Frontiers
2-deoxy-D-ribose
A 2024 study in Frontiers showed 2-deoxy-D-ribose helped hair regrowth in mice with androgenic alopecia, performing comparably to minoxidil by boosting scalp blood flow, offering a promising natural alternative for thicker hair!
Int. Journal of Dermatology
Caffeine
A 2007 study in International Journal of Dermatology showed caffeine counteracted testosterone-induced growth suppression in male hair follicles with AGA, significantly enhancing hair shaft elongation and hair cell growth over 120-192 hours in vitro.
Toxicological Research
Peppermint Oil
A 2014 study in Toxicological Research demonstrated that 3% peppermint oil significantly increased hair follicle count and density in mice over four weeks, outperforming minoxidil by 37% (92% vs. 55% hair growth).
PubMed Central
Microneedling
A 2013 PMC study on 100 men with androgenetic alopecia found weekly 1.5mm dermaroller use with 5% minoxidil enhanced absorption via microchannels. The microneedling group showed superior hair growth, doubling growth versus minoxidil alone.

Minoxidil, Finasteride
Minoxidil and finasteride are both highly toxic to cats, even in small amounts, and can be fatal. Cats cannot properly metabolize the drug, leading to a buildup that can cause severe toxic effects. Even minimal exposure through licking or contact can be dangerous,
