Monovin A is a veterinary product that many women with hair loss have used in the hope of improving their hair health.
Hair loss is a problem that almost every woman will face throughout her life. This is an issue closely linked to hormones and stress. However, there are people who seek to resolve this situation by using products that are not designed for this purpose, such as Monovin A.
Basically, Monovin A is a veterinary medicine with a high concentration of vitamin A. Above all, it is used in cattle that have insufficient vitamin A in their bodies. It is applied intravascularly and is only found in veterinary stores.
Therefore, this product has not been regulated by Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) for use in humans. Many people, however, are using it in the famous bomb shampoo.
What is the effect of Monovin A on hair?
Bomb shampoo is a product that promises to make hair grow faster and healthier. In short, it states that it enhances hair growth by 4 cm to 7 cm per month, with the normal average being 1.25 cm.
The substances that make up the bomb shampoo are: Monovin A, liquid Bepantol and any salt-free shampoo. Normally, this mixture is made at home, allowing anyone to make it as long as they have all the products.
However, there are several controversies regarding the use of this mixture. Including, starting with the use of Monovin A. As mentioned above, it is a medicine that is only injected into animals. There is no scientific research that proves that it has beneficial effects on humans. Much less that the hair follicles are able to absorb this substance in order to cause increased hair growth.
Furthermore, Monovin A, when it comes into contact with air or sunlight, causes the degradation of its main ingredient: vitamin A. This is why when used on animals it is necessary to use a syringe. When mixing and using the pump shampoo, it constantly comes into contact with these elements.
Now, Bapantol is a product rich in vitamin B5 supplied in both paste and liquid form. It helps with the drying and healing processes of skin and hair and is highly recommended for both situations.
Salt-free shampoo is also recommended for very dry hair, because excess salt causes damage to the hair. With its use, it helps to bring back the hair’s shine.
The consequences of using Monovin A
Excessive use of bomb shampoo and, consequently, Monovin A, can cause several unwanted side effects.
Firstly, it can accentuate hair loss. Exaggerated absorption of vitamin A by the body causes the opposite effect and hair begins to break and fall out more. Nothing our body receives in large quantities is good.
However, everyone consumes vitamin A in food. And this, added to large doses of Monovin A, only increases the amount of this substance in the body.
If Monovin A spreads to other parts of the body, such as the face and neck, it can increase hair growth in unwanted places. And the work to fix this can be huge.
Other known side effects are blurred vision, diarrhea, fever, dry mucous membranes and nausea.
So what could explain the hair growth?
In short, there is no evidence that Monovin A has benefits for hair. There are not even any medicines on the market that contribute to faster hair growth.
But even so, there are people who claim that the bomb shampoo helped with hair growth and health. As well as many people even reported with photos, to prove, the entire treatment process with this product.
So what would explain the product’s effectiveness in some people? The answer is very simple: Bepantol.
As explained, Bepantol was made to repair dry skin and hair. When used in a shampoo bomb, it works to help repair the hair, preventing it from breaking more frequently.
And when the hair becomes stronger and breaks less, consequently, it falls out less. With this, Bepantol helps maintain healthy hair growth.
Therefore, Monovin A is not the real protagonist, but Bepantol.
How to solve hair loss?
Lack of vitamin A in the body may not be the only reason for hair loss. A priori, a lot of stress, postpartum, hormone deficiency, diet, genetics… All of this can contribute to hair falling out more frequently.
However, you need to see a dermatologist to find out what is causing your hair loss and use the appropriate product for your hair loss condition. Above all, the incorrect use of certain substances can cause unwanted effects, as we have seen. Therefore, see a doctor.
