  • GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide)
  • Stimulating dermal papilla cells, prolonging/enlarging follicles, and raising VEGF signalling in lab and rodent models
  • Preclinical (in-vitro human follicle + mouse); no monotherapy RCT
  • Human data exists only in uncontrolled combination protocols, so its independent effect is unproven
  • TB-500 (thymosin beta-4 fragment)
  • Activating hair-follicle stem cells and accelerating the hair-growth cycle in rodents and goats
  • Preclinical / animal-dominant; one in-vitro human follicle study
  • No human clinical trials for hair growth; almost all data is animal
