* Does dietary supplement in capsules and drinkable reduces hair loss in women and men suffering from chronic telogen effluvium or androgenetic alopecia? * Were the products well accepted by the subjects from their´s perspective? Researchers will compare dietary supplement in capsules and drinkable to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if dietary supplements works to reduce hair loss.
