January 2024 in “Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine” The study investigated the effectiveness and safety of a hair growth formulation containing 1% teak leaf extract (HT-teak) in 81 males with androgenic alopecia over 24 weeks. It was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing HT-teak with 5% minoxidil and a placebo. Both HT-teak and minoxidil significantly increased target area hair count and the anagen-to-telogen ratio while reducing hair shedding, with no significant changes in the placebo group. HT-teak users reported the highest satisfaction scores, and no adverse effects were noted. The study concludes that teak leaf extract is a potentially effective and safe alternative for promoting hair growth in individuals with androgenic alopecia.
