South Florida hair transplant doctor Larry Shapiro presented
a paper demonstrating how a nutritional supplement containing whey
protein concentrate and other nutrients can make transplanted hair
grow in more quickly, giving hair transplant patients faster
results. At "The Next Big Thing: Hair Research and Advanced Live
Surgery Workshop" in Istanbul, Turkey on May 14, hair transplant
doctors heard about this breakthrough research for the first time.
This new research is based on the theory that increased anabolic
metabolism can affect regeneration of the hair follicle. A hair
transplant involves removing healthy hair follicles and placing
them in balding areas of the scalp. The presentation examined how
hair loss can be connected to lifestyle products, specifically
anabolics that elevate testosterone and DHT. These products include
growth hormones, steroids, weight gainers, creatine, and whey
protein isolate. Research on how whey protein isolate could
possibly contribute to hair loss was presented. Whey protein
isolate is the most common source of protein in workout products.
Dr. L. Shapiro's goal was to create a workout supplement that does
not cause hair loss. He researched whey protein production and
questioned whether processing whey protein concentrate into whey
protein isolate could increase testosterone when ingested.
Increased testosterone might contribute to hair loss in men who
have the gene for male pattern balding.
