Aruna V, Amruthavalli GV, Gayathri R

The present study reports the selective dermal absorption of Epi Gallo Catechin 3 Gallate (EGCG) than the mucosal absorption. If the absorption of EGCG is not properly achieved the therapeutic benefits that are expected out of EGCG are not likely to occur. Green tea is promoted with the proven therapeutic benefit i.e., alpha reductase inhibition. Anagen grow has been formulated after establishing the forward and reverse absorption of EGCG and other herbal actives and thus the formulation is effective for hair growth and retarding alopecia. Details are presented in the article.
