Brief Summary

The goal of this study was to learn if dietary supplement in capsules and drinkable works to help hair loss in volunteers with chronic telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia and learn about its safety. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• 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. Participants will:
• Take assigned diatry supplement in capsule or drinkable or a placebo every day for 6 months
• Visit the study facility once every 3 months for evaulations
• Keep a diary of the product use
