Advecia Research:

Saw Palmetto Extract- Conventional treatments for male pattern baldness generally involve blocking the conversion of the male hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) using 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

  

These products often have bothersome side effects and may not even be that useful, depending on the severity of hair loss. Saw palmetto also functions as a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, making it useful in male pattern hair loss. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 60% of men treated with a liposterolic extract of Saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol were rated as improved on the final visit (1).

 

Phytosterol extract- This category of compounds is one of the active components in Saw palmetto. Phytosterols exhibit 5-alpha-reductase inhibition, making it useful in treating male pattern baldness (2).

  

 

Beta-sitosterol- As mentioned, blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase is a practical approach to treating male pattern baldness. Beta-sitosterol functions in this capacity and a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 60% of men treated with a liposterolic extract of Saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol were rated as improved on the final visit (1).

  

 

Green Tea Extract- Extracts of green tea contain polyphenols that influence hair loss. A specific component EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is a potent inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase (3). In animal studies of spontaneous hair loss, green tea extract has demonstrated the ability to produce significant hair regrowth when compared to control (4). Learn more about the benefits of green tea for hair loss.

  

 

L-Arginine- An amino acid that plays a role in the basic biology of hair and skin growth, L-arginine may be beneficial to people with hair loss (8). Research has shown that L-arginine can protect against oxidative damage to the hair shaft from chemical coloring agents (9). Learn more about how L arginine slows down hair loss.

  

 

L-lysine- Nutritional factors often play a role in various patterns of hair loss. This amino acid can be useful in patients noticing increased hair shedding. A double-blind study of subjects with hair loss who were taking L-lysine and iron showed that a significant proportion of patients responded well to the treatment (5).

  

 

Grape seed extract for hair loss -Components found in grape seed extract may be useful in treating hair loss. Toxicology studies in animals show that grape seed extract is a safe product, not affecting blood cells or producing adverse effects (6).

  

 

Proanthocyanidins/Procyanidins- These naturally occurring phytochemicals can affect the process of hair growth. Procyanidin B2 can act as a growth-promoting factor in animal hair cells. In a double-blind, controlled clinical trial of a 4-month procyanidin B2 treatment, increased hair diameter, and the number of hairs were observed (7).
