Quercetin and houttuynia cordata extract may stimulate hair growth by enhancing cellular energy metabolism and increasing growth factor secretion. Quercetin has low oral bioavailability, and its natural tint might stain the scalp if used topically.
The user is pleased with the hair growth results after using a topical treatment containing Minoxidil, Finasteride, azelaic acid, retinol, and caffeine for two years. The treatment was applied once daily before sleep.
