Efficacy and Safety of a Nutraceutical Supplement With Standardized Botanicals in Peri-menopausal and Menopausal Women With Thinning Hair

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating The Ability And Safety Of A Nutraceutical Supplement With Standardized Botanicals To Promote Hair Growth In Perimenopausal, Menopausal And Post-Menopausal Women With Self-Perceived Thinning Hair

Terminal hair is defined as coarse hair, short or long, found on the scalp with minimum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers.

Vellus hair is defined as fine, short hairs found on the scalp with maximum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers.

Total Hairs equals the sum of Terminal and Vellus Hairs in the Target Area

Terminal hair is defined as coarse hair, short or long, found on the scalp with minimum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers. Vellus hair is defined as fine, short hairs found on the scalp with maximum cross-sectional diameter of 40 micrometers. Total Hairs equals the sum of Terminal and Vellus Hairs in the Target Area

Ten (10) terminal hairs just outside the border of the 2 cm x 2 cm area used for the Hair Check Hair Mass Index (HMI) will be randomly chosen (not all from one direct area) and cut at the surface of the scalp thus not creating any bald patches. The Dino-Lite Microscope will then be used to measure the diameter of each of the ten (10) hairs at 1mm from the cut end of the hair. All calibrations and measurement will be done at the setting of 230X. The ten (10) hair measurements will then be recorded on the Hair Diameter Log Form. All ten (10) diameters will be added together and then divided by 10 to attain an average hair diameter for the area and the average diameter will be recorded in the CRF. See Appendix IV.

Subjects will be instructed to wash their hair at home 24 hours in advance of study visits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Subjects will then have their hair washed (shampooed) with a gentle shampoo in the office over a sink containing cheesecloth. The cheesecloth will be positioned to collect shedding hair. The number of hairs collected in the cheesecloth will be counted and recorded. Subjects will be allowed to dry and style their hair. Subjects will have their hair washed and shedding hairs counted on Visits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. See Appendix V.
