1365 Interest of Biotrinine ®, a mix of Nasturtium officinale and Tropaeolum majus extracts, for chronic hair loss treatment

The hair follicle (HF) undergoes cycles of growth (anagen), regression (catagen) and resting (telogen) phases. Chronic hair loss is caused by the shortening of the active growing phase (anagen) and the extension of the quiescence phase (telogen) of the HF, which occurs mainly under the control of androgens that activate the expression of hair growth cycles inhibitors in dermal papilla cells. This imbalance leads first to the miniaturization of HFs, then to the loose of their ability to generate new hair shafts.
