Can Ecklonia Cava be used as a preventive treatment for early signs of hair thinning? No human trial has tested Ecklonia cava for hair loss, so it cannot be called preventive; the evidence is mouse studies and cell cultures suggesting antioxidant activity and 5-alpha-reductase inhibition in the lab.
