Researchers from the University of Sheffield and COMSATS University, Pakistan, have discovered that a sugar found naturally in the body called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) may promote hair growth. The journal Frontiers in Pharmacology wrote about the discovery.
Scientists tested how sugar heals wounds on mice. Luckily, they found that it helped hair grow where it wasn’t there. The results from sugar were no worse than the commercial drug.
Researchers believe that in the future, products based on 2-deoxy-D-ribose could enter clinical practice for the treatment of alopecia. In the meantime, they recommended that balding men apply sugar syrup to their hair to help it grow.
