- Is metformin used topically for hair loss, or only as an oral tablet? Approved metformin products are oral tablets only; there is no approved topical metformin for hair loss. Published human reports of topical use are a handful of uncontrolled, pharmacy-compounded case reports in scarring alopecia, and the most-cited clinical series actually used the oral drug.
- Is sulforaphane used in oral supplements or topical hair treatments? Sulforaphane is primarily used in oral supplements, not topical hair treatments.
- Is white tea more effective in topical hair products or as an oral supplement for hair growth? Neither topical nor oral white tea has any human clinical trial behind it for hair growth. Topical use has a more direct mechanistic rationale, but the only verifiable studies are a cell-culture EGCG experiment and a pharmacokinetic study with no hair outcomes.
