learn Procyanidin

Plant polyphenol found in apples and grape seeds

What is Procyanidin, and how does it encourage hair growth at the follicle level? In mouse cell and animal studies, procyanidin B-2 increased hair-cell growth. Small human trials, all run by the company that developed the ingredient, reported modest gains; it is not a proven or approved hair-loss treatment.

learn Thymosin Beta 4

How is Thymosin Beta 4 typically incorporated into experimental or advanced hair growth products? Thymosin Beta 4 is not an ingredient in any approved hair-loss product; it is an unapproved research peptide sold online as TB-500, which the FDA flags for safety risks. Hair studies are in rats and mice only, with no human trials, and animal studies link Tβ4 to tumour spread.

learn procapil

Does Procapil block DHT without affecting hormones? What the evidence shows Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.
