Summary
This study tests a scalp elixir containing caffeine, panthenol, and growth factors on 60 healthy adults with hair thinning or baldness. Participants apply the product daily for 56 days, and researchers measure oil levels, hair density, thickness, length, and hair loss. The goal is to see if the elixir improves scalp and hair condition.
