February 2024 in “PloS one” This study found that certain nutraceuticals did not interfere with tamoxifen's inhibition of estrogen in breast cancer cells and may enhance its effects, suggesting potential as an adjuvant therapy for hair loss in patients undergoing endocrine therapy.
February 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this cell-based study, researchers found that certain nutraceuticals combined with tamoxifen may influence estrogen receptor expression, potentially offering a protective effect and promoting hair growth during breast cancer therapy.
December 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study suggests that certain nutraceuticals may enhance the inhibitory effects of tamoxifen on estrogen in breast cancer cells and potentially offer protective benefits for hair growth in patients undergoing endocrine therapy.
August 2021 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study explored the effects of various nutraceutical ingredients on breast cancer cell lines but found no conclusive information regarding their interaction with tamoxifen therapy.
