Here’s the truth. Hair loss products on the market today can vary in quality from bottle to bottle, because the standards for using high-quality ingredients aren’t maintained (source).
That’s why Locklab third-party tests every ingredient, every time, to ensure each pill you take matches the quality you need for a great head of hair. Others skip this crucial step because it’s time-consuming and costly.
So why do we do it? Because everyone at Locklab takes this pill, and we only sell what we take ourselves.
Finasteride has been FDA approved to treat male pattern baldness for decades. Originally created to reduce enlargement of the prostate gland, it inhibits the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair.
Finasteride helps to stimulate hair growth and slow down the progression of balding. The medication has a relatively low risk of side effects, and offers an overall safe and effective way for men to combat hair loss. (source)
Locklab’s 1.1mg has been found by Dr. Dan McGrath to be a slightly more effective dose than the generic 1mg, while still minimizing side effects.
Called “the best drug we ever had for hair growth” by Dr. Wilma Bergerfeld, MD of the Cleveland Clinic (source). Oral minoxidil was FDA approved to treat blood pressure in 1998, and is currently prescribed off label—meaning only by a physician—to treat male pattern baldness.
Oral minoxidil works by by increasing oxygen and nutrient flow to the hair follicles and pushing hair follicles into their anagen phase. Anagen is the growth phase of the hair follicle whereas catagen is the stable phase and telogen is the shedding phase. Minoxidil shifts follicles into the anagen phase indefinitely.
Studies have shown that 5mg of oral minoxidil, like that in Locklab, is nearly 100% effective at increasing hair count (source), a 35% increase over the generic 2.5mg you’ll find elsewhere (source). The 5mg in Locklab also yields the fastest response time of any hair regrowth treatment (source).
Like a superfood for your hair. Oral biotin is a B vitamin supplement that is essential for the growth and maintenance of healthy hair, and crucial for improving the health of your follicles. (source)
In nature, biotin is consumed through food because your body doesn’t store it — but it plays a key role in the production of keratin, a protein that makes up hair. Oral biotin supplements have been shown to increase hair thickness and promote hair growth in people with hair loss or thinning hair. (source)
Locklab packs in a solid 1mg of third-party tested biotin for increased hair thickness, versus only 0.3mg in most gummies.
Yes, for 90% of men. No treatment can take your hair from fully bald to a full head of hair, but the ingredients in Locklab will prevent future hair loss for 97% of men, and 90% will see a visible improvement in hair coverage.
3-6 months to see regrowth, and Locklab works right away to stop further hair loss. Your best results—meaning thicker, fuller locks and increased hair count—typically become more prominent between 4-9 months.
0.3% of men stop treatment due to sexual side effects, which research shows go away if the medication is discontinued. Still too much? We get it. But a 99% chance of having sex with your own hair on your head? Lock and load, buddy.
