What this trial studies
This clinical study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a dietary supplement, CL-P24113a, designed to manage androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in male participants aged 18 to 45 with mild to moderate hair loss. The supplement contains a blend of botanical ingredients, including Pumpkin Seed Oil and Saw Palmetto, aimed at inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme, which contributes to hair follicle miniaturization. In a single-blind, placebo-controlled design, 45 volunteers will be divided into two groups, with 30 receiving the supplement and 15 receiving a placebo. The study will assess the impact of the supplement on hair density and overall hair health over a six-month period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a natural and effective treatment option for men suffering from androgenetic alopecia.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on similar nutraceutical approaches for hair loss, the specific formulation and methodology of this study may offer novel insights.
