Although I think Astressin b shows a lot of promise. I think we all should be very skeptical of any recently released products that claim to treat hair loss with it. To date, Astressin b has not gone through rigorous FDA trials designed to establish its safety and efficacy. For any such product, we should apply our usual skepticism: where are the high quality before and after photos? Where are the testimonials? Where are the independent reviews of the product from long time users?
Also remember that in the study the mice received subcutaneous injections not topical applications. It is not clear if topical applications even worked in a mouse model. We also don't know anything about what appropriate doses or delivery mechanisms for humans might be.
Don't get me wrong, I think Astressin b is very promising as a future hair loss treatment, but I am concerned about unscrupulous companies trying to sell untested products (that might not even contain astressin b). Not only could people get ripped off, but I wouldn't want people to give up on a promising line of research due to bad experiences with dishonest companies selling dubious products, that for all we know are based on flawed doses and delivery mechanisms.
