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.
What is Procyanidin, and how does it encourage hair growth at the follicle level? In mouse cell and animal studies, procyanidin B-2 increased hair-cell growth. Small human trials, all run by the company that developed the ingredient, reported modest gains; it is not a proven or approved hair-loss treatment.
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.
