Hair Root Activation by Anagen Grow- A Herbal Hair Growth Serum

Abstract

Aim: Aim of the present study is to evaluate the hair growth promoting effect of Anagen grow, a poly herbal hair serum formulated with the following herbs Murraya koenigii, Lawsonia alba, Indigofera tinctoria, Hibiscus rosa sinensis, Eclipta prostrata. Method: Hair growth elongation assay was performed by culturing the hair root in tissue culture media with various herbal extracts. Hair growth elongation was subsequently photographed. Result: Anagen grow has affected the hair growth elongation and similarly many herbs also showed the above property. The spectrogram of different herbs of ‘anagen grow’ showed similarity with the profile and absorbance value of EGCG. In the light of the above finding anagen grow inhibiting alpha reductase enzyme similar to EGCG is postulated. Conclusion: Hair growth elongation property and the possible alpha reductase enzyme inhibition makes Anagen grow a safe and effective hair growth promoting serum and alternative to finasteride. The Minoxidil users also would benefit greatly from Anagen grow both for promoting hair growth and as well as to minimize scalp dryness due to minoxidil.
