Source : Journal of Applied Cosmetology, Vol. 41 iss. 2 Jul-Dec, 2023: 28/46

Objective : Randomized double-blind controlled parallel group trial was performed to compare the efficacy of the Annurca apple fruit extract as nutraceutical AT HAIR-FUL AA® food supplement with a placebo in hair growth.

Methods : The products were assigned to 80 enrolled subjects with alopecia, divided into 2 groups: 40 subjects took AT HAIR-FUL AA® food supplement and 40 subjects took the alternative treatment (PLACEBO). Each group of volunteers underwent 180 days of treatment, with the intake of 2 capsules per day. After that, volunteers took nothing for 30 consecutive days (follow up).

Conclusion : The AT HAIR-FUL AA® food supplement significantly affected hair loss: hair density and weight significantly increased and hair loss significantly decreased over time (p<0.001).
