Below we summarize information about the relationship between zinc and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/\">AGA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Role and effects of zinc<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cell growth and repair<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Role<\/strong>: Zinc plays an important role in cell growth and repair. It is especially needed to maintain the health of hair follicles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Effect<\/strong>: Deficiency of zinc can impede cell division and growth and promote hair loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Immune function support<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Role<\/strong>: Zinc is essential for maintaining the normal functioning of the immune system. A healthy immune system supports scalp health and helps hair growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The relationship between zinc and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/\">AGA<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regulation of DHT levels<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Theory<\/strong>: Some research suggests that zinc may inhibit the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT is considered to be the main cause of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/\">AGA<\/a>, and lowering its levels may be able to suppress the progression of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/\">AGA<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Evidence<\/strong>: However, the scientific evidence for this effect is still insufficient and further research is needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anti-inflammatory effect<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Role<\/strong>: Zinc has anti-inflammatory properties and may prevent hair loss by reducing scalp inflammation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Research and clinical trials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Relationship between zinc deficiency and hair loss<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Research results<\/strong>: Zinc deficiency has been confirmed to be a contributing factor to hair loss. Zinc deficiency, in particular, has been shown to increase the risk of widespread hair loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Effects of supplements<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clinical trial<\/strong>: Although there are limited studies showing a direct effect of zinc supplements on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/\">AGA<\/a>, if zinc deficiency is suspected, taking supplements may help improve hair loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zinc is an important nutrient for maintaining hair health, and zinc deficiency can contribute to hair loss. However, there is still a lack of conclusive evidence on how effective zinc supplements are <a href=\"\">aga<\/a>inst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/\">AGA<\/a>. Medications such as finasteride and minoxidil are commonly recommended for the treatment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/\">AGA<\/a>, and zinc supplements may play a supporting role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several studies and clinical trials have been conducted regarding the relationship be&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6027,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"meta_title":"","meta_description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[59,60,62,63,79,71],"class_list":{"0":"post-4487","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-aga-en","8":"tag-beginner-en","9":"tag-baldness-en","10":"tag-effectiveness-en","11":"tag-hair_loss-en","12":"tag-treatment-en","13":"tag-thinning_hair-en","14":"article"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4487"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4487\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4490,"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4487\/revisions\/4490"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/aga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
