Hair loss (Greek: alopecia) is not considered as a disease, but it is a big problem for sufferers in terms of both their physical appearance and self-confidence. The most frequent occurrence in both men and women is hereditary androgenetic hair loss, caused by androgens. Millions of people suffer from this problem. Causes of alopecia include various genetic and immunological factors, but also inflammatory processes. In addition, lack of vitamin D may be one of the causes of androgenetic hair loss, but there is no scientific evidence for this yet. Healthy hair typically grows 1 cm in a month. It takes years for hair to thin, and so it takes time for hair to grow again. To protect hair from further thinning is a huge success in itself. Useful tip: If the area concerned is totally bald and the hair follicle has died off, no further hair can grow in this spot. Synthetic low-molecular thymic peptide libraries (STPL II Synthetic Thymic Peptide Library), which are modelled on nature, demonstrate high effectiveness and safety during treatment of androgenetic hair loss, telogen effluvium (diffuse hair loss) and other types of thinning scalp hair. The STPL II peptide library consists of 1,600 different peptides, with about 10% of MPP (Membrane Penetrating Peptides) capacity, with the effect of reaching the hair follicle. And thus it is able to develop its effectiveness with regard to hair growth stimulation in a targeted way.
