Vitamin E Might Reverse MPB?

Hi,

Any comments? any advice? about this article? please!! nutraingredients.com

Kind Regards

Here’s the first couple lines from the article, which basically sum up the points I want to make:
“Daily supplements of a patented tocotrienol (vitamin E) complex may increase hair growth in people with male pattern baldness by 42 per cent, suggests a new study from Carotech. The eight month randomized, placebo-controlled trial involved 28 volunteers with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness), and was performed at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Science Malaysia.”

The study is limited because it was done with only 28 people participating. So I would think about 14 people got the actual vitamin E and the other 14 got the placebo. You don’t have to be a doctor to make your own assessment on this one, as this is poor science. In fact, one of the volunteers that was taking the placebo even saw hair growth!
