A cyclical regimen of antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids + Finasteride (Group I) proved superior to daily finasteride alone (Group II) for regrowing hair.

Density improved 47% vs 3.6% between both groups.

Abstract

Studies have shown an association between oxidative stress and alopecia. Patients with alopecia generally exhibit lower levels of antioxidants in their scalp area as well as a higher lipid peroxidation index. Tocotrienols belong to the vitamin E family and are known to be potent antioxidants. Hence, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of tocotrienol supplementation on hair growth in volunteers suffering from hair loss. Twenty one volunteers were randomly assigned to orally receive 100 mg of mixed tocotrienols daily while 17 volunteers were assigned to receive placebo capsule orally. The volunteers were monitored for the number of hairs in a pre-determined scalp area as well as the weight of 20 strands of 1 cm length hair clippings at 0 (before supplementation), 4 and 8 months. The number of hairs of the volunteers in the tocotrienol supplementation group increased significantly as compared to the placebo group, with the former recording a 34.5% increase at the end of the 8-month supplementation as compared to a 0.1% decrease for the latter. Nevertheless, the cumulative weight of 20 strands of hair clippings did not differ much from the baseline for both supplementation groups at the end of the study period. In conclusion, this trial demonstrated that supplementation with tocotrienol capsules increases hair number in volunteers suffering from hair loss as compared to the placebo group. This observed effect was most likely to be due to the antioxidant activity of tocotrienols that helped to reduce lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in the scalp, which are reported to be associated with alopecia.





Take your vitamins and minerals ladies.

There was a guy who took so many minerals and supplements and he got amazing results. What I don't like is that it can get rather expensive very quickly. Are you personally trying it?

On an unrelated question, can I have yours thoughts on stress and cell inflamation as far as hairloss is concerened, not just not the scalp level

Those numbers are way too good to be true. 34.5% increase my ***; besides this study was from 2010 and likely funded by a distributor of tocotrienols

No, but I do try my best at eating a balanced diet. So far I'm happy.

Highly unlikely.
