A Pilot Investigation of a Gummy-Based Hair Nutraceutical: Preliminary Efficacy Findings

This pilot study investigates the efficacy of Xtressé™, a gummy-based hair nutraceutical, in addressing female hair loss. Preliminary results from 9 participants out of the planned 60 show that Xtressé™ supplementation leads to an increase in hair count and mass, particularly in cases of female pattern hair loss and early-stage central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA). The average hair count increase was +7.8 hairs/cm², with a more significant increase of +16.6 hairs/cm² when excluding scarring alopecia cases. Hair mass also increased notably in non-scarring cases. These findings suggest that Xtressé™ may be a promising treatment for thinning hair, emphasizing the importance of early intervention in CCCA to prevent irreversible damage.
