Caffeine:  Cure for Male Pattern Baldness. Female Baldness too!

3/10/2015

Dr Adolf Klenk, who is a leading international expert on hair loss, recently visited South Africa to promote his discovery that caffeine stimulates hair growth. Here is an interview he gave there:


An employee of a German "cosmeceutical" company, the Dr Wolff Group, he discovered that caffeine protected hair roots against hereditary and menopausal hair loss in men and women; and it also facilitates growth. Based on this discovery the Wolff group now produces caffeine-based shampoos for men and women. 

Up to 70 percent of men suffer from male pattern baldness (MPB). Hair loss is one of the things men dread most about getting older. (The other great fear is impotence.)

To most men a full head of hair is a sign of health, youthfulness and virility, and the first signs of hair loss along the sides of the forehead and on the crown of the head can cause strong reactions like depression, social withdrawal, even loss of self-esteem.
  
Women are affected by hair loss to a much lesser degree than men, but it can lead to similar problems like depression and loss of self-confidence.  

A study by the Institute for Dermatology at Lübeck University which was published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that caffeine promotes hair follicle growth by influencing important proteins that regulate cell growth.

More specifically, caffeine counteracts the growth inhibitory effect of testosterone (the “male” hormone) on cyclic adenosine triphosphate (cATP), which provides the energy necessary to keep hair roots healthy and to stimulate growth. Interestingly, this only happens in the scalp, not in any part of the body.

We'll do our own testing with CaffeinAll™, by adding it to a shampoo base. Stay tuned!

Caffeine protects against multiple sclerosis, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine study finds

Our study shows that coffee intake may also protect against MS, supporting the idea that caffeine may have protective effects for the brain,” said study author Ellen Mowry, MD, MCR, with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. 

For the study, researchers looked at a Swedish study of 1,629 people with MS and 2,807 healthy people, and a U.S. study of 1,159 people with MS and 1,172 healthy people. The studies characterized coffee consumption among persons with MS one and five years before MS symptoms began (as well as 10 years before MS symptoms began in the Swedish study) and compared it to coffee consumption of people who did not have MS at similar time periods. 

They also accounted for other factors such as age, sex, smoking, body mass index, and sun exposure habits. The Swedish study found that compared to people who drank at least six cups of coffee per day during the year before symptoms appeared, those who did not drink coffee had about a one and a half times increased risk of developing MS. 

Drinking large amounts of coffee five or 10 years before symptoms started was similarly protective. In the US study, people who didn’t drink coffee were also about one and a half times more likely to develop the disease than those who drank four or more cups of coffee per day in the year before symptoms started to develop the disease. “Caffeine should be studied for its impact on relapses and long-term disability in MS as well,” says Mowry.
