The goal of this study is to determine if Xtresse' gummy is safe and may help regrow hair in men with androgenic alopecia (common pattern hair loss). Forty-eight participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Xtresse' active gummy or placebo. Neither staff not participant will know which treatment is given. The main aims of this trial are: 1. To confirm using photographic analysis, changes in the quality, volume, and thickness of hair. 2. To gauge patient satisfaction with hair changes and application process. 3. Monitor and report any adverse events associated with the daily intake of Xtressé Participants who qualify will complete 3 in-person visits. Participants will be given a 90-day supply of the gummies at visits 1 (after voluntary consent is given) and 2 to cover the 6-month study period. Photographs and scalp analysis will be performed at each visit to measure changes in hair volume, thickness, and growth.
In the study, participants will be asked to complete the following: Provide basic personal information (including date of birth, gender, race and ethnicity) Provide their medical/ surgical history and perform a medical exam (including but not limited to symptom-directed physical exam, skin type, vital signs, height, weight) Follow study rules such as avoiding certain medications and treatments Provide information on any medications, treatments or reactions that started after the study began Take active or placebo gummy treatment daily and complete a treatment diary Allow clinical assessments and documentation of the treatment, such as photography, hair density measurements, any reactions or side effects To qualify for this trial, participants must: Be a male adult between 18 to 65 years of age Have hair loss in vertex region.
