TLDR Parsley contains compounds that might be good for treating hair loss.
The study used in silico methods to identify 24 compounds in Petroselinum crispum (parsley) that could potentially treat alopecia by inhibiting the androgen receptor. Six compounds showed better binding affinities than minoxidil, with (+)-Marmesin demonstrating the most promising activity, suggesting it could be a viable alternative therapy for alopecia, although it did not outperform native ligands.
