The Hair Loss Pill Just Passed Its Final Trial (I’m Still Bald, But Let’s Talk)

I’m bald, I treat hair loss for a living, and I’m functionally the before picture in every clinical trial, so when an extended release oral minoxidil pill called VDPH1 held up hard in its latest study, I had to break it down. On October 19th Veradermix dropped study 304, and the twice daily dose grew 36.4 extra hairs per square centimeter versus 6.6 on placebo, with 68.7% of men saying their hair improved. Here’s what the data, the side effects, and the realistic timeline actually look like.

user Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. I’m Dr. Mara. Today we need to talk about a supplement that TikTok has decided cures everything from anxiety to bloating to insomnia, and I’ve had probably forty patients ask me about it in the last two weeks alone. It’s magnesium, and specifically magnesium glycinate.
