RootBioTec, a basil hairy root extract, claims to reduce hair loss by 31% in two months by inhibiting 5α reductase II and stimulating hairfollicles. There is limited independent information available about its effectiveness.
The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically discussing the effectiveness of Red Ginseng Extract in promoting hairgrowth. Other treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hairgrowth in isolated hairfollicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
Minoxidil can prevent hairfollicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hairgrowth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
