Researchers have found that stevioside, a natural sweetener from the Stevia plant, improves the skin absorption of minoxidil, a common treatment for pattern baldness. In mouse tests, a patch combining the two stimulated hair growth by reactivating follicles. This approach could lead to more effective natural therapies for millions affected by androgenetic alopecia.

The treatment, based on monounsaturated fatty acids, shows promise in lab tests on human hair follicles. Scientists plan human trials following encouraging results.
