    TLDR The Mito-Activator Complex boosts hair growth by activating mitochondria.
    The study investigates the potential of a novel Mito-Activator Complex (MiAc), composed of nicotinamide derivatives and epigallocatechin gallate, to enhance hair growth by stimulating mitochondrial activity. In vitro analyses demonstrated increased ATP levels, mitochondrial content, and expression of mitochondrial factors in human dermal papilla cells and fibroblasts treated with MiAc. A 6-month clinical trial involving adult men and women showed significant improvements in hair density and growth without adverse effects. The findings suggest that MiAc is a promising candidate for hair loss treatment, effectively promoting hair growth through mitochondrial activation.
