    TLDR The food supplement may help reduce hair shedding and improve hair growth.
    The study titled "Evaluation of the efficacy of a food supplement on subjects with acute telogen effluvium" is a double-blind, multicentric, randomized, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of a food supplement containing hydrolyzed keratin (KerPep®) in reducing hair shedding, improving hair radiance, and increasing hair growth rate in subjects with acute telogen effluvium. The study involves 66 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 60, with a balanced gender distribution, and is conducted over a 3-month period with intermediate assessments. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the active supplement or a placebo, with outcomes measured using TrichoScan® for hair shedding, pull tests for telogen diagnosis, and self-assessment questionnaires for skin and nail effects. The study is ongoing, with completion expected by March 6, 2026.

      Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.

      The user has been losing hair for over two years despite taking dutasteride and RU58841, even increasing dutasteride to 2.5mg. They are questioning if their hair loss could be due to telogen effluvium instead.
