Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Quail eggs have been used in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in parts of Asia and Eastern Europe, as a remedy for hair loss and thinning. The basis for this use generally stems from the perception that quail eggs are highly nutritious, containing proteins, vitamins (such as biotin and vitamin B12), and minerals that are essential for healthy hair growth. Traditional practices may involve consuming quail eggs or applying them topically in hair masks, with the belief that these nutrients directly nourish the scalp and promote hair health. However, despite their popularity in folk remedies, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence to directly support the efficacy of quail eggs for treating hair loss or thinning. No controlled clinical trials or peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated that quail eggs have a unique benefit for hair growth compared to other sources of protein and nutrients. Any effectiveness is likely attributable to their nutritional content, which can be obtained from a balanced diet overall. Therefore, while the use of quail eggs for hair health is rooted in tradition, the evidence supporting their specific benefit for hair loss is minimal.
