He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hairgrowth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
Finasteride prevents further hair loss by blocking DHT, while minoxidil stimulates hairgrowth by prolonging the active phase of hair follicles. Stopping minoxidil can lead to loss of regrown hair because finasteride does not address the same growth mechanism.
