GlossaryHepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF)

protein aiding cell growth, movement, and differentiation

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), also known as Scatter Factor (SF), is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, movement, and differentiation. It is particularly important in liver regeneration and wound healing, and has been studied for its potential in promoting hair growth and treating conditions like alopecia.

community Opinions on this study for Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 1 year ago

The user shared their 5-year hair loss journey, initially using a product called Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer, which gave good results. Later, they switched to FDA-approved medications finasteride and minoxidil, which also helped, but they noticed the most significant progress with Triphasic. They're considering trying it again if minoxidil doesn't show improvements.
