Zinc Thymulin for Hair Loss

Hair restoration specialists commonly prescribe Zinc Thymulin (ZT) to regenerate hair lost as a result of androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Hair loss occurs in a large percentage of the adult human population and increases in prevalence with age. While it occurs in both males and in females, it is more prevalent in males. Statistics show 50% of the male population in the western population have noticeable hair loss by 50 years of age. Most hair loss involves inactivation of hair follicles, which means hair follicles cease to grow hair. Literature suggests that the thinning of the fat scalp layer due to age can also contribute to hair loss. This occurs through inactivation of stem cells that regulate hair growth. A deficiency of Zinc also leads to hair loss.

Zinc and thymulin are two natural compounds involved in hair follicle growth found to promote hair growth. Combined into a foam or dropper solution, ZT can be applied to the scalp and treats hair loss and bald patches. Additionally, ZT initiates the anagen hair growth phase. This is the active growth phase of hair follicles during which the root of the hair divides rapidly.

Testing demonstrates ZT to be safe and effective, with proven clinical results published in the peer reviewed medical journal Hair Therapy and Transplantation.

Thymulin is a nonapeptide hormone derived from the thymus gland. Early reports of thymus extract stimulating hair growth was discovered in 1986 and 2000. The activity of the hormone is reliant on the mineral Zinc, which is why it is referred to as Zinc Thymulin. ZT also induces differentiation of T-cells.

In cosmetic products, ZT:

• Tightens loose skin and improves elasticity, skin density, and firmness,
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces photo damage and hyperpigmentation
• Increases keratinocyte proliferation

• Improves hair growth
• Improves quantity of hair
• Prevents hair loss
• Improves endogenous hair pigmentation
• A variety of alopecia states can be treated
• Both women and men can be treated
• Treatment may be combined with known other hair restoration methods

In the study “An Analysis of the Safety and Efficacy of Topical Zinc-Thymulin to treat Androgenetic Alopecia“ Zinc Thymulin demonstrates no adverse systemic effects. This includes local side effects of redness, scalp irritation, and deterioration of hair color, quality or quantity.

Topical applications of ZT demonstrate safety and established efficacy for initiating and maintaining anagen to treat male pattern baldness when applied for 6 months.
