2 / 800 results- Is there a difference between Procyanidin B2 and other forms when it comes to treating hair loss? Procyanidin B-2 is the most studied form, not a proven better one. In a 1999 mouse study, other procyanidins (B-3 and C-1) regrew as much hair or more.

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.
- 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.
