research Physiological Importance of the Vitaminoid Thiocyanate and Its Influence on Hair Growth

October 2023 in “JOJ dermatology & cosmetics”

This study concluded that thiocyanate promotes new cell formation and hair growth in animals and humans, with therapeutic effects seen in 51% of human alopecia areata cases after treatment, attributed to diverse biological mechanisms.

research Extracellular ATP in Plants. Visualization, Localization, and Analysis of Physiological Significance in Growth and Signaling

248 citations , September 2006 in “PLANT PHYSIOLOGY”

This study observed that extracellular ATP is present in Medicago truncatula and correlates with regions of active cell growth, suggesting its integral role in plant development.

research Examining the Effect of Notocactus ottonis Cold Vacuum Isolated Plant Cell Extract on Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice Using a Combination of Physiological and OMICS Analyses

February 2023 in “Molecules”

community GFM Gel - High concentration topical gel of Mimicking Growth Factors (GFm), a complex of polypeptides that mimic the action of endogenous growth factors and promote physiological hair regrowth. Helps strengthen the hair bulb and redensify the hair.

6 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses using GFM Gel, a topical gel with polypeptides that mimic growth factors to promote hair regrowth and strengthen hair. It also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss.

community Circadian rhythm disruption and its potential impact on hair growth cycles

in Technology 7 upvotes 4 months ago

Poor sleep quality may affect hair growth cycles by disrupting the body's natural clock and stress hormones. The focus should be on improving sleep to support overall health, including hair growth, rather than relying solely on treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841.

community Sunlight: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth or Hair Loss?

in Research/Science 64 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.

community Finasteride , creatine and muscle growth

28 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride does not significantly affect muscle gains and can slightly increase testosterone levels. Creatine is generally considered safe to use with finasteride, though some believe it may increase DHT levels, potentially affecting hair loss.

community new hair out of nowhere 3 weeks post HT! no meds, no vitamins, just growth

142 upvotes 8 months ago

After a hair transplant, the user noticed unexpected new hair growth without using medications or vitamins. Many advised starting treatments like minoxidil and finasteride to maintain the results and prevent future hair loss.

learn Caffeine

Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint; there is no placebo-controlled evidence that it regrows hair, and none at all in alopecia areata or telogen effluvium.

learn Lavender

Does lavender promote hair growth or just soothe an irritated scalp? Lavender may promote hair growth and soothe an irritated scalp.

learn Bimatoprost

Can a lash-growth serum like bimatoprost actually work for your scalp? Bimatoprost (Latisse) is approved for eyelashes, not the scalp; two Allergan phase 2 trials in men with androgenetic alopecia posted results to ClinicalTrials.gov but were never published in a peer-reviewed journal, so scalp use remains off-label and experimental.

learn Dexpanthenol

Does dexpanthenol promote hair growth? Dexpanthenol improves hair moisture and strength but does not directly promote hair growth.

learn horsetail extract

How does horsetail extract support hair growth — is it the silica, the antioxidants, or both? Horsetail extract supports hair growth primarily through its silica content.
