Abstract
Recently, hair growth effect of red ginseng was proved by many in vitro experiments, but there are not enough clinical studies. In the present study, we evaluated the efficacy of Rg3 hair shampoo (Somang Co., Korea) containing Rg3 0.003% extracted from ginseng radix on preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth by clinical study. 42 volunteers were enrolled present study and devided into two groups; one group used the Rg3 hair shampoo and another group used shampoo not containg Rg3. Before and after 8 and 16 weeks use of Rg3 hair shampoo, we measured the density, thickness and growth rate of hair. At the same time, an assessment of improvement of hair loss and subjective satisfaction of patients were conducted by clinicians and patients. Results obtained from the group used Rg3 hair shampoo showed statistically significant improvement in the density, thickness and growth rate of hair. Results from the clinicians, patients and subjective satisfaction of patients also showed better responses for the group used Rg3 hair shampoo. In conclusion, Rg3 hair shampoo is an effective product on preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth.
