L-lysine shows mixed results
We delved into the connection between nutritional factors and hair loss, especially focusing on l-lysine. The study revealed that while a variety of nutrients influence hair health, l-lysine stood out as potentially beneficial. A double-blind study showed that many women experiencing increased hair shedding responded positively to treatments combining l-lysine with iron.

However, the research also highlighted that there is no strong evidence linking low zinc levels to hair loss. Overconsumption of supplements could even worsen hair loss if no deficiency is present. Overall, while nutrition plays a role, proper hair care and understanding the hair cycle are equally significant.

Safe, effective AGA treatment documented
We investigated the effectiveness of a combination therapy for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in Asian men, treating over 18,000 patients between 2011 and 2017. This approach included oral finasteride, topical and oral minoxidil, plus monthly injections containing several key ingredients, such as lysine.

Impressively, we found marked improvements in hair restoration with 96% of patients satisfied after six months and 80% after twelve months. While minor complications occurred in a small percentage of cases, the overall treatment proved safe and effective for managing AGA.

Hair condition improved
I'm so pleased that I've discovered this L-Lysine! I started taking it four months ago, along with the FutureBiotics Hair, Skin & Nails, as I lost a considerable amount of hair last year due to extreme stress. Thankfully, since I began this combination, I can report my hair condition has improved, and hair loss is now at a normal level. I plan to finish my second bottle of NOW Foods L-Lysine, 500 mg, take a couple of months off, then start again to aid regrowth.
