Pengaruh Nutrisi dalam Menjaga Kesehatan Rambut

Oleh :

dr.Jonathan Kurnia Wijaya, Sp.DVE, MRes, MSc

Defisiensi terhadap nutrisi tertentu dan pola diet sering dikaitkan dengan berbagai gangguan patologis pada rambut seperti alopesia androgenik (AGA), alopesia areata (AA), kebotakan pada wanita / female pattern hairloss (FPHL), dan telogen effluvium (TE). Oleh sebab itu, suplementasi nutrisi diduga dapat menjaga kesehatan rambut, meskipun bukti ilmiah yang mendukung masih kontroversial.[1]

Matriks folikel rambut terdiri dari sel-sel keratinosit yang senantiasa bermultiplikasi dan memperbaharui dirinya, menjadikanya salah satu organ yang paling aktif secara metabolik di tubuh sekaligus menjadi penanda awal apabila terjadi gangguan sistemik seperti defisiensi nutrisi. Pada dasarnya, faktor yang mempengaruhi kesehatan rambut bersifat multifaktorial. Ini mencakup faktor genetik, perubahan epigenetik, gaya hidup, stress, radiasi ultraviolet, serta nutrisi.[1,2]
