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.

I purchased this complex for my dad, who has been irritable and fatigued. After just over a week on the capsules, there was a noticeable improvement in his nervous system, and he slept better. I previously used it for hair loss, and it helped me significantly.

This is the best B complex I've tried. My hair has visibly improved. Previously, I took B vitamins from another manufacturer without seeing results. By the middle of the course, I noticed a significant decrease in hair fragility and loss.

My hair has noticeably improved. I switched from another B vitamin brand without seeing results. Midway through the course, I observed reduced fragility and hair loss, and I became less nervous, with hormonal balance returning to normal.

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.

The high dosage B complex is effective for chronic fatigue, depression, and hair loss. After taking it as advised by my doctor, I feel more energised and calmer, and my hair has stopped falling out. Large capsules, but more effective than injections.
