"Male pattern baldness is such a common condition, affecting men all over the world, but at the moment there are only two FDA licensed drugs to treat it," said Sheila MacNeil, a professor at the University of Sheffield. "Our research suggests that the answer to treating hair loss might be as simple as using a naturally occurring deoxy ribose sugar to boost the blood supply to the hair follicles to encourage hair growth."

"Scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be used as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness | In the study, mice received 2dDR-SA gel for 21 days, resulting in greater number of blood vessels and an increase in hair follicle length and denseness."

"2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) the molecule that made recent headlines worldwide, which is 2dDR. It is a D-isomer of ribose, naturally present in the human body and many other organisms. The human body can and does produce it in some amounts. However, a new clinical study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology found that it may increase hair regrowth by as much as 50% when applied topically."
