DMG: Turning point in hair loss* research
Dimethylglycine (DMG) promotes microcirculation in the scalp, ensuring the hair roots are supplied with nutrients again.
Dimethylglycine (DMG): A substance that naturally occurs in all body cells and plays a key role in cellular metabolism.

Dimethylglycine (DMG) promotes microcirculation in the scalp, ensuring the hair roots are supplied with nutrients again.
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.
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**.
The analysis of the study subgroup showed a significant increase in hair growth**:
* hereditary hair loss
** in vivo study, n=15 participants with hereditary hair loss
*** 24-week RCT in men (n=154; daily use): standardised testing showed fewer hairs shed vs placebo at weeks 12 and 24; subgroup and consumer findings support higher density/growth-phase hairs and fuller-looking hair at 6 months. Hair loss not related to illness. Results vary.
Caffeine stimulates the metabolism and is consumed globally. Find out more about the power of the active ingredient caffeine, how it strengthens your hair, and how it reduces hereditary hair loss.
