Corvinex Extra Strength Hair Growth Serum with 5% Minoxidil for Men with Azelaic Acid 5% and Emu Oil
Minoxidil 5% is the only FDA-approved topical ingredient clinically proven to regrow hair in men. Minoxidil is a "potassium channel agonist." It contains the chemical structure of Nitric oxide (NO), a blood vessel dilator, and may be a nitric oxide agonist. This may explain Minoxidil's ability to stimulate hair growth and treat hair loss. Since Minoxidil is a nitric oxide related compound it was suspected to act via activation of Guanylate cyclase, an enzyme involved in vasodilation, however there are no reports of cGMP or PKG activation to date.
Azelaic Acid 5% (pronounced az-uh-LAY-ic) is a simple molecule ( HOOC(CH2)7COOH, CAS Number 123-99-9, also known as 1,9-Nonanedioic acid) that is found in some whole grains and in trace amounts in human bodies. Although it is an acid, it is an extremely weak acid - much weaker than vinegar. A research report by Stamatiadis in 1988 suggested that azelaic acid was a strong type I 5-alpha reductase (5-AR) inhibitor.
Emu Oil has been known to nourish dormant hair follicles, help to darken hair that is starting to gray. Peroxide free Emu Oil supplemented with Saw Palmetto Oil and mixed natural tocotrienols. A Boston University study reported that emu oil activated 80% of dormant hair follicles into the hair-growing stage.
