    Default Attention All Balding Males: Resveratrol To Your Rescue

    All balding males pay attention. Put two-and-two together here. Resveratrol is potentially a remedy for baldness. Researchers have found that balding scalp areas exhibit high levels of an inflammatory agent called prostaglandin D2 (PDG2). See the first reference posted below. PGD2 inhibitors would serve to preserve hair growth. Why wait for expensive medicines? Resveratrol strong suppresses PGD2 at low concentration, as evidenced in the second reference provided below. Maybe resveratrol pills should be sold with a comb.

    turns out it's true:

    Quick Google search turns up that theres been a potentially known connection as far back as 2006/2007.

    Interesting to hear a more specific connection with a new known link.

    Time to drink up!

    What are the doses of resveratrol used in the study? Usually mice studies use astronomically high amounts of a substance during a test. Obviously the amount that is currently available is not enough or the millions of bald men that take resveratrol would have hair.

    I ain't putting any pill or drug inside of me until there are detailed human clinical trials and atleast a few years of usage and good testemonials from people who have been using it.

    sure they do. It's in every drug store, grocery store, suppliment store in the world. At GNC it sits right at the register. The tv and magazines were flooded with stores years back about the benifits of resveratrol for heart health when they found that it may be the reason the French have unusually low incidence of heart disease and people have been pushing it ever since as a miracle suppliment

    not a pill. not a drug. Just some supplement that supposedly helps fight aging and improves your heart health.
    All that matters is that apparently it also lowers your PGD2 levels which would be very good for your hair.
