Postpartum

• Fills the nutritional gaps between prenatal and
postnatal needs.

Pregnancy
• Anagen phase (growth) is extended. The average 75-100
hairs per day that a woman typically sheds is lessened.
• Reason: Increased amounts of progesterone and estrogen
induce anagen and prevent the hair follicle from shifting to
the resting phase (telogen).
Post-birth
• Telogen rate rises. Hair shifts out of anagen, resulting in
excess shedding about three months later.
• Reason: Estrogen and progesterone decline abruptly,
while cortisol increases 200% 2-4 days after birth,
suppressing anagen.
