DMG: Turning point in hair loss* research
Dimethylglycine (DMG) promotes microcirculation in the scalp, ensuring the hair roots are supplied with nutrients again.
Summary
Thanks to decades of research, it's known that caffeine boosts hair root activity and extends the growth phase of hair roots.
The new active ingredient, Dimethylglycine (DMG), was previously completely unknown in dermatological research. Studies show that DMG increases microcirculation, meaning it enhances the blood supply to the smallest blood vessels, thereby improving the nutrient supply to the hair roots.
Nutrient supply to the hair root: Microcirculation: the foundation for healthy hair growth
Caffeine and DMG support the nutrient supply and activity of the hair roots. These two effects are particularly important when the hair follicle is weakened.
A clinical study shows that the patented combination of caffeine and DMG effectively reduces hereditary hair loss and can even increase hair growth**.
Hair growth* can be increased
The analysis of the study subgroup showed a significant increase in hair growth**:
