Abstract

Background: Androgenic alopecia, the most common form of alopecia, is a major indication for dermatogical consultation. Many literatures highlight nutritional deficiency as a common reason for the development of androgenic alopecia. Use of hormonal preparation and finasteride is associated with side effects of loss of sex drive or impotence. Effective and safe nutritional therapy can be a better option for the managing androgenic alopecia. Objective: Study focuses on the effect of oral supplementation of GainmoreTM M Tablets in the reduction of hair loss and promotion of new hair growth in men with androgenic alopecia. Methods: Men (n=50) with varying levels of hair loss were given GainmoreTM M Tablets once daily for 6 months. GainmoreTM M Tablets is a proprietary blend containing Saw palmetto extract and other nutritional agents. Results: 50% of the participants reported a noticeable decrease in hair loss after 45 to 60 days of treatment. 65% of participants reported significant fall in the hair loss by three months. By the end of the study, majority of men reported new hair growth. This study also suggests that GainmoreTM M brings marked improvement in new hair growth. This effect, however, seems to be more pronounced in participants at the end of fifth month of study. Conclusions: GainmoreTM M oral supplementation in men with androgenic alopecia is effective in reducing hair loss and improving hair growth in men with androgenic alopecia.
