    TLDR Garlic chive extract helped mice grow more hair by increasing a specific growth factor.
    The 2015 study demonstrated that the n-butanol extract of Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Spreng (ATRES) significantly promoted hair growth in mice by increasing the number of hair follicles and specifically stimulating the expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). The study identified four fractions from the n-butanol extract, with the n4 fraction showing the highest activity, although less than the whole extract. The findings suggest that ATRES could be a potential source for hair growth-promoting treatments, with n-butanol extraction being an efficient method to obtain the active components. The study used six mice in each group for the in vivo analysis.

      community Does onion juice actually stop hair fall, or is it just hype?

      in Treatment 1 month ago
      Onion juice may temporarily improve hair health by boosting blood circulation and providing antibacterial benefits, but it is ineffective against genetic or hormonal hair loss. Proven treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are recommended for more reliable results.
