Hair Growth

Our goal is to make your dream concept a commercial product, integrating our strong knowledge of ingredients and techniques to help you make the right decisions

Hair Growth

Excessive hair loss/fall is a universal but serious health problem, with close to 50% of men and women affected, especially among people infected with COVID-19. Hair thinning is another symptom among women. Manufacturing companies in the hair supplement market are capitalizing on this opportunity to increase the availability of hair vitamins through social media platforms and e-commerce. On top of it, consumers are looking for nutrition (functional foods and nutraceuticals) meant for hair growth and prevention of falls and given this, manufacturers are well-positioned to respond. Given this data, food industries are interested in producing hair growth products in the form of food and nutraceutical products to capitalize on the market.

  • The underlying factors in the hair fall problems are multifactorial such as genetics, hormones, stress and environmental exposure can trigger and sustain hair loss pathophysiology. All the above factors interact and influence each other, significantly impacting follicular biology. Micro-inflammation at the level of the follicle is a common thread in all types of hair loss. ROS trigger the release of pro-fibrotic and growth-inhibiting TGF-b and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, and IL-1, which promotes apoptosis. Understanding this mechanism, our cosmeceutical scientific and research experts are dedicated to developing market-leading cosmeceuticals through various functional food and beverages-based strategies, herbal preparations, and supplements derived from plants and marine organisms.

Sensory and Shelf Life

  1. Our prototype meets your sensory within the sphere of physical and scientific possibility by using a unique combination of ingredients without negatively affecting their colour, taste, texture and shelf life.

    Regulatory: A prototype that meets the regulatory requirement that governs food processing, including those established by the local and international regulations (e.g., FDA and EU regulations )

    Science-Based Nutrition: An evidence-based prototype that is specifically built based on science to meet the targeted consumer’s needs. In this case, the development of hair fall reduction and hair growth products demands multi-targeting, geared to address not only triggering factors but also mitigating downstream mediators of inflammation. Evidence showed that nutraceuticals, functional foods and botanicals have been effective in improving hair growth, thicker structure and increased smoothness.

    • Botanicals: Due to their multi-modal biologic activity against inflammation, oxidative damage and intermediatory signalling cascade, botanicals have been widely in use. Besides, there are safe, and now with solvent-free technologies extracting plant parts and standardizing them to exact doses that produce clinical effects are possible. This includes Curcumin, Ashwagandha, Saw Palmetto, Tocotrienols, Piperine, Marine Collagen

FRL's scientists and formulation experts identify new delivery mechanisms (such as liposomes) and research-active compounds to develop a highly functional nutraceutical product that provides the intended results. Through years of expertise and knowledge, we bring in the right solutions that fit your requirements.

At Food Research Lab, we give significance to the following aspects of developing a successful functional food product or a Nutracosmeceutical product. Any ingredient incorporated into the formulation needs to achieve its intended function in the human body at the same time must adhere to safety guidelines. At FRL, we substantiate this from many different types of scientific investigation, including secondary research for existing ingredients or, if it's novel, publishing the work in reputable, peer-reviewed journals. Data for this will also be derived from the purity and sustainability of the components (e.g., metal test), chemical comparisons and analysis, activities (e.g., ORAC or oxygen radical absorbance activities), testing in animal models, genomic/gene expression studies, in vitro bioassays and, most compelling of all, human clinical testing. Through years of expertise and knowledge, we bring in the right solutions that fit your requirements.

We follow quality measures to ensure the products are safe from both the supplier and the buyer's perspectives. We carry out Marker Chemistry (e.g., HPLC, GC etc.), Microbiology tests (e.g., Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Escherichia Coli), heavy metal analysis (e.g., lead, arsenic, cadmium kept below the regulatory limits), Contamination (e.g., metal flakes from machinery), physical characteristics (e.g., powders for tablets must have low moisture content) and stability (e.g., the time for a product from initial production). We use compendium methods (USP and European Pharmacopeia) for an extensive validation process.

We follow a specific set of regulations that a product must adhere to. This includes manufacturing flow chart, solvents, quantitative ingredient lists, physical characteristics, GMO status, certifications, radiations, pesticide/chemical/ residue, contaminants, microbiology, allergens, animal derivation, and safety (Standard Material Safety Data Sheet – toxicity or clinical testing). We ensure to assist in vetting and clearing the ingredient supplier completes clearance through the target country’s regulatory agency prior to its inclusion in formulas. Through our years of experience, our team can speed up the acceptance and inclusion of new material. Our product development team complies with the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDA 2009) and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (Federal Trade Commission 2011). Our team ensures to use only acceptable ingredients that are found in the INCI, International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, allocated by the American Cosmetic Association

At Guires food research lab, we formulate food and nutraceuticals for specific products targeting hair growth. Food Research Lab's scientific expertise partners to create winning products that meet the above requirements.
