Test results show that the herbal extracts in AloEx help reduce hair loss thanks to terpenes and high levels of antioxidants.
Test results from the Research Centre for Bioorganic Chemistry (RCBC), Faculty of Science, Department of Chemistry, Chulalongkorn University, dated December 24, 2023, found high levels of terpenes and antioxidants in the hair loss treatment product AloEx, which uses herbal extracts as its main ingredients. AloEx has selected 15 key herbs for hair loss care, including... Aloe vera, bamboo, golden thread, Indian gooseberry, rice bran, safflower, Phayayor, centella, and tribulus terrestris. Sarapee, jasmine, candle bush, tamarind, and kaffir lime leaves are herbs traditionally used in ancient Thai medicine to treat hair loss. These herbs possess numerous beneficial properties, including:
- Helps inhibit the activity of the enzyme 5α-Reductase, reducing the production of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that is another cause of hair loss (related research [1] [2] [3]).
- Stimulates new hair growth by enhancing blood circulation on the scalp, allowing nutrients, proteins, vitamins, and minerals to reach the hair follicles effectively. Improved circulation to the scalp, resulting in better hair regrowth (related research [4] [5] [6])
- Antibacterial and antifungal properties that help prevent hair loss (Related research [7] [8])
- Anti-inflammatory for the scalp, which not only prevents hair loss but also helps reduce dandruff (related research [9] [10] [11]).
- Antioxidant properties help combat free radicals, which are the cause of aging hair follicles and premature hair loss (related research [8] [11] [12] [13] [14]).

It effectively restores the health of scalp and hair damaged by free radicals and provides effective protection against future damage.
- AloEx Phenolic Complex Extract 371 mg TE/g. ⁽¹⁾
- Black Tea 181.32 mg TE /g. ⁽²⁾
