Melatonin Forte vs. Pure-Melatonin and Unwanted Hair Growth
Question
What is the difference between Melatonin Forte™ and Pure-Melatonin™, and can topical application of Melatonin cause hair growth on areas other than the scalp?
Answer
Melatonin Forte™ vs. Pure-Melatonin™ and Hair Growth
Both Melatonin Forte™ and Pure-Melatonin™ contain Melatonin, an ingredient that has been researched for its ability to stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss. The research cited in the product descriptions indicates that topical application of Melatonin can have this effect.
Melatonin Forte™ is a water-soluble version of Melatonin with a higher concentration (at least 10%), while Pure-Melatonin™ is the powder form typically used at lower concentrations (0.1-3%). However, the core active ingredient, Melatonin, has the same fundamental properties regarding hair growth stimulation.
Regarding your concern about hair growth on other areas, yes, if a product containing Melatonin is applied to areas where you do not want hair to grow, it is possible that it could stimulate hair growth in those areas. This is because stimulating hair growth is one of the known effects of topical Melatonin when used for this purpose.
