Description
Ehrhardt Proksch and Sandra Bartylla published a supplement study in two thousand twenty-six on non-illness hair thinning. Diffuse shedding is often self-treated with supplements, but proof for ingredient mixes is thin. The tested capsules combined millet extract, two B vitamins, and the amino acid L-cystine.
One hundred twelve mostly female subjects took two capsules daily for twelve weeks in an open study. Hair density and the share of growing hairs rose measurably, while shedding hairs fell. Measured hair loss dropped by fifty-nine percent. Hairdressers rated shine, strength, and volume better, and ninety percent of users saw improvement. The product was well tolerated. The authors note the lack of a placebo group limits certainty.
