    TLDR The Trust tonic is more effective than minoxidil for treating hair loss.
    The study compared the effectiveness of the Trust tonic's active ingredients (Capixyl, Procapil, and rosemary extract) with 2% minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia in two groups of 20 males over 24 weeks. Results showed that the Trust tonic group had significantly higher self-assessment scores (64% vs. 36%) and staff assessment scores (60% vs. 30%) for hair growth improvement compared to the minoxidil group. Photographic evaluations also indicated a 57% improvement in hair growth for the Trust tonic group versus 8% for the minoxidil group. The study concluded that the Trust tonic could be a more effective alternative to minoxidil for treating androgenetic alopecia.
