February 2025 in “Toxicology in Vitro” In this study, DPHC from the brown alga Ishige okamurae demonstrated potential to prevent androgenic alopecia by inhibiting hair loss and promoting hair growth through multiple cellular mechanisms.
This study found that applying an ethanol extract of Prasiola japonica improved hair regrowth, length, and follicular density in testosterone-induced hair loss conditions in mice, while also promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation and reducing dihydrotestosterone production, though effects were less pronounced than those of minoxidil.
July 2023 in “Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology” This study found that oral administration of Terminalia bellirica enhanced hair growth in testosterone-suppressed conditions in both human cell and mouse models, outperforming finasteride, a current commercial hair loss treatment.
