Most hair serums promise visible results from the outside. They may coat the hair shaft, reduce frizz, or add shine, but they rarely address the real origin of healthy hair: the follicle itself.
AnaGain, a clinically studied extract derived from organic pea sprouts (Pisum sativum), is changing that perspective. Once used only in topical serums, AnaGain is now available in an ingestible format through Dash of Volume, a liquid wellness shot formulated to promote stronger, thicker hair from within. This evolution moves hair care from surface-level promises to root-level science, making it one of the most forward-thinking approaches in modern beauty wellness.
What Is AnaGain and How Does It Work?
AnaGain is standardized to deliver phytonutrients that activate dormant hair follicles¹. These compounds influence dermal papilla cells, which lie at the follicle base and regulate hair cycle transitions.
Clinical research demonstrates that AnaGain significantly boosts two essential signaling proteins: FGF7 (fibroblast growth factor 7) and Noggin, both key to initiating the shift from the resting (telogen) phase to the growth (anagen) phase². In a 2020 Phytotherapy Research trial, participants using pea sprout extract for eight weeks saw FGF7 increase by 56 percent and Noggin by 85 percent² ³. The study also recorded a meaningful reduction in hair loss (p < 0.002), suggesting reactivation of underperforming follicles and measurable improvement in density.
These results highlight AnaGain’s mechanism of action by supporting follicular signaling pathways that naturally regulate growth and regeneration.
Why Ingestible AnaGain Is Different
Hair health depends on much more than scalp care. Internal factors such as nutrient status, oxidative stress, hormonal shifts and microcirculation directly affect follicular vitality⁴.
Topical products act locally, but ingestible AnaGain works systemically. Once absorbed, its active molecules circulate through the bloodstream to reach the follicles⁵. This route allows the extract to influence dermal papilla cells directly, complementing topical care and nourishing the roots from within.
Emerging evidence supports the value of ingestible botanicals for hair. Reviews in Frontiers in Pharmacology and Nutrients report that bioavailable plant peptides and polyphenols improve scalp microcirculation, redox balance and follicular activity when consumed orally⁶ ⁷. These findings reinforce AnaGain’s role as a science-based, integrative solution that supports both internal and external aspects of hair wellness.
Nutrients That Complete The Hair Growth Equation
While AnaGain is the hero ingredient, Dash of Volume combines it with complementary nutrients addressing structure, protection and renewal:
- Bamboo Shoot Extract, naturally rich in silica, reinforces keratin networks and enhances strength and elasticity⁸.
- Grape Seed Extract, abundant in proanthocyanidins, supports scalp blood flow and protects against oxidative stress⁹.
- B Vitamins (B5 and B12) and Selenium fuel keratin production and cellular metabolism essential for a healthy scalp¹⁰ ¹¹.
Together, these components create a synergistic formula that supports the full ecosystem behind resilient hair, from nutrient delivery and follicle stimulation to strand integrity.
The Future Of Hair Care: From External to Internal
Consumers are moving beyond quick fix cosmetics toward clinically grounded wellness that nurtures beauty from the inside out. Hair health follows the same principle: true improvement comes from restoring biological balance rather than masking surface symptoms.
Dash of Volume represents this shift by offering a plant-based, scientifically supported formulation that connects internal resilience with visible vitality. Consistent use helps strengthen strands, improve density and promote long term follicular wellness.
Healthy, radiant hair begins beneath the surface. By targeting growth at the cellular level, ingestible AnaGain transforms the future of beauty, proving that real strength grows from the root up.
