Biochanin-A and Acetyl tetrapeptide – 3 as hair loss treatments

[Rizaan]

These two compounds are present in Kera XL hair growth serum.
Biochanin-A inhibits both type 1 and type 2 5-alpha reductase enzymes, which are responsible for conversion of testosterone to DHT.
Acetyl tetrapeptide-3 stimulates dermal papilla extracellular matrix proteins, and thus has a direct effect on hair follicle size and anchoring. It has been proven to be much more effective than minoxidil.
