Alpecin Alpecin treats hair loss using a unique caffeine complex. 80% of hereditary hair loss is due to super-sensitivity of the hair roots, caused by the hormone testosterone (DHT) and is called androgenetic alopecia. The DHT cuts off the energy supply to the hair follicle, weakening and then eventually killing it. The average growth cycle for a hair root is 8 years but over time, DHT's shorten this phase, thus resulting in male pattern baldness. The main caffeine-containing ingredient of Alpecin has been scientifically proven by the University clinics of Hamburg-Eppendorf & Jena to protect the roots against DHT's and stimulate new hair to grow.
