Pea Sprout Extract - A Natural Food Source of Adenosine for Healthy Hair

Do you know? Incorporating these pea sprouts into your diet can keep your hair healthy? Pea sprouts, the tender young shoots of the common garden pea (Pisum sativum), have been enjoyed as a nutritious food for centuries. Beyond their fresh, slightly sweet flavor, these vibrant greens pack a powerful punch of essential nutrients that support overall health — including compounds that benefit hair growth. Rich in adenosine, biotin, and B-complex vitamins, pea sprouts offer a natural way to nourish your hair from within. Incorporating pea sprout extract into your diet or supplements can help strengthen hair follicles, promote healthy scalp function, and support the natural hair growth cycle — making it a delicious and effective choice for those seeking fuller, healthier hair.

Clinical Evidence of organic pea sprouts (Pisum sativum)

Studies have shown that these pea sprouts extract stimulates specific signaling molecules in the dermal papilla cells which are required to initiate the growth of new hair:

• Noggin, a protein that shortens the hair telogen phase
• FGF7, fibroblast growth factor-7, which promotes the proliferation of the matrix keratinocytes at the beginning of a new anagen phase.

🧬 About Mibelle Biochemistry and AnaGain™ / AnaGain™ Nu

Mibelle Biochemistry is a Swiss-based company known for developing cutting-edge, science-backed active ingredients for cosmetics, personal care, and nutraceuticals. They specialize in plant-based biotechnology and are widely recognized for creating clinically validated ingredients that merge nature and science. One of their standout innovations in the hair care space is AnaGain™, followed by its ingestible counterpart, AnaGain™ Nu.

AnaGain™ (Topical) is a water-soluble extract from organic pea sprouts (Pisum sativum). It is used in topical hair serums, sprays, leave-in treatments, and scalp boosters.

AnaGain™ Nu is a food grade version of AnaGain™, designed for oral supplementation.

Clinical studies show AnaGain™ / AnaGain™ Nu can reduce hair shedding and prolongs the anagen growth phase of the hair cycle. It is ideal for those who experienced Telogen effluvium (hair shedding - lose more than 100 hairs per day), thinning hair, early-stage alopecia, postpartum shedding etc.

Why REGENSIFY didn't use AnaGain in our hair serum?

Due to its rich source of Adenosine, you can see that AnaGain™ / AnaGain™ Nu excels in stimulating the FGF7 growth factor of the hair. Hence, Topical AnaGain™ works similar to Topical Adenosine in some ways and there isn't a need to have both of them that are similar inside a hair serum.

There are stronger number of medical literature done on Topical Adenosine. As a small, hydrophilic molecule, Topical adenosine can penetrate well into the scalp and directly reach the hair follicle cells, where it binds to adenosine receptors (A2A) on dermal papilla cells, activating FGF7 expression and promoting anagen phase. Also, when topical adenosine combines with topical CoQ10, it creates synergistic effects, which we will elaborate next time in future blog. All these reasons explain why we prefer to continue sticking to topical Adenosine.

Why REGENSIFY uses AnaGain™ Nu in our hair supplement?

However, when we wanted to develop our hair supplement, we were faced with a challenge. Whether it is pure Adenosine or pure Adenosine Triphosphate powder, it has a very short half life when consumed. It gets absorbed into the bloodstream too quickly and will not survive long in circulation inside the body to benefit the hair follicles.

This situation is like the reverse case of Vitamin E:

• Oral Vitamin E works well on hair but not topical Vitamin E.
• Topical Adenosine works well on hair but not oral Adenosine.

However, if it is presented as a form of food such as pea sprout extract, the nutrients inside (including adenosine) gets better circulated within the body. That is why we choose AnaGain™ Nu as one of our key ingredients inside our REGENSIFY Redensifying Hair Nutrition. If you are looking for a good anti hair loss supplement with 100 mg of AnaGain™ Nu, you can take a look at our REGENSIFY Redensifying Hair Nutrition. 

The REGENSIFY Redensifying Hair Nutrition is an Advanced Hair Nutrition Supplementation formulated with patented ingredient AnaGain™ Nu, DHT Blockers (Saw Palmetto, Ecklonia Cava), Coenzyme Q10, L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, Tocotrienol, Tripeptide Collagen, Biotin, Keratin, Vitamin D3, Zinc and Iron.

✅ Combining hair supplement (E.g REGENSIFY Redensifying Hair Nutrition) with hair serum (E.g. REGENSIFY Redensifying Hair Regrowth Serum) gives you better 1+1>2 results. Here's why:

• Taking DHT Blockers orally is better than using topical DHT Blockers
• Topical is better than Oral when it comes to stimulating the hair
• If you just had a hair transplant, it is better to take a hair supplement because your newly transplanted hairs need all the nutrients (Vitamin E, CoQ10, Zinc, Iron etc) to thrive in a new scalp environment. Finasteride and Minoxidil do not provide the nourishing nutrients needed for transplanted hair
• For men who are afraid to take Finasteride or Dutasteride, then taking a hair supplement with natural DHT Blockers (Saw Palmetto + Ecklonia Cava) is a good alternative to keep your DHT in control, as well as nourish and maintain your hair
  

✅ Final Verdict

If you can eat this pea sprouts frequently in your daily diet, it will be good for your hair. But for me, I don't really like the taste of pea sprouts. So, I know I need the REGENSIFY Redensifying Hair Regrowth Serum for the topical adenosine and the REGENSIFY Redensifying Hair Nutrition for the oral AnaGain™ Nu.
