Studysummary Nutricosmetics with active ingredients can help with hair loss and improve hair growth. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The document reviewed the effectiveness of nutricosmetics in treating hair loss and alopecia, presenting findings from several studies. A study with 40 male volunteers showed that taking Viviscal led to a significant increase in nonvellus hair after 6 months. Another study with 60 volunteers demonstrated significant hair growth improvements using Hairgain® compared to a placebo. A third study reported thicker hair in 48 females after taking silicon supplements for 9 months. Additionally, 30 female volunteers with telogen effluvium experienced an increase in anagen hair after 6 months of using Pantogar®. The document concluded that nutricosmetics with active ingredients can be beneficial for hair loss protection and hair rejuvenation, but highlighted the necessity for regulatory measures to ensure product safety.
