A clinical research suggested that Korean red ginseng (KRG) was effective in both the prevention and treatment of alopecia.
Professor Sang-Wook Son of the Department of Dermatology and his team found that 131 alopecia patients who took 1g of KRG powder three times a day for twenty-four weeks did not contract either alopecia areata or male or female alopecia.
The results of a clinical trial appeared in a recent issue of the Journal of Ginseng Research (JGR).
The research team discovered that 40 male patients in the regime using KRG powder had 50 more hairs per 3㎠ of scalp compared with those in the comparison group, with the thickness of individual hairs increasing by 18% from 0.0675㎜ to 0.0797㎜. A study of 41 female patients found that those using a combination therapy of KRG+ topical ointment (3% minoxidil) experienced a rise in hair density to 115.05/㎠ from 101.68/㎠ in twenty-four weeks. KRG-only therapy also increased hair density from 95.50/㎠ to 107.38/㎠ in twenty-four weeks.
The research team determined that KRG’s ginsenoside-Rb1 and ginsenoside-Rg3 promoted hair growth. The team explained that female patients who were reluctant to use alopecia treatment because of side effects showed more distinct improvement when they received KRG together with topical ointment. The combination of steroid injection and KRG was also found to treat alopecia areata better than the use of treatment alone. Alopecia areata does not yet have any oral treatment.
Professor Son said, “This is the first clinical trial that has proved KRG’s effectiveness in improving alopecia, although there have been some animal experiments that found KRG to control apoptosis of follicular cells,” and added, “This study is significant because it discovered a safe supplement for treatment.”
