Caffeine DMG against hereditary hair loss
Discover how DMG and caffeine can reduce male pattern hair loss and promote hair growth**
DMG: Breakthrough in Hair Loss* Research
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.
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**.
A reduction in hair loss was observed in 92% of the participants*
Double-blind, randomised, and placebo-controlled study:
The clinical study was conducted on 154 men with hereditary hair loss. These men used either the new Caffeine DMG shampoo (Verum) or a placebo shampoo over a period of 6 months.
Hair growth** can be increased
The analysis of the study subgroup showed a significant increase in hair growth**:
