Most of the studies of caffeine on the stem cell niches that control hair growth and extension of the antigen phase of hair growth have been performed in vitro in a dish . Although there are some clinical studies exploring this , they are not nearly as extensive in number or duration as the studies of Minoxidil because this approach just hasn't been around quite as long . However , when comparing side effects of monoxide cost of monoxide , comparing the efficacy of caffeine and monoxide , I think caffeine as a topical treatment for offsetting hair loss stands as a pretty good choice if you're going to start exploring this pathway .
They are not expected and they do not as far as we know , create new hair growth to any sufficient degree . If any of you have used caffeine ointments or minoxidil and observed new hair growth that was robust . Please put that in the comment section .

And there's no reason to think that if you were to try the caffeine ointment and it didn't work for you or you didn't like it for some reason or you needed to stop it for some reason that you couldn't stop it safely because it doesn't carry all the other , you know , blood pressure related effects and prolactinemia effects that menil does .
But I do think it's important to mention caffeine because of the lower incidence of side effects , at least reported side effects and the general safety margins and the head to head essentially comparable efficacy with monoxide because monoxide has a bunch of other issues . Now , keep in mind that both men and caffeine are generally used as a preventative for reducing hair loss over time . They are not expected and they do not as far as we know , create new hair growth to any sufficient degree .
It might seem a little bit esoteric or even outside the margins of typical treatments . But head to head , topical caffeine application can be as effective as monoxide application without actually lowering things like blood pressure and potentially increasing prolactin and some of the other negative let's call them negative because they are side effects of monoxide . So , caffeine ointments and caffeine present in various hair treatments and creams , et cetera is starting to become a more prominent theme out there .
