bioflavonoid found in plants with antioxidant and hair stimulating properties

Is there a difference between Procyanidin B2 and other forms when it comes to treating hair loss? Procyanidin B2 is more effective for hair loss than other procyanidin forms.

The two published human trials of 1% topical procyanidin B-2 measured results at four and six months, so any visible change would take at least that long. Both were small, industry-run studies in men only, and procyanidin is not an approved hair-loss treatment.
What is Procyanidin, and how does it encourage hair growth at the follicle level? Procyanidin stimulates hair growth by promoting cell proliferation in hair follicles.
