Inositol-stabilized arginine-silicate for hair growth and thickening
The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for topical or transdermal delivery, for promoting wound healing, reducing scarring, and/or promoting hair growth. Specifically, the present disclosure is directed to a topical arginine silicate formulation that demonstrates surprising improvements in promoting hair growth.
1. A method for promoting hair growth comprising:
orally administering a daily dose of a hair growth composition comprising inositol-stabilized arginine silicate to a human in need thereof;
wherein the daily dose comprises about 1.0 mg to about 5.0 mg of the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate per kilogram of the human's body weight.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate is between about 1% and about 10% by total weight of the hair growth composition.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate is about 4% by total weight of the hair growth composition.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate is 4.4% by total weight of the hair growth composition.
5. A method for increasing hair thickness comprising:
orally administering a daily dose of a hair thickening composition comprising inositol-stabilized arginine silicate to a human in need thereof;
wherein the daily dose comprises about 1.0 mg to about 5.0 mg of the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate per kilogram of the human's body weight.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate is between about 1% by total weight and about 10% of the hair thickening composition.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate is about 4% by total weight of the hair thickening composition.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate is 4.4% by total weight of the hair thickening composition.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hair growth composition comprises a second active ingredient.
10. The method of claim 5 , wherein the hair thickening composition comprises a second active ingredient.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is a female human.
12. The method of claim 5 , wherein the subject is a female human.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method promotes hair growth in a shaved area.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method increases the rate of hair growth.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the daily dose comprises about 1.0 mg, about 2.0 mg, about 3.0 mg, about 4.0 mg, or about 5.0 mg of the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate per kilogram of the subject's body weight.
16. The method of claim 5 , wherein the daily dose comprises about 1.0 mg, about 2.0 mg, about 3.0 mg, about 4.0 mg, or about 5.0 mg of the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate per kilogram of the subject's body weight.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the daily dose comprises about 1.0 mg to about 3.0 mg of the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate per kilogram of the subject's body weight.
18. The method of claim 5 , wherein the daily dose comprises about 1.0 mg to about 3.0 mg of the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate per kilogram of the subject's body weight.
19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the daily dose comprises about 2.0 mg of the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate per kilogram of the subject's body weight.
20. The method of claim 5 , wherein the daily dose comprises about 2.0 mg of the inositol-stabilized arginine silicate per kilogram of the subject's body weight.
