Anyone have an opinion?
I would tend to think its all bull.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

how can we have an opinion when its just been released and not even the reviewer has tried it(by his own admission) lol thats funny.

it it really did that, and they could prove it, it would be the holy grail, and they would be billionaires.  however as with all new products, there is a very slim possibility that it IS the holy grail, it will happen sooner or later.  so try it if u want and report back. Out of the thousands of products released for hair regrowth, how many are actually successful?

however if its marketed at women, and the claims are for women, then thats more believeable.  someone without mpb, will grow new hairs easy.

its buyer beware. u have to understand every company says theire product is best , and their products grow hair. never seems to happen though does it.

Efficacy: DHT Modulation via 5-a-Reductase Activity

DHT is formed by the action of 5-a-reductase on testosterone DHT causes Hair Loss by Shortening the growth cycle, producing progressively shorter and finer hair. This is the study of the capacity of Biochanin A to inhibit the 5-a reductase activity in comparision with a well known 5-a reductase inhibitor EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate a potent antioxidant found in tea).

Efficacy: ECM Renewal and Anchoring Improvement

Healthy dermal papilla will produce good ECM proteins such as collagen type III and anchoring fibers such as laminin and collagen VII which will favor a good hair anchoring in the bulb surrounding tissue. If improper ECM renewal, hair will eventually lack vigor and will thin. Cycle after Cycle, the follicles becomes smaller and finally, miniaturized and fall.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 stimulates collagen production for better ECM integrity leading to a better anchoring.

Quantification of laminin, type iii collagen synthesis induced by Acetyl tetrapeptide-3
on fibroblasts. It has been demonstrated that molecules which have an activity on these ECM proteins stimulation, also increase hair follicle size and improve hair anchoring.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 stimulates dermal papilla extra-cellular matrix proteins, and thus has a direct effect on structures surrounding hair follicles.

Collagen VII is a major constituent of the anchoring fibrils and is located in the basement membrane (DEJ) around the papilla. In this experiment, corticoids are used to induce a decrease in the hair papilla cells growth and ECM.

GQPR peptide or glycine-glutamine-proline-arginine) connected to palmitic acid. Palmitic acid is a fatty acid added to improve the peptide's oil solubility and thus skin penetration.

Has anyone heard of Capixyl? It was released in 2011 and seems to have Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 in it. Quite a few products seems to include it. Funny I've never heard of it before. There doesn't seem to be much buzz around it on the internet either.
