Researchers at Tokushima University in Japan screened chaga mushrooms (Inonotus obliquus) for potential anti-alopecia agents. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Natural Medicines.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that the lanostane-type triterpenes in chaga mushrooms are potent anti-alopecia agents that can be used to stimulate hair growth naturally.
