Māra DENSITY – Haarwachstums-Supplement Zürich

SCIENCE over standard

Māra DENSITY is regenerative medicine’s answer to the complex causes of hair loss. Developed through biological pathways to target, strengthen, and protect your follicular microenvironment from within.

Medical Diagnostics

Every therapy begins with facts. Through a comprehensive analysis of blood markers, hormones, and metabolic parameters, we identify the individual drivers of your hair loss.

Targeted Biology

Our focus is on the tissue. The active ingredients are designed to counteract oxidative stress and inhibit the hardening of perifollicular tissue (fibrosis).

Structured Therapy

Not a single solution, but a system. DENSITY integrates into your clinical treatment plan as a daily at-home application to promote sustainably healthy hair growth.

YOUR COMPASS FOR FULL HAIR

Māra DENSITY contains a precise spectrum of nutrients, as these are the biological key factors for hair growth. But we go one step further.

By analyzing your biomarkers (such as Ferritin, Zinc, or TSH), we validate whether Māra DENSITY is sufficient or if your hair growth requires further optimization through additional medical interventions:

Ferritin
Irons
Zinc
Cortisol
vitamin D
CRP

No more guesswork. We measure your specific needs and combine high-potency nutrients with clinical expertise for results based on facts: Growth / Density / Breakage / Hormonal Balance. We create individual nutritional supplements based on deficiency symptoms, dosage requirements and your hair goal  (growth/density/breakage/hormone balance).
Stop wondering which vitamins you should take—we advise you based on your data.

Frequently asked questions

A targeted diet and a balanced lifestyle can play a crucial role in supporting hair health and positively influencing certain types of hair loss. While medications and therapies are important, proper nutrient intake forms the foundation for strong and healthy hair growth.‍

‍

Essential Nutrients for Healthy Hair

For strong hair growth and a resilient hair structure, a sufficient supply of micronutrients is essential. An unbalanced diet can lead to hair loss and structural hair problems. The following nutrients are particularly important:

- B Vitamins: Support metabolic processes at the hair root and help prevent scalp inflammation.

- Biotin (Vitamin B7): Contributes to maintaining healthy hair and is essential for keratin production.‍

- Iron: Iron deficiency is a common cause of hair loss, especially in women.

- Zinc: People experiencing hair loss often have significantly lower zinc levels in their blood.

- Vitamin D: Crucial for the hair growth cycle; a deficiency can shorten the growth phase.

Sulfur-containing amino acids such as methionine and cysteine serve as precursors to keratin and are therefore key building blocks for healthy hair. Additionally, unsaturated fatty acids play an important role in cellular metabolism and in maintaining the integrity of cell membranes within the hair roots.‍

‍

Foods That May Help Lower DHT

Because DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a major factor in hereditary hair loss, foods that naturally help reduce DHT levels can be beneficial.

- Green tea contains epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which may help block the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

- Edamame and other soy-based foods contain isoflavones that can inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase.

- Pumpkin seeds provide delta-7-sterine, a natural DHT blocker.

- Coconut oil, rich in oleic, myristic, and lauric acids, may also help reduce 5-AR enzyme activity.

- Tomatoes, high in lycopene, may support both the prevention of DHT-related hair loss and overall cellular health.‍

‍

The Role of Stress and Sleep

Chronic stress increases levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which inhibits hair growth. Stress can also lead to a rise in the number of nerve fibers surrounding the hair follicles, potentially triggering neurogenic inflammation. Noticeable hair loss typically occurs only after around 10–20% of total hair volume has already been lost.

Lack of sleep can also contribute to hair loss. Scientific studies have found a link between poor sleep and thinning hair. Sleep deprivation disrupts the circadian rhythm, which regulates healthy hair follicle function. In affected individuals, more than 30% of follicles enter the resting phase—compared to the normal 5%.

To manage stress, activities like yoga or Tai Chi are especially beneficial, as they combine movement with relaxation. Additionally, it’s important to ensure adequate sleep — typically seven to eight hours per night for most people.‍

Before effective treatments for hair loss can be used, one crucial step must come first: obtaining the correct diagnosis. The right therapy depends entirely on the underlying cause, since what works for hereditary hair loss may be ineffective for other types.‍

‍

When It’s Time to See a Doctor

Losing up to 100 hairs per day is part of the natural hair growth cycle and is no cause for concern. However, medical evaluation is recommended if any of the following signs occur:

- Daily hair loss significantly exceeding 100 strands

- Sudden or patchy shedding, especially if accompanied by scalp itching

- Clearly defined bald spots on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows

- Hair that comes out easily and painlessly when pulled

It’s also advisable to see a doctor if hair loss causes psychological distress. This emotional burden should not be underestimated—particularly for young men and women, hair loss can lead to significant mental strain. In persistent cases, support groups or professional psychological counseling can be very helpful.‍

‍

Tests That Help Identify the Cause

Diagnosis begins with a detailed medical history (anamnesis). The doctor will ask about family history, diet, possible illnesses, and other influencing factors. Then, various diagnostic tests may be performed:

- Hair Pull Test: The doctor gently tugs on a small section of hair; the number of shed hairs provides an initial indication for further investigation.

- Blood Tests: These can reveal hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or inflammation.

- Trichoscopy: A microscopic scalp examination using a dermatoscope that provides insight into hair structure and signs of inflammation.

- Trichogram: About 20–50 hairs are carefully extracted and examined under a microscope to determine their growth phases.

- TrichoScan: A computer-assisted method that measures hair density and follicle condition without removing hair.

- Biopsy: In some cases, a small scalp tissue sample may be required to distinguish between scarring and non-scarring alopecia.‍

‍

Differences Between Diffuse and Circular Hair Loss

Correctly identifying the type of hair loss is crucial for determining the right treatment strategy.

Diffuse Hair Loss affects the entire scalp, resulting in general thinning without a distinct pattern. It occurs more often in women and may be caused by:

- Hormonal changes (e.g., after pregnancy or discontinuing birth control)

- Nutrient deficiencies, especially iron, zinc, or selenium deficiency

- Thyroid disorders

- Stress or psychological strain

- Side effects of certain medications

Experts distinguish between telogen effluvium and anagen effluvium, depending on which growth phase is affected.

- Circular Hair Loss (Alopecia Areata), on the other hand, presents with distinct round or oval bald patches that can spread rapidly. This form appears suddenly and most commonly affects individuals under 30. The suspected cause is an autoimmune reaction, where the body’s immune cells attack the hair follicles. Interestingly, about 30% of cases resolve spontaneously within six months.

A precise understanding of the type of hair loss is therefore key to choosing the most effective treatment—whether pharmaceutical or natural. Only with the right diagnosis can a targeted and successful therapy be achieved.‍

When we ask why hair falls out in the first place, it’s important to understand the various underlying triggers. Identifying the cause is essential, as different types of hair loss require different treatment approaches.‍

‍

Hereditary Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss. Around 80 percent of men worldwide are affected to varying degrees, while among older women the prevalence is about 57 percent.

The mechanism behind it is fascinating: in the body, the male sex hormone testosterone is converted by an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase into its active form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In individuals with a genetic predisposition, the hair follicles are particularly sensitive to DHT, which leads to the following effects:

- The growth phase of the hair becomes shorter

- The hair does not grow as long

- The hair becomes thinner and falls out more easily

Interestingly, the predisposition to androgenetic alopecia can be inherited from either parent. However, the likelihood and extent of hereditary hair loss cannot be precisely predicted, as multiple genes are involved.

The visible pattern of hair loss differs significantly between men and women. In men, it often begins with receding hairlines and can eventually result in a bald crown. In women, the thinning typically appears along the parting line, while the frontal hairline generally remains intact.‍

‍

Hormonal Changes in Women

Hormonal fluctuations play a particularly important role in hair loss among women. Hormones directly affect the hair growth cycle and the cell division activity of the hair follicles.

While estrogens stimulate hair growth, a drop in estrogen levels or a rise in male hormones can lead to hair loss. Women are especially susceptible during the following life stages:

- During puberty

- After pregnancy

- During menopause

During menopause, estrogen levels decrease while androgen (male hormone) activity becomes more dominant. This explains why many women with a genetic predisposition only experience hormonal hair loss around menopause.

Additionally, suddenly stopping birth control pills after long-term use can trigger hormonal changes that also cause hair shedding. A particularly concerning condition is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which affects up to one in ten women and is the most common hormonal disorder among women of childbearing age.‍

‍

Stress, Diet, and Medications as Triggers

Hair loss can also be caused by factors beyond genes and hormones — stress being one of the most significant. Doctors are increasingly observing cases of diffuse hair loss associated with chronic or acute stress.

The mechanism is complex: under stress, the body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol, which inhibits hair growth. At the same time, the number of nerve fibers surrounding each hair follicle increases. These nerve fibers release chemical messengers that can irritate immune cells and trigger neurogenic inflammation.

The good news is that once the stress subsides, hair often grows back — in many cases even stronger and more pigmented than before.

Other contributing factors to diffuse hair loss include:

- Nutrient deficiencies, particularly iron deficiency

- Side effects of certain medications

- Various systemic diseases

Among the most common causes of diffuse hair loss are nutritional deficiencies. Therefore, a healthy and balanced diet is essential for anyone seeking strong, vibrant hair.

Before turning to any hair loss remedies, it’s crucial to identify the underlying cause — only then can an effective and targeted treatment be chosen.‍
