In a study published in the Tropical Life Sciences Research journal, researchers investigated the effect of tocotrienol supplementation on hair growth in volunteers suffering from hair loss. Twenty one volunteers were randomly assigned to orally receive 100 mg of mixed tocotrienols daily while 17 volunteers were assigned to receive placebo capsule orally. The volunteers were monitored for the number of hairs in a predetermined scalp area as well as the weight of 20 strands of one centimetre length hair clippings before supplementation, at four and eight months.
