The study: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40543-019-0178-0
Lactobacillus Plantarum is very commonly used as a probiotic, but new studies done in vivo on rats have shown that hydrolysates from this bacteria can grow hair just as effectively as minoxidil. Now, that is lifefuel for those who do not want to use minoxidil due to there maybe being collagen loss.
Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) are both key players in how hair grows. Minoxidil increases VEGF and that is for the most part how it regrows hair and same thing for the probiotic.
Affects on VEGF and IGF-1:
Note: B and D are human dermal papilla cells(basically cells that emulate how hair grows), A and C are MG-63 cells.
LP, LP-A, LP-B, and LP-P are all hydrolysates, and A, B and P are things added to the bacteria hydrolysate
Visual differences in rats:
The probiotic is very cheap, but you would have to open the capsules to put them topically on your scalp. Now, I do not know how the over the counter probiotic will compare to the hydrolysates, but it does not hurt to try. I suspect that with microneedling it will give good results, but be careful as it is a bacteria and timings would have to be figured out.
TLDR: PUT A PROBIOTIC ON YOUR SCALP AND IT MIGHT REGROW YOUR HAIR LIKE MINOXIDIL
