    TLDR The combination of watermelon skin extract and banana trunk liquid promotes hair growth in male white rats.
    The study investigated the effects of a combination of ethanol extract from the white skin of watermelon and liquid from the trunk of the kepok banana tree on hair growth in male white rats. The combination (2:1 ratio) was found to promote hair growth more effectively than the positive control, Minoxidil, in terms of hair length, although it was less effective in terms of hair weight. This suggests that the combination could be a potent alternative for promoting hair growth.

      community Rosemary oil's potency as a dht blocker

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 1 year ago
      Rosemary extract showed high inhibitory activity against DHT, similar to finasteride and dutasteride, but the conversation includes skepticism about its effectiveness in humans since the study was done on mice and rosemary oil is often considered ineffective based on personal experiences. Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.
