I was wondering if anybody knew much about this. I have researched it and see that it is used as a med for Alopecia areata but not as a male pattern baldness combatant.
i am about a norwood 2 temples and have thinning on my crown like norwood 3v.
I have recently started using products from Japan (where i live) called Hatsumoru-s and hatsumoru oral medication. ive been on the oral medication for about 2 and a half months and i started using the topical (hatsumoru-s) about 3 weeks ago. This was added to my current regime of minoxidil (1% morning, 5% night), adenogen twice daily and saw palmetto oral med.
After intial shedding for about 3 weeks on the oral stuff I noticed much less shedding than previously (even less than with minoxidil) by 2 months I noticed dark thin hair growing an extra centimetre and more from my hairline and the thinning on my top looking slightl more filled in. so i started the topical application soon after - which actually shed my new hair again - woops :cry: . but has now stopped shedding and im hoping for the best.
ANYWAY - as it seems to be working very well i was wondering what people knew about cepharanthin which is said to be the active ingredient. why is it not used in more products?
