STRESS & CORTISOL SUPPORT

Adaptan – Stress Support for Healthy Hair Growth

Stress is one of the most common triggers for excessive hair shedding and can worsen existing hair loss conditions. Prolonged physical or emotional stress may disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, contributing to diffuse hair shedding (telogen effluvium) and exacerbating androgenetic (pattern) hair loss.

At The Hair Clinic, we use Adaptan as part of a comprehensive, doctor-led hair restoration programme. While it is not a replacement for medical hair loss treatments, it complements our evidence-based therapies by supporting healthy stress adaptation, adrenal function and nervous system balance.

Key Ingredients

Adaptan contains a carefully selected combination of traditional adaptogenic herbs, including:

● Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa)
● American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)
● Additional traditional herbs selected to support adrenal function, nervous system health and the body’s response to stress.

These herbs have traditionally been used to nourish the adrenal glands, support the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and improve resilience during periods of ongoing physical and emotional stress.

How Adaptan Supports Hair Health

The hair follicle is highly sensitive to physiological stress. Elevated stress levels may alter the normal hair growth cycle, increasing the number of follicles entering the shedding (telogen) phase.

Adaptan contains adaptogenic herbs traditionally used to support healthy adrenal and pituitary function while improving the body’s ability to adapt to stress. Research suggests that American ginseng may influence GABA receptor activity and neurotransmitter regulation, helping support a balanced nervous system and healthy stress response.

By promoting healthy HPA axis function and supporting resilience to stress, Adaptan helps create a healthier internal environment that complements our medical hair restoration treatments.

Doctor’s Advice

At The Hair Clinic, we recognise that successful hair restoration often requires addressing the underlying factors contributing to hair loss. Adaptan is used as part of an individualised, doctor-led treatment programme to support healthy stress adaptation and nervous system function alongside our evidence-based medical hair restoration therapies.

Your doctor will determine whether Adaptan is appropriate based on your medical history, symptoms and personalised treatment plan.
