Could Pattern Hair Loss be Caused by Gut Bacteria?

Hair Loss be Caused by Gut Bacteria

Gut bacteria have been studied extensively in recent years, and now many experts agree that the gut acts as a secondary brain in our bodies. Gut health is directly linked to a properly functioning immune system and if compromised, could lead to conditions such as pattern hair loss.

Pattern Hair Loss

If you are experiencing pattern hair loss or alopecia areata, a condition that affects about 1.7 percent of the population, it may be caused by an unhealthy gut. However, the exact causes are still unknown.

How the Gut Affects Hair Loss

Scientists at Oxford and the National Research Centre for the Working Environment in Denmark are among those who have established a link between gut bacteria and pattern hair loss. This recent discovery opens up new possibilities to treat some cases of hair loss.

Gut Bacteria and Hair Growth

To understand the connection between gut bacteria and hair loss, it helps to keep in mind that alopecia is an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks hair follicles, preventing hair growth. As with many autoimmune diseases, inflammation is the culprit and requires treatment. Probiotics are great for reducing inflammation and producing biotin. One of the essential vitamins for hair growth, biotin is usually present in the body. If you suffer from a biotin deficiency, however, taking a probiotic supplement can significantly slow hair loss. In some experiments, mice with alopecia that were treated with probiotics and given injections of biotin stopped losing their hair altogether.

Understanding the connection between hair loss and gut bacteria can help prevent further hair loss, but it cannot reverse it.
