Is there any advantage to adding grape seed extract, stinging nettle, pygeum or other ‘natural’ ingredients to products for the treatment of MPB?
A. There is insufficient scientific testing to prove any of these ingredients beneficial. Grape seed extract is an anti-oxidant. Anti-oxidants may retard aging changes in the skin, but they do not specifically treat MPB, which is not directly related to aging. Anecdotal reports and even long-term use in various cultures may suggest benefits from some herbal treatments for MPB. But until the doses are standardized and the effects are scientifically proven, Regrowth, LLC has reservations about recommending them.
