Panicum Miliaceum Seed Extract is a natural extract derived from a CO2 extraction of a grain crop called Proso millet, or just Millet. It is rich in minerals, linoleic acid, the triterpenoid miliacin, other phytosterols, and squalene, which are necessary for hair growth and prevention of loss.
Panicum Miliaceum Seed Extract contains iron, copper, zinc, manganese, and iodine in their natural form. Miliacin is a natural, biologically active compound that improves cell metabolism, boosting cell proliferation and tissue rejuvenation. Clinical studies have proven it supports hair growth, has anabolic activity, and forms lustrous and healthy hair. Miliacin activates skin repair mechanisms and has anti-inflammatory properties.
In hair care applications, Panicum Miliaceum Seed Extract is a nourishing and protective ingredient for hair, lush, and brow care. Incorporated in skin care products, it acts as a wound-healing agent and positively affects skin ulcers and purulent skin conditions.
After several years of failure to treat chemotherapy-induced hair loss, this preliminary study suggests that concomitant therapy with millet seed extract may effectively prevent complete alopecia (hair loss) following the administration of the most commonly used anti-cancer cytotoxic drugs.The percentage of third-grade alopecia (hair loss) observed in patients concomitantly treated with Panicum Miliaceum Seed Extract associated with CDDP-containing regimens was significantly lower than in those who received chemotherapy only. In addition, Millet seed extract therapy was substantially well tolerated in all patients. New hair growth may respond very slowly, and while you may see results with more outstanding beauty and thickness, one must be patient and allow ample time for hair to grow.
