Although it is generally a benign condition, hair thinning can have a significant, detrimental impact on self-esteem, psychosocial functioning and the overall quality of life of affected individuals. It can also represent a substantial financial burden on individuals seeking treatment.\n\nThe objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of a novel dietary supplement containing botanical ingredients for hair thinning over the course of six months of continuous daily usage. The study supplement is scientifically formulated to specifically target the multiple underlying causes of hair thinning. In addition to the necessary vitamins, minerals, and proteins to support the nutritional needs of hair, it also contains clinically tested, standardized pharmaceutical-grade botanicals (substances obtained from plants) that target hormones, stress and inflammatory markers.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '55 Years', 'minimumAge': '21 Years',
