Abstract

Many people suffer from alopecia. The hair growth drug, minoxidil, stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production as well as vascularization and hair growth. However, as minoxidil has side effects with long-term use in women, a safe alternative hair growth agent is needed. Therefore, we investigated whether inositol (IN) and phytic acid (PA), which are water-soluble components derived from rice bran, have a hair growth-promoting effect.
