research Enhanced VEGF Expression in Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells by Centella Asiatica Linn
Centella asiatica extract may help promote hair growth.
research Estrogen Induces VEGF Expression in Dermal Papilla Cells
Estrogen increases a growth factor in hair cells which might affect hair loss.
research Analysis of Thymosin β4 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression in Normal Human Tissues Using Tissue Microarray
Thymosin β4 and VEGF are important for blood vessel formation in many organs.
research Finasteride Inhibits Microvascular Density and VEGF Expression in the Seminal Vesicle of Rats
Finasteride reduces blood vessel formation in seminal vesicles.
research Kyoh® Rocket Leaf Extract Regulates Proliferation and VEGF and FGF7 Expression in Human Dermal Follicle Papilla Cells
The study examines the effects of Kyoh® rocket leaf extract on human dermal follicle papilla cells, highlighting its potential as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia. Kyoh® contains 2.1% total flavonoids and significantly enhances the expression of hair growth-associated growth factors VEGF and FGF7, with increases of up to 267.3% and 244.3% respectively after 24 hours. It also boosts NRF2 expression by 71.2%, suggesting antioxidant benefits. The extract does not affect 5α-reductases, indicating it does not interfere with DHT production. These findings suggest Kyoh® could be a promising natural alternative to chemical treatments, promoting hair growth with fewer side effects.

Hair loss and potential treatments, primarily focusing on Finasteride and Minoxidil. Other solutions discussed include PRP, dermarolling, LLP, and scalp tension relief.
community What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
community NMN Promotes Cell Proliferation and Hair Growth by Reducing Oxidative Stress
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
community Long term finasteride users; Did you notice any improvement after 2 years?
Long term Finasteride users and whether or not they have noticed improvements after two years of use, with other treatments such as Minoxidil and dermarolling also discussed. Some replies suggest that improvement is possible even beyond the two year mark while others caution against believing studies backed by the Post-Finasteride Foundation.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
