Trichologists, hair health specialists, increasingly observe a link between the consumption of energy drinks and hair problems. Suspicions about the negative impact of these drinks on hair health are based on several factors, as well as on research results:
High caffeine content: Caffeine is a stimulant that, in large doses, can trigger the production of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the main culprit behind androgenetic alopecia, male pattern baldness. In addition, caffeine constricts blood vessels, which hinders the supply of nutrients to hair follicles, necessary for normal hair growth.
Excessive sugar: Energy drinks contain a lot of sugar, which leads to sharp surges in blood sugar levels. This causes inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, which negatively affects the health of hair follicles and can stimulate hair loss.
Nutritional deficiencies: Frequent consumption of energy drinks instead of a full meal can lead to a deficiency of vitamins and minerals essential for hair health, such as vitamin D, zinc, and iron. These micronutrients play a key role in hair growth and health.
