Topical adenosine increases thick hair ratio in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia.

Another study on adenosine increasing thick hair ratio but in men.

Topical adenosine increases thick hair ratio in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia.

OBJECTIVE:
Hair thickness is more important than hair density in the appearance of baldness in male with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Adenosine improves hair loss by stimulating hair growth and by thickening hair shafts in women. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hair growth efficacy and safety of topical adenosine in men with AGA.
METHODS:
A lotion containing either adenosine or niacinamide was administered to the scalps of 102 Japanese men twice daily for 6 months in a double-blind, randomized study. Efficacy was evaluated by dermatologists who assessed the quality of the hair, and by calculating the percentages of vellus-like and thick hairs among the vertex hairs, as well as hair density.
RESULTS:
Adenosine was significantly (p < 0.05) superior to niacinamide in terms of global improvement of AGA, increase in the percentage of thick hairs (at least 60 μm), and self-assessment of hair thickness by the study participants. No causal adverse event due to the adenosine lotion was observed.
CONCLUSION:
These data indicate that adenosine increases thick hair ratio in Japanese men with AGA, and this compound is useful for the improvement of AGA. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

It's a bit like those cosmetic things that make you look like you have more hair. Still not the same as having more hair shafts which is what everyone really wants.

Any edge helps, and for what it is worth, caffeine consumptions helps boost adenosine.

Some research suggest that adenosine is anti-aging and some that it inhibits collagen. Users mainly do not report facial aging on adenosine. What is the consensus on this? I will finally replace Minoxidil with adenosine.

Adenosine also plays a role in regulation of blood flow to various organs through vasodilation

Hair

Adenosine has been shown to promote thickening of hair on people with thinning hair.[19][20] A 2013 study compared topical adenosine to minoxidil for in male androgenetic alopecia, finding it was not superior to minoxidil and further trials were needed.[21]

Every increase in blood flow helps. A cheap and easy method of achieving this is the scalp massage with extra virgin olive oil that is rich in vitamin K and vitamin E, that are proved to help in reversing artery calcification. Many people in hair forums combine this kind of massage with some minutes of inversion, they call it "Inversion Method for Hair". Do a google search on it.
