Deltacrin WNT

[Hubris]

Someone from another site posted this product - Deltacrin WNT. Supposedly it's a new treatment coming out in Italy and currently being studied by Dr. Cole. Google search "Deltacrin WNT" and you should find the product page on the Pharcos site.

No idea if this product is legitimate or not, but I hadn't heard of it before so I thought it might be of interest to someone. Anyone else have more information on this product?

Here's the source blog which has a little more information:

It's a concoction that is "based on natural ingredients that are proprietary to the company."

A legitimate hair loss researcher in Italy did a study and found it increases hair counts slightly. Dr. Cole expects it to be an adjunct treatment as opposed to a cure. If this has a synergistic effect with existing treatments it could be very helpful to the average person on this forum.

The blog author thinks it could be available in the USA by the end of this year.

Im just wondering which of the following ingredients are supposed to increase/upregulate WNT...

Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Trehalose, Panthenol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Methyl Vanillate, Wheat Amino Acids, Soy Amino Acids, Arginine HCl, Serine, Threonine, Niacinamide, Faex Extract, Aesculus hippocastanum Extract, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate, Zinc Gluconate, Caffeine , Biotin, Manganese PCA, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxymetylglycinate, Lactic Acid, Parfum.

Also, what is suspicious is that they actually don't mention anywhere it has any effect on the WNT pathway (or I couldn't find it). I thought it upregulates it because it was in it's name and because I read that in an other hair loss site. So is it just a clever scam to use the word WNT in a product's name because that's in fashion these days? Are sneak oils getting more sophisticated?

Most likely another snake oil. We already have an affordable option to increase WNT signaling. Korean red seaweed/Carrageenan. I purchased "Irish Moss" supplements which contain Carrageenan for $2 a bottle.(60 tablets)
There's studies that show Carrageenan increases WNT signaling but you don't really want to increase WNT signaling all that much because it's also responsible for cancer growth and a bunch of other bad things.
I use it only for a couple days a week after rolling/wounding to increase growth factor response.

I have already ordered this product. I expect to get this one next week. I ordered 3 bottles. After using this product I will be able to share my experience.
