Summary

This study tests a dietary supplement containing taurine, L-cysteine, and grape seed extract to see if it improves hair health in people with hair loss. About 239 men and women will take either the active supplement or a placebo daily for 6 months. Researchers will measure hair density, shine, and strength at 3 and 6 months to see if the supplement works better than a placebo.
