    TLDR Low-temperature extracts of black beans, peony, and green tea improve scalp health and are better than traditional hot-water extracts.
    The 2009 study investigated the use of low-temperature extraction of black beans, peony, and green tea, known for their scalp improvement properties. The study found that this method retained over twice the antioxidant strength compared to hot-water extraction. The low-temperature extracts were found to effectively strengthen hair follicles, moisturize the scalp, and prevent itchiness. Therefore, the study concluded that low-temperature extracted black beans, peony, and green tea could be used effectively in scalp treatments.

      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.

      Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to differences in sulfotransferase enzyme levels in the scalp, affecting people with conditions like ASD, liver disease, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments like topical tretinoin, microneedling, and using minoxidil sulfate instead of regular minoxidil can improve results for those with low enzyme levels.
