Senior Member deeznuts Posted April 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2021 Anyone know anything about the drug? It says it aids in collagen synthesis which sounds to me like it'd be really good for a variety of things like anti-aging. http://www.koreabiomed.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=10914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted April 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) The only clinical studies I've seen on dexpanthenol in regards to hair growth are of poor quality (I've linked them here). Unfortunately, for now, the mainstays are still minoxidil and finasteride. I've asked some folks with biochemistry/hair loss science backgrounds and they're equivocal about it as well: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jocd.13729 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jocd.13729 Both studies used subjective measures (Dermatologic Life Quality Index (DLQI) and a modified hair growth questionnaire) to gauge success, which isn't useful. They should have used objective measures such as measuring improvements or lack thereof in terms of hair density. It could be promising, but they need better methodology to gauge actual effectiveness. Edited April 20, 2021 by Dr. Suhail Khokhar My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.
