TLDR Silver nanoparticles made from Ziziphus nummularia fruit extract promote hair growth and fight bacteria and fungi.

The study successfully synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Ziziphus nummularia fruit extract and characterized them through various techniques. The AgNPs demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against several bacterial and fungal strains, including S. aureus and Candida albicans. Additionally, the AgNPs showed promising results in promoting hair growth in rabbits, comparable to the effects of minoxidil. This green synthesis method offers an eco-friendly and effective approach for producing AgNPs with potential applications in pharmaceuticals and hair growth treatments. Further toxicological studies and clinical trials are recommended before commercial use.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

community Advice needed on ‘The Ordinary - Multipeptide serum’. It contains Redensyl, Procapil, Capaxyl, Baicapil and Anagain. All the ingredients individually have shown results but I wanna know if anyone has tried something similar and had side effects? Link of product attached.

community Certified old, at 51, balding since 25, the resurrection!

community Sept 2020 to June 2023. First 13 months on FIN. Now 20 months on DUT. Also use topical 5% Minoxidil. Turning 44 in four months.

community so pissed off at the world. hairloss is a nightmare in your early 20's (WARNING, RANT)
