We examined a new strain derived from the human microbiome, Cicaria, to see how it helps with hair loss. Through testing on individuals with hair loss and comparing them to a control group with normal scalps, we found that Cicaria produced key compounds like adenosine and biotin. Notably, hair follicles treated with these elements displayed longer lengths and maintained healthier root diameters. Furthermore, these treatments appeared to support the phases of hair growth, slowing the transition to hair loss. Thus, Cicaria shows potential as a treatment for hair loss.

We explored the effects of Dexpanthenol, a vitamin B5 precursor, on hair follicle cells. Our findings showed that Dexpanthenol boosted cell viability and proliferation in human dermal papilla and outer root sheath cells. It reduced markers of cell aging and death while promoting factors that extend the hair growth phase.
However, our results indicate that while Dexpanthenol may have potential for stimulating hair growth through these mechanisms, further studies are necessary to establish its effectiveness in combating hair loss more broadly.

Valproic acid treatment and hair loss
We explored the relationship between antiepileptic medications, specifically valproic acid and carbamazepine, and various serum levels in children.
Our findings indicated no significant changes in biotin or biotinidase enzyme levels between the medication groups and healthy controls. However, we noted lower zinc levels in both treatment groups, though still within normal limits.
Interestingly, three participants on valproic acid experienced hair loss. Remarkably, this issue resolved after a three-month regimen of biotin supplementation, suggesting a potential benefit of biotin for hair health.

Stops hair loss

Excellent product! It’s high quality, made from natural ingredients, and non-GMO. My doctor recommended it after I experienced severe hair loss. Thankfully, my hair has stopped falling out, and I no longer suffer from back pain. I’m ordering it for the second time. Thank you, iHerb!

Topical solution shows promise in hair loss
We explored the effectiveness of a new topical formulation combining minoxidil, finasteride, biotin, and caffeine on male androgenetic alopecia, which is a common hair loss condition. Over six months, five participants applied the solution daily and attended regular evaluations.
By the end of the study, all patients showed noticeable improvements in hair thickness and overall appearance. While satisfaction levels varied, with some reporting neutral reactions at the three-month mark, most recognized benefits after six months. This suggests that the formulation could be a promising option for treating hair loss in men.

We evaluated the effects of vitamin B6 and calcium pantothenate on hair loss in 46 women with diffuse alopecia. Over 4-5 months, participants received calcium pantothenate, while vitamin B6 was injected daily for 20-30 days, then again after six months.
Our findings highlighted that vitamin B6 significantly improved hair condition and reduced hair loss, especially in cases related to telogenic alopecia. However, calcium pantothenate did not demonstrate a notable positive effect in treating female hair loss.

Reduces hair loss

My best vitamin B complex! I bought it a year ago due to significant hair loss and skin flaking. Although slightly pricey at 60 capsules per month, it genuinely works. I took 1 capsule daily alongside omega 3. Initially, it didn't completely resolve my issues, but after 2-3 weeks, my hair started shedding less and my skin improved. I tried cheaper vitamins later but found their effect lacking. This complex also helped regulate my nerves, vital during work stress. If you struggle with hair and skin issues, I highly recommend it. The capsules are medium-sized, so swallowing isn’t a problem; my mother even takes them straight from a spoon.

Improves energy levels

The best B-complex! On a nutritionist's recommendation, I chose this complex after feeling weak, losing energy, experiencing stress at work, and facing hair loss with the onset of autumn. I selected this one for its active vitamin forms and trusted manufacturer. The capsules are stored in a glass jar in the fridge, ensuring freshness. While the vitamin levels aren't as high as in synthetic options, the natural ingredients absorb fully and are safe. I took two daily after meals, though they can be consumed anytime. I'm pleased with the results - a month later, I feel positive, energetic, and sleep better. My hair condition hasn't changed yet, but improvements require time. Quality is top-notch, and I'll repeat the course in six months!

Coped with hair loss
This complex has significantly helped me manage hair loss. During washing and drying, my hair used to shed everywhere. After a month of use, I noticed less hair on the comb and no clumps remaining when washing! It also helped my daughter with her hair concerns. This complex has optimal dosages of B vitamins... My daughter is now more lively, active, and balanced. An excellent product, I recommend it!
