BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention is an invention belonging to the field of hair tonics. More particularly, it relates to a hair tonic composition having hair care actions such as a superior hair loss preventing action, hair growth promoting action. The hair tonic composition of the present invention is specifically utilized in the pharmaceutical, quasi-pharmaceutical, or cosmetic fields. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] In contemporary society, where the percentage of senior citizens in the population is growing and stress is high, there are increasing chances of people being exposed to the danger of hair loss. [0005] In general, hair loss is believed to be caused by the activation of male hormones in the hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and other parts of the body, the decrease in the flow of blood to the hair papilla and hair follicles, hypersteatosis, abnormalities on the scalp due to production of peroxides etc., poor nutrition, etc. [0006] Therefore, conventional hair tonic compositions have generally been formulated with ingredients having actions in eliminating or alleviating these causes. [0007] For example, in order to improve the circulation of blood at the scalp, vasodilators such as swertia herb extract, vitamin E and its derivatives, acetylcholine derivatives, and skin function promoters such as cepharanthine are formulated. To suppress inflammation of the scalp arising due to hypersteatosis etc., antipyrotics such as shikon extract are formulated. To suppress male hormones, female hormones such as estradiol are formulated. Further, to enrich the hair follicles etc., amino acids such as serine and methione, vitamins such as vitamin B.sub.6, etc. are formulated. These are used for the purpose of the prevention of hair loss, the promotion of hair growth, etc. [0008] While various attempts have been made as explained above, conventional hair tonics have not necessarily had sufficient hair care actions such as prevention of hair loss and promotion of hair growth. This is probably due to the fact that there are various causes for hair loss or the mechanism of hair growth is extremely complicated. Considering the diversity of reasons for hair loss and the complexity of the mechanism of hair growth, it is desirable to provide a novel hair tonic composition having superior hair care actions. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] Accordingly, the objects of the present invention are to obviate the problems in the prior art and to provide a novel hair tonic composition having superior hair care actions. [0010] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a hair tonic composition comprising, [0011] at least one active ingredient selected from the group consisting of adenosine, adenosine 5'-phosphates, and salts of adenosine 5'-phosphates; and [0012] a carrier therefor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0013] The present invention will be better understood from the description set forth below with reference to the accompanying drawing of FIG. 1, which is a graph showing the results of blood flow acceleration effect of the adenosine. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0014] The present inventors engaged in broad studies on various substances to solve the problem and, as a result, found that adenosine, adenosine 5'-phosphates and/or the salts of adenosine 5'-phosphates have superior hair care actions such as hair loss preventing action and hair growth promoting action, whereby the present invention has been completed. [0015] That is, the present invention provides a hair tonic composition containing adenosine, adenosine 5'-phosphates and/or the salts of adenosine 5'-phosphates as an active ingredient. [0016] Note that in the present invention, the "hair care" is used in the sense including a hair loss preventing action and a hair growth promoting action. Further, the hair tonic composition of the present invention may be used as an external skin application composition such as a medicinal cosmetic composition for hair care. [0017] The present invention will now be explained in detail. [0018] The hair tonic composition of the present invention, as explained above, contains, as an active ingredient, adenosine, adenosine 5'-phosphates, and/or the salts of adenosine 5'-phosphates. [0019] The adenosines capable of formulating, as an active ingredient, in the hair tonic composition of the present invention is one type of ribonucleoside and contains a purine derivative, adenine, at the base portion thereof. Adenosine 5'-phosphate is also called 5'-adenylic acid and is a nucleotide having one phosphate molecule bonded to the 5'-position hydroxyl group of the ribose of adenosine. [0020] Further, in the salt of adenosine 5'-phosphate, as the counter ion for forming the salt, any substance may be used so long as forming an acid and counter ions. For example, sodium, potassium, calcium, etc. may be mentioned. Further, it is also possible to use the hydrate as the salt of adenosine 5'-phosphate. [0021] In the hair tonic composition of the present invention, it is possible to use, as the adenosine, adenosine 5'-phosphates, and the salts of adenosine 5'-phosphate, those which are commercially available as reagents. [0022] The content of the adenosine, adenosine 5'-phosphates, and/or the salts of adenosine 5'-phosphates in the hair tonic composition of the present invention can be varied depending upon the form, method of application, etc. of the hair tonic composition of the present invention, but in general is 0.01 to 20.0% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 10.0% by weight. If the content is less than 0.01% by weight of the total weight of the hair tonic composition, the desired effect of the present invention does not tend to be sufficiently obtained, and therefore, this is not preferable, while if the amount is more than 20.0% by weight, there is a remarkable tendency of causing problems in the preparation, and therefore is again not preferred.
