PhytoSpherix™ is a plant-based glycogen that helps reinforce the natural energy supply of hair follicles, supporting strong, thriving hair. This targeted energy boost fuels optimal growth, greater density, and visibly revitalized hair, perfectly matching the hair longevity trend.
Glycogen is the natural energy storage within hair follicles, providing cells with the energy they need for vitality and growth. Traditionally, glycogen has been sourced from animals for use in cosmetics, but this represented a limitation for many consumers. PhytoSpherix™ introduces an ethical and vegan alternative: chemically identical to animal glycogen yet derived from non-GMO sweet corn and extracted through a gentle, water-based process. This makes it a safe, natural, and unique botanical energy source for advanced, modern hair care formulations.
In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies performed on men and women have shown that PhytoSpherix™:
- stimulates ATP production in keratinocytes
- has a positive effect on hair follicle growth
- increases hair density and hair growth speed
- improves the anagen/telogen ratio
- provides a visible effect on hair growth.
In summary, PhytoSpherix™ presents an innovative cosmetic active offering plant-powered energy and proven efficacy for supported hair growth and vitalized hair.
