Burusoils and proteins

It is impossible to deny many friends that being bald generates a great psychological problem. There is nothing more to see how many medicines and shampoos are announced in the press against hair loss. And although everyone claims that they will solve the problem, there is currently no known effective procedure.

Dr. Marty Sawaya of the University of Miami said that the origin of baldness is the protein imbalance of scalp cells.

The skin cells of the head have a high concentration of a large specific protein. In the case of Burusoil, on the contrary, this protein is replaced by a protein four times lower.

Dr. Sawaya does not remain alone at the level of constancy. It has isolated another protein that blocks the work of the “malignant” protein that causes hair loss. This seems like another step in the fight against baldness, but it will take years to see if it really is.
