What Is Menopausal Hair Loss?

Menopause is the time in a woman’s life when her periods stop and the years of reproduction come to an end, usually around the age of 50. Common symptoms that might accompany the menopause are:

  • hot flushes
  • inability to sleep well
  • vaginal dryness
  • irritability
  • mood swings.

It is a natural and an inevitable process that every woman will go through, but by easing symptoms, it can make it a more pleasant time.

Changes in hormone levels, particularly oestrogen, have an overall impact on the body during the menopause. What you might not know is around 50% of women going through the menopause will suffer from hair loss or thinning by the age of 50! Declining oestrogen and progesterone will influence how your body copes with these physical changes and can result in some hair loss as oestrogen works to support healthy hair. The hair follicles contain hair that is shorter, thinner and more likely to break as a result of a decreased oestrogen supply. 

Although fluctuating hormone quantities are a major factor in menopausal hair loss, stress, poor sleep and a lack of essential nutrients can also have a huge impact. You may find that you have been experiencing the perimenopause (having menopausal symptoms at the same time as periods) for several years before the actual menopause takes place. This could mean that your body has been suffering from the consequences of stress, tiredness and hormonal impairment for quite a while and really needs nutritious support to restore healthy hair, skin and overall wellbeing.

Menopause is one of those times in a woman’s life when extra vitamins, minerals and natural support are all essential in easing those troubling symptoms. There is no quick fix to combatting menopausal hair loss, but there are steps you can take to promote hair growth and alleviate your symptoms. Reducing stress and being proactive in response to it can help; managing sleep better and including a range of nutrient-dense foods in your diet will lessen the effects of the menopause. Taking a natural and vitamin-rich supplement will provide extra nourishment and vital minerals so that your body can thrive.

So, what makes Ginkgo Biloba so recommended for combatting menopausal hair loss or thinning? Ginkgo is a powerful antioxidant, capable of battling the toxins that damage hair and scalp cells, strengthening hair follicles at the same time. As an anti-inflammatory, it helps to calm inflamed scalps and regulate the fluctuating hormone levels you may be experiencing to encourage healthy hair regrowth. It is common to experience higher levels of stress and anxiety due to the influx in hormone levels, which can often lead to further hair loss. Ginkgo biloba works to improve the body’s response to stress and anxiety, to support the hair regrowth process and strengthen the overall condition of your hair.
