generally available may be used, and natural spring water, rain water, river water, ground water, tap water, and the like can be used. Furthermore, regarding the aqueous solution, cold water, room temperature water, warm water, and the like can be used. For cold water, it is generally preferable to use in the range of 0 ° C. to 20 ° C., for room temperature water, generally 10 ° C. to 30 ° C., and for hot water, generally 30 ° C. to 40 ° C.
In the present invention, at least one selected from the ordinary sake lees, the ginjo sake lees, the daiginjo liquor, the pure rice liquor, and the other liquors is used. The inventors have found that it is preferable to use a combination of at least one pair of Daiginjo sake lees, pure rice liquors, and other sake lees to arrive at the present invention.
Regarding the means for producing the liquor solution, a predetermined amount of the liquor is dissolved in the aqueous solution, but the means for dissolving the liquor in the aqueous solution or the means for dispersing the solid components of the liquor in the aqueous solution is a manual kneading means. Or kneading means, electromagnetic kneading means, mechanical kneading means, low frequency vibration kneading means, high frequency vibration kneading means, or ultrasonic kneading means.

The general components of the sake lees are introduced, for example, in the “Sake Ingredients” chapter (page 104) in “Brew Ingredients” edited and issued by the Japan Brewing Association. It is shown.

Nucleic acid-based substances have been confirmed in the sake lees. For example, they were introduced in the chapter “Ingredients of sake lees” (page 105) in “Ingredients of Brewing” edited and published by the Japan Brewing Association. For example, as shown in Table 2.

Regarding Table 2, it is shown that nine kinds of nucleic acid substances are contained in sake lees. For example, Adenine, Guanine, Hypoxanthine, Histine, Arginine, Betaine, Choline, Lysine, Tyrosine, etc. It is expected to be effective for revitalization, hair activation and hair root activation.
In addition, the activation of the scalp, the activation of the hair, and the activation of the hair root shall also conform to the contents described in the first means for solving the above-mentioned problems.

In addition, various amino acids have been confirmed in the sake lees. For example, in the chapter “Sake lees ingredients” in “Ingredients of sake” edited and published by the Japan Brewing Association (page 105), Changes in various amino acids during the storage period of sake lees are introduced, for example, as shown in Table 3.

  As a result of extensive research by the inventor of the present invention, the components of the scalp active composition of the present invention that promote blood circulation of the scalp or activate the state of the scalp are volatile components, non-volatile from Tables 1 to 3 From the hypothesis that at least one of ingredients, soluble ingredients, insoluble ingredients, alcohols, total acids, volatile acids, non-volatile acids, various amino acids, nucleic acid substances, etc., acts on the scalp in a complex or synergistic manner. They found that the ingredients contribute to the metabolism of the scalp and promote the nutritional supplementation of hair and hair roots, thus making it possible to prevent hair growth, prevent hair loss and prevent dandruff.

  Regarding the concentration of the sake lees solution, a predetermined amount of the liquor is dissolved or dispersed in the aqueous solution. In the liquor solution, when the liquor is 1 wt% to 5 wt%, or the liquor is 5 wt% to In the case of 10% by weight, in the case where the sake lees is 10% by weight to 15% by weight, in the case where the liquor is 15% by weight to 20% by weight, in the case where the liquor is 20% by weight to 25% by weight, When the sake lees are 25 wt% to 30 wt%, when the liquor is 30 wt% to 35 wt%, when the liquor is 35 wt% to 40 wt%, or when the liquor is 40 wt% to 45 wt% %, Or when the sake lees are 45 wt% to 50 wt%, etc., can be selected and used. However, when the sake lees in the liquor solution is 1% by weight or less, the effect of the present invention cannot be expected because the liquor components are small. When the liquor component in the liquor solution is 50% by weight or more, the viscosity is low. It is too expensive to be practical as a product.

  As a second means to solve the problem, it is expected to have effects such as hair growth prevention and hair loss prevention and dandruff prevention by activating the scalp by using it on the scalp and activating the hair by using it on the hair. By providing a scalp active composition, wherein one of the compositions or cosmetics is a liquor solution in which an alcoholic beverage obtained at the time of sake production or other alcoholic beverages is dissolved in an aqueous solution. is there.

The scalp active composition of the present invention has been studied by the inventors of the present invention as a result of diligent research, and a sake liquor solution in which a predetermined amount of the sake spirit is sufficiently dissolved or sufficiently dispersed in a predetermined amount of an aqueous solution is used for the scalp. Or a composition or cosmetic that can be used to activate the scalp, activate the hair, or activate the hair roots, and the liquor solution can prevent hair growth and prevent hair loss. It was invented by finding that it is a kind of.
The use of the liquor solution for the scalp and the hair is based on the contents described in the first means for solving the above-mentioned problems.
In addition, the activation of the scalp, the activation of the hair, and the activation of the hair root shall also conform to the contents described in the first means for solving the above-mentioned problems.

In addition, the general components of the sake lees are referred to as “Table 4” by citing from “Five Amendments, Japanese Food Standard Ingredients Table”.

As a result of intensive studies by the inventors of the present invention, the components of the scalp active composition of the present invention that promote blood circulation of the scalp or activate the state of the scalp are, for example, sodium ions, potassium as shown in Table 4 Ion, calcium ion, magnesium ion, phosphorus ion, iron ion, zinc ion, copper ion, manganese ion, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin folic acid, vitamin pantothenic acid, etc. It is possible to hypothesize that it acts on hair, and at least one of these components contributes to the activation of the scalp, the hair, and the root of the hair, thereby preventing hair growth, preventing hair loss and preventing dandruff I found out that
It should be noted that activation of the scalp, activation of the hair, and activation of the hair root are in accordance with the contents described in the first means for solving the above-described problems.

  As a third means for solving the problem, in order to solve the above-mentioned sake lees, the sake lees having a storage period after generation of one month or more are used as the liquor expected to be effective in the present invention. The scalp active composition according to the first means or the second means for solving the problem is provided.

From Table 3, according to the present invention, the sample b, the sample c, and the sample a have various amino acids in the sample b, the sample c, and the sample a as the storage period becomes longer in the order of the sample b <sample c <sample a. Table 5 shows that the inventors found that there was an increasing tendency and made it easy to see the amount of change of various amino acids in Table 3.

As shown in Tables 1 to 5, there is a fresh sake cake and a stored sake cake, and there is a slight difference between the components. As a result of intensive studies, the inventors of the present invention have found that the difference in components between fresh and stored sake lees affects the scalp active composition of the present invention. In other words, volatile components are more in storage liquor than fresh sake lees, non-volatile components are less in storage liquor than fresh liquor, soluble components are more in storage liquor than fresh liquor, and insoluble components are stored in fresh liquor. There are fewer liquors, alcohol is less liquor than fresh liquor, total acid is more liquor than fresh liquor, volatile acids are more liquor than fresh liquor, non-volatile acids are fresh liquor From the result that there are more storage sake lees, as will be described later, data indicating that the effect of the present invention is relatively higher than fresh liquor is obtained, for example, volatile components, soluble components, total acid, volatilization It is possible to hypothesize that at least one of acid, non-volatile acid, and the like contributes to the effects of the present invention.
Moreover, as shown in Table 1 to Table 5, various amino acids that are known to have a moisturizing effect on the scalp are increased in association with the storage period being 1 month or more, so that the storage period is 1 month or more. It was found that this sake lees was an active composition for scalp and reached the present invention.

  Regarding stored sake lees, as shown in Table 1, fresh liquor is compared with 6 months stored liquor. However, the present inventor is different from 6 months stored liquor if the storage period is 1 month or more. The hypothesis was that it would be relatively absent. In other words, it is found that aging the sake lees by storing fresh sake lees at a predetermined temperature and predetermined storage means, and that aging the liquor causes chemical changes in the components of the liquor. According to No. 1, a sake lees with a storage or aging period of 1 month or more is said to be sufficient for realizing the effects of the present invention. However, in order to further improve the effect of the present invention, it is preferable to use sake lees whose storage or aging period is 6 months or more.

  As a fourth means for solving the problem, the aqueous solution is selected from at least one of pure water, filtered water, electrolyzed water, active water, and mineral water. The scalp active composition according to any one of the first means for achieving or the second means for solving the problem.

  As for the pure water, suspended matter or minerals can be obtained by using filtration means (reverse osmosis membrane), using distillation means, using centrifugal precipitation means, using ion exchange means, or using solvent extraction means. This is water from which impurities such as water and chlorine and chlorine compounds have been removed. Distilled water is one type of water. The higher the purity, the lower the electrical conductivity, and usually a resistivity of about 2 to 10 MΩ · cm. is there.

  The filtered water is floated by being filtered with a product made of at least one substance selected from charcoal, carbon, carbon compounds, activated carbon, ceramics, metal oxides, clay minerals, mineral powders, and the like. It is water from which impurities such as substances and minerals and chlorine and chlorine compounds have been removed.

  The electrolyzed water is water generated from a device that generates electrolyzed water such as alkaline water, strong alkaline water, acidic water, or strong acidic water by electrolyzing water, and particularly acidic water having a pH of about 2 to about pH 3. Has a sterilizing effect and a sterilizing effect, and is used as water for sterilization, disinfection and sterilization under the name of strongly acidic water. Also, the electrolyzed water generating device is basically composed of a pair of ion chambers with a diaphragm capable of transmitting ions, the structure of the electrolyzer of the device for generating electrolyzed water such as alkaline water, strong alkaline water, acidic water or strong acidic water. It consists of an electrolytic cell partitioned into a pair of electrodes individually provided in each ion chamber, that is, an anode and a cathode. Both the anode and the cathode are changed, but both functions are obtained by changing the DC pole supplied to the electrodes. be able to. In addition, among electrolyzed water generating devices, types capable of obtaining neutral electrolyzed water in principle have been developed. In the present invention, alkaline water, strong alkaline water, acidic water as described above are developed. It can be selected from strong acid water, neutral electrolyzed water, and the like.

With regard to the active water, the water molecules constituting the aqueous solution rarely exist alone in nature, and in general, the water molecules are in groups or lumps by hydrogen bonding. It is generally known that such a group or cluster of water molecules is used in the expression water molecule aggregate or cluster. It has become generally known that the degree of water activity is related to the size of water molecular aggregates or clusters. However, in order to change the size of water molecule aggregates or clusters, it is necessary to break or separate hydrogen bonds, which are the means for bonding water molecules, which requires chemical or physical energy. Become. Therefore, in the present invention, physical action and chemical action such as far-infrared radiation action by the far-infrared radiation substance, negative ion generation action by the negative ion generation substance and catalytic action by the catalyst substance, magnetic action by the magnetic force generation means, By breaking hydrogen bonds between water molecules by magnetic force action by electromagnetic generation means, low frequency vibration action, ultrasonic action, harmonic vibration action, high frequency vibration action by electromagnetic wave generation means, etc. The present invention has been made by using water with reduced clusters.
Regarding the activated water, either water in which water molecules have been activated by magnetic treatment means, water in which water molecules have been activated by means of ceramics far infrared treatment or negative ion means, or ion addition means by electrolysis means. Alternatively, water in which water molecules are activated by negative ion means can also be used.
With regard to the catalytic action, for example, it is known that many metal oxides have a catalytic action.

  Regarding the mineral water, if a predetermined amount of components such as calcium ion, magnesium ion, potassium ion, iron ion, zinc ion, copper ion is contained, ground water, spring water, well water, commercially available mineral water, The water which added the mineral component to the water mentioned above can also be utilized.

  As a fifth means for solving the problem, the scalp active composition includes at least a refreshing sensation imparting agent, an antioxidant, active water, an amino acid, a far infrared radiation composition, and a negative ion generating composition. The scalp according to any one of the fourth means for solving the problems from the first means for solving the problems, characterized in that the scalp is selected from one to 0.1% by weight to 10% by weight. It is to provide an active composition.

Regarding the refreshing agent, herbs (e.g., rosemary, rosehip, sage, thyme, oregano, basil, laurel, marjoram, lavender, parsley, borage, lemon balm, lemongrass, peppermint, spearmint, chamomile, chicory, Garlic, chervil, pepper, ginger, turmeric, salamander, wasabi, lotus, bergamot, anishysop, nastathium) and alcohols (chosen from compounds in which hydrocarbon hydrogen atoms are substituted with hydroxyl groups) are known It is preferable to use one or more selected from these groups.
Among the alcohols, for example, ethyl alcohol and propyl alcohol have moderate transdermal absorbability, so the refreshing agent, the active water, the amino acid, the far-infrared radiation composition, and the production of negative ions in the scalp. It enhances the action of the composition, has low skin irritation, and produces a continuous blood circulation promoting action. It is presumed that this continuous blood circulation promoting action activates the hair matrix cells to express an excellent hair loss prevention effect, and further normalizes the scalp metabolic function to enhance the anti-dandruff effect.

As for the antioxidant, it is preferable to use a substance that is less irritating to the scalp, such as edible brewed vinegar (for example, powdered vinegar, grain vinegar, brown rice vinegar, black vinegar, apple vinegar, grape vinegar, etc. And at least selected from organic acids such as citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, gluconic acid, butyric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, phthalic acid, lactic acid, and glutamic acid. It is characterized by containing one substance, but the blending amount of the antioxidant may be 0.1 to 5.0% by weight with respect to the total weight of the scalp active composition of the present invention, preferably Is 0.5 to 3.0% by weight. If the blending amount is less than 0.1% by weight, the intended effect of the present invention is not sufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 5.0% by weight, the improvement corresponding to the increase cannot be expected. In addition, it is known that edible vinegar has a strong bactericidal power against Salmonella typhi, Shigella, Escherichia coli and the like, and also has a strong antiseptic power. That is, the sake lees are originally acidic at pH 5-6, and the acidic and antibacterial effects are known to be acidic, but weak acid at pH 5-6 is insufficient, and therefore the present invention has pH 2-4. We decided to use the antioxidant and bactericidal effects that have strong acidity.
In the present invention, natural antioxidants can also be used as the antioxidant. For example, ellagic acid, γ-oryzanol, β-carotene, black tea, rice bran, sesaminol, soy peptide, tannin, vitamin It is also possible to select and blend at least one of C or rutin.

Regarding the active water, the above-described active water can be used as water for scalp activation.
In addition to the active water, at least one selected from the pure water described above, the filtered water described above, the electrolytic water described above, and the mineral water described above can be selected and used as scalp active water.

  Regarding the amino acid, for example, T.M. N. , Lysine (Lysine), histidine (Histine), Arginine, Aspartic acid, threonine (Threonine), Serine, Glucine acid, Proline, Glycine, Aline, Cystein (Cystein), valine (Maline) ), Leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and a salt of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of tryptophan. If it is 0.1 to 5.0% by weight with respect to the total weight of the scalp active composition of the present invention. It is preferably 0.5 to 3.0% by weight. If the blending amount is less than 0.1% by weight, the intended effect of the present invention is not sufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 5.0% by weight, the improvement corresponding to the increase cannot be expected.

In addition, the basic actions of various amino acids shown in any of Tables 1 to 5 on the generally known human body can be used to make inferences regarding the scalp activation, hair activation, and hair root activation. The following is possible.
It should be noted that activation of the scalp, activation of the hair, and activation of the hair root are in accordance with the contents described in the first means for solving the above-described problems.
“Isoleucine” is one of the essential amino acids and is also called branched chain amino acid (metabolized in muscle). It plays an important role in increasing protein in the body and as an energy source during exercise. It is known to act on blood vessels, liver, muscles, etc., but since the scalp, hair and hair roots are also formed of protein, the above-mentioned action is also applied to the scalp, hair and hair roots. Presumed to be.
Regarding "leucine", one of the essential amino acids, also called branched chain amino acids (metabolized in muscle), plays an important role in increasing protein in the body and as an energy source during exercise. Since the scalp, hair, and hair root are also formed of protein, it can be assumed that the above-mentioned action is also applied to the scalp, hair, and hair root.
“Lysine” is a typical essential amino acid, and it has been reported that it promotes glucose metabolism in the body, and is related to body tissue and calcium absorption, and it is known to act to improve immunity.
