Copper Cure for Alopecia

by Bald Man on June 5th, 2006

Catching up on the news, and this story from eMaxHealth seemed noteworthy.

Research scientists at the University of San Francisco Wound Center may have stumbled onto the answer to hair loss: something that has frustrated mankind for centuries. Their discovery was made while applying a synthetically formulated compound, Copper Peptide, to severe wound areas on several patients. During this process something unusual happened. Not only did the wounds heal about 30 percent faster, but a significant stimulation of the follicular cells occurred. As a side effect, these tripeptide complexes actually grew hair around the wound area.

This doesn’t appear to be particularly scientific, yet. By that, I mean there are no references to controlled studies, few details regarding how copper peptide might be affecting hair growth, etc. Nevertheless, the early evidence is quite interesting.
