Hi again, Dr. Rassman. The blog is great and useful as always! Congratualtions. My question is in regards to Procyanidin. After all the stories and comments since October, 2006 it now looks like the promises did not become anything solid and real, correct? I suppose more research would have been done if this really showed true potential, correct? Thanks!
I have no further insight than the last time I wrote about procyanidin B-2. That does not necessarily mean nothing has happened with it, but any new information hasn’t been brought to my attention. For those that want to read my past blog entries about procyanidin, see here.
If anyone has any new information, please don’t hesitate to send it.

For those interested, I’ve posted a page on the current science of procyanidins and hair growth. The last clinical trial was a year in duration. We anticipate further studies. The most recent published paper I have was a study of the mechanisms of procyanidins in the hair follicle. Here is the link:

If anyone has further information to complete this list, your help is appreciated.
