The Effects of Tea Polyphenolic Compounds on Hair Loss Among Rodents

In a study conducted 18 years ago, the effects of polyphenolic compounds found in green tea on hair loss were examined in 60 female Balb/black mice. These mice were divided into two groups: Group A (experimental) and Group B (control). Group A received a 50% fraction of polyphenol extract from dehydrated green tea in their drinking water for six months, while Group B received regular drinking water. The results showed that 33% of the mice in Group A experienced significant hair regrowth during the six-month treatment period (p = 0.014), while no hair growth was observed in the control group.
