Its a 30 day study on rats (once a day), compared to 2% minoxidil (once a day).
The results in the ODL3 group (7.5% strength), showed it to be MORE effective than 2% Minoxidil.
7% & 8% of Amla Powder showed a significant increase of hair follicles with in 15 days.
7% & 8% of Brahmi powder showed a significant increase in number of hair follicles up to 12 with in 6 d.
7% and 8% concentration of fenugreek showed a significant increase in hair follicle 8 and 9 respectively in 9 d.
7% and 8% concentration of Meetha neem showed early initiation of hair growth follicle in 6 d with 11 numbers.
Thus on comparison OD3 and minoxidil it has been observed that patch with 7.5% hair oil formulation application shows better growth that the patch with minoxidil.
The quantitative study revealed that formulation OD3 considerable increase in number of hair follicle in anagen phase of hair growth cycle, when compare to standard and control. In standard group percentage of population of anagen follicle was 67%, where as in formulation OD3 it was 83% and OD2 81%.
The result shows that formulation OD3 have contributed in most significant hair growth activity.
The hair growth studies finally prove that formulation OD3 have significant increase in hair growth activity when compared to the standard. It holds the promise of potent herbal alternative for minoxidil.
