Answers to your questions
Does Caffeine penetrate even though the shampoo is rinsed out?
Yes, a study by the Charité University Hospital shows that the Caffeine in a shampoo formulation is able to penetrate the skin and hair follicles, where it is available for up to 24 hours through a depot.
What do competitive athletes need to consider when using Caffeine shampoo?
Caffeine can be detected in the hair follicle. Until 2004, the substance was on the World Anti Doping Agency's (WADA) doping list. It is still in the monitoring programme today.
Do coffee or energy drinks work to prevent hair loss?
No. The Caffeine must reach the hair root directly without any detours. The carrier base and the unique galenics make this possible with Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo.
