Red Ginger and Its Health Benefits for Hair

Ginger is one of the ingredients that is very suitable for consumption when the weather isn’t so friendly. Besides its delicious taste and distinctive aroma, ginger drink can also warm the body. However, did you know that ginger also has a variety of other benefits apart from being a food and beverage ingredient? That’s right, this native Asia Pacific rhizome plant is very interesting because it has various benefits, especially for the health of the body. One of them is that it can help with the hair growth.

The content in ginger which plays a very important role in growing hair is flavonoids. Flavonoids have an antioxidant effect that can help improve blood circulation in the hair follicles so that they stimulate hair growth. Among the three varieties of ginger grown in Indonesia, red ginger has the highest flavonoid content, making it the most potential for use as a hair growth agent (Source 1).

From June to August 2022, Bintang Toedjoe Inovasi Natural (BINA) collaborated with the Bandung Institute of Technology School of Pharmacy to conduct research related to the efficacy of red ginger as hair growth. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the products Redgine Red Ginger Standardized Extract Powder and Redgine Red Ginger Oil Premium, compared to Minoxidil as a standard control.

The results of this study prove that Redgine Red Ginger Standardized Extract Powder and Redgine Red Ginger Oil Premium have better effectiveness because they are able to stimulate faster and longer hair growth than Minoxidil. In addition, these two Redgine products are also able to improve the condition of damaged hair follicles. So Redgine Red Ginger Standardized Extract Powder and RedGine Red Ginger Oil Premium are proven to have the potential to help grow hair. (Source 2)
