Hereditary hair loss can be counteracted.

Caffeine stimulates the hair roots

Caffeine has been known for more than 20 years for its growth-stimulating effect on hair roots. It inhibits the breakdown of the intracellular messenger cAMP. As a result, more energy is available to the cells and cell growth is stimulated.

Caffeine is therefore the most researched active ingredient of plant origin against hereditary hair loss.

  • Zinc and niacinamide: Zinc and niacinamide promote energy metabolism and can ensure better nutrient supply to the hair roots.

Recognizing hereditary hair loss

Signs of hereditary hair loss can include: 

  • Widening receding hairline
  • Increased hair in the sink
  • Thinning hair at the back of the head

What's behind it?

With hereditary hair loss, the hair growth cycle is disrupted. Various factors can limit nutrient supply and reduce the size of hair follicles.

The result: The hair roots wither and no longer produce new hair.

Caffeine stimulates the hair root

The Alpecin Caffeine Complex counteracts the shortening of growth phases by stimulating the hair roots and boosting the energy metabolism.

Effect scientifically proven

In over 20 years of caffeine research, the effectiveness of our formulations has been studied and proven in numerous studies.

FAQ

Answers to your questions

In humans, the hair cycle is individual for each hair. Some of your hairs are actively in the growth phase (anagen), while others have entered the resting phase (telogen) at the same time. Hair roots are usually in a growth phase for around 8 years before entering a resting phase of around 5 to 8 months. The hair then falls out. A new growth cycle then begins, which can be repeated 8 to 20 times.

After using the caffeine liquid, it may take some time for the hair roots to recover and transition from the resting phase to a renewed growth phase. Normally, the increased hair loss should decrease noticeably after a period of approx. 3 to 4 months.

The effect of Alpecin Caffeine Liquid targets hair roots that are still alive. The Caffeine complex strengthens existing but already weakened hair and hair roots. However, it is not a hair restoration product.

No, the Caffeine in Alpecin Caffeine Liquid is absorbed through the hair canal and scalp in just the right amount, making it completely safe even for individuals sensitive to Caffeine. Additionally, since the active ingredient is applied directly to the scalp, the amount that enters the rest of the body is minimal and negligible.
