Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract

Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract, active : Biochanin A 98%, is an extract from Red Clover that has a stronger melanin-inhibiting effect than Arbutin at a usage rate up to 20 times lower.

According to experiments, Biochanin A at a concentration of 22 μM demonstrated higher efficacy than Arbutin at a concentration of 400 μM, showing that Biochanin A, extracted from Red Clover, has a melanin-inhibiting effect of at least 20 times greater.

Research on the use of Biochanin A in hair care has also found that Biochanin A can help nourish the hair and hair roots, reduce hair loss, and promote hair growth through the following mechanisms:

1. 5-alpha Reductase Inhibition : This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can cause hair follicles to shrink and stop producing hair in people with androgenetic hair loss. Biochanin A has been shown to inhibit this enzyme, which may help prevent DHT-related hair loss.
2. Antioxidant Properties : Biochanin A has antioxidant properties that can protect hair follicles from damage caused by free radicals. Oxidative stress may contribute to hair loss, and Biochanin A may help promote healthier hair growth by counteracting this effect.
3. Increased Hair Follicle Proliferation : Some studies suggest that Biochanin A may increase hair follicle proliferation by extending the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair cycle.
4. Improved Blood Circulation : Biochanin A may improve blood circulation in the scalp, helping ensure that hair follicles receive sufficient nutrients and oxygen for healthy hair growth.
