Summary

"This trial aims to see how taking a natural supplement by mouth affects the thickness, shine, growth, and the healthy bacteria on the skin of the scalp."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 25-65 who feel their hair is thinning but don't have scarring alopecia. Participants shouldn't be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have changed hormonal contraception recently. They must not be allergic to the supplement's ingredients, haven't had certain hair treatments or used hair growth products in the past few months.
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing an oral herbal supplement against a placebo to see if it improves hair density, shine, growth, and affects the scalp's microbiome. Participants will randomly receive either the herbal supplement or a placebo without knowing which one they're taking.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to ingredients in the herbal supplement. Since it's an oral product, digestive discomfort could also occur. The exact side effects aren't listed but would typically relate to known allergies.
