Bromelain And Finasteride Combination Therapy Induces Hair Regrowth In Alopecia Participants

The study examined the effects of combining bromelain with finasteride on hair regrowth in 24 alopecia participants over 12 weeks. The bromelain + finasteride group showed significant improvements, with a 22% increase in hair count, 18% in thickness, and 24% in density, outperforming the finasteride-only and placebo groups. This group also experienced reduced inflammatory markers IL-1 and TNF-α, indicating bromelain's anti-inflammatory benefits. Participants reported high satisfaction, with a mean score of 8.5 out of 10, despite mild scalp irritation in 25% of the combination group. The study suggests bromelain could enhance finasteride's effects, recommending further research with larger samples and longer durations.
