Nitric Oxide Gel for Promoting Hair Growth

There's a clinical study being done on this at the moment. Hadn't heard of this before, has it been dicussed?

http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/N...opecia&rank=27

So they will end phase 2 in april 2012, if it works when it would be available, they could market it as cosmetics and release it right away.

It would appear so as each phase is 24 weeks. That's why I don't get why no one else has commented on this thread, it's a possible new treatment that could be out before Histogen etc. yet no one seems interested. Weird.

Nobody commented because it's just another treatment being used on mice. We have no pictures, we have nothing. It's probably another BS product like Astressin-B.

Good find mate

Mojo didn't you read the study details? This is about a study on humans not mice - 60 human patients and it was supposed to have started in May with primary results to come next April.

Trials on mice etc. have already been done and have shown "structural changes in the skin of mammals to increase the number of hair follicles, follicle stem cell development and regeneration as well as hair shaft elongation, and accelerated hair growth rate". I know there's no proof that the effects will be the same in humans but it's certainly encouring to know that there's another path that is being explored.

Sounds interesting. So when do the trials start ? I don't know. This is like the one millionth and one product that seems to work on mice. It looks like everything works on mice but the same, unfortunately, cannot be said about humans. Only if we were as lucky as mice.

New hair follicles with Nitric Oxide?

..... okay!

Hey, it wouldn't surprise me. Now that Follica seems to be going ahead with a Lithium gel to stimulate WNT pathways, the doors to more bizarre treatments are wide open.
