Recent research has shown promising results for using kimchi and cheonggukjang probiotics to combat hair loss. In a clinical study, participants experienced a significant increase in hair count and thickness after just one month of consuming a probiotic product derived from these traditional Korean foods. This suggests that the probiotics may stimulate hair growth by promoting the anagen phase, the active growth phase of the hair cycle. While further research is needed, these findings offer a potential natural solution for those struggling with hair loss.
