    TLDR Herbal preparation effectively promotes hair growth and reduces hair loss.
    This document presents multiple studies that evaluated the effectiveness of a 7.5% herbal preparation in treating androgenetic alopecia. The studies involved male and female subjects who applied the preparation topically for 6-48 weeks. The results showed a significant increase in total hair count, non-vellus hair count, terminal hair count, hair length, and hair weight, as well as a decrease in hair loss. The herbal preparation was found to be safe and effective in promoting hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia.
