Capsaicin and Soy Isoflavones Promote Hair Growth

[bananana]

Based on our discussion in Tocotrienols thread - I'm opening a new thread about this experiment:

I think it's a very interesting topic and results are quite good.

Conclusion
A combination of soy isoflavones and capsaicin increases dermal levels of IGF-1 and promotes hair growth in humans and mice.After 5 months, hair growth was significantly increased in 64.5% of human volunteers administered with capsaicin and isoflavone, compared with 11.8% in the placebo group. Furthermore, 88% of the participants suffering from androgenic alopecia saw a promotion of hair growth when given capsaicin and isoflavone. This suggests that the treatment might be more effective for male-pattern baldness than other types of hair loss.

Interestingly - tabasco has capsaicin 3000-8000 heat units, that is 5-10 times less than some chili peppers, but still good to use.

Unfortunately - Soy sauce does not contain a level of the beneficial isoflavones associated with other soy products such as tofu or edamame.

Also (let me know if you want me to open another thread on this) it was proven on Harvard that green/black tea + isoflavones lowers
DHT bi over 70%
