2 / 2 results- Are Procyanidin based hair tonics or shampoos effective against androgenic alopecia? Three small trials of topical procyanidin in 29 to 43 men, all run by the company that developed it, reported modest hair-count gains after four to six months. No independent trial has confirmed them, and procyanidin is not an approved treatment for pattern hair loss.
- Can Procyanidin supplements taken orally help strengthen existing hair and prevent shedding? One 2-month trial of an apple-extract supplement from the study authors' own group (250 adults, no parallel placebo group) reported more hair growth compared with each person's starting point. Oral procyanidin has not been shown in a placebo-controlled comparison to strengthen hair or prevent shedding.
- How long should Procyanidin be used before seeing visible improvements in hair volume or density? The three published trials of topical procyanidin alone measured results at four to twelve months, so any visible change would take at least several months. All were small, in men only, and run by the company that developed the ingredient; procyanidin is not an approved hair-loss treatment.
