Prof. Dr. Axel Kramer: "I didn't discover the active ingredient; it was first detected in saliva in 1826. Forty years ago, I began to study the molecule in depth—regardless of whether or not it received international scientific recognition. The molecule is so simple that at first, no one could believe its effect."

"First of all, thiocyanate was already present during the evolution of life. Just like water, just like the oxygen we breathe, this molecule was there from the beginning. This laid the foundation for its essential role in the cellular metabolism of all living things today. The molecule itself promotes cellular activity, regardless of the cell. Even in plants, it promotes vegetative development, yield, and resistance to microorganisms, and provides protection against toxic stress."

"It's not easy to explain how thiocyanate works in the body, because there is no single mechanism of action. Rather, the effect is understood as the sum of various partial effects. As mentioned, we have a stimulating effect on the cell itself. This consequently has an anti-inflammatory and thus cell-stabilizing effect. In addition, there is the detoxifying effect on free radicals. The normal microflora—such as we find everywhere on the skin mucous membranes and in the intestines, among other things—is also strengthened. For an intact microflora, it is essential that it always has an advantage when it has sufficient thiocyanate."

"In contrast to a drug, which, due to its specific mechanism of action, only works or is intended to work in one direction, thiocyanate serves to normalize over- and under-functions. It can therefore activate or suppress, depending on the direction of the imbalance. Atopic dermatitis, for example, is a complex process composed of many elements. Thiocyanate targets all of these elements. A positive effect on hair loss was also discovered incidentally."

It has been shown that thiocyanate can slow down receding hairlines and promote hair regrowth. In the case of existing, classic baldness, thiocyanate probably cannot stimulate new hair growth. Therefore, thiocyanate is best used preventively against hair loss. I have been doing this myself for decades with great success."

Hair loss is usually triggered by hypersensitivity of the hair roots to dihydrotestosterone (a harmful androgen in the body). Other factors such as stress, malnutrition, hormonal transitions, and especially insufficient replenishment of thiocyanate due to loss during shampooing can also weaken the hair roots. The body's own molecule thiocyanate activates and strengthens the hair roots, making them less susceptible to these disruptive influences. Furthermore, radicals that inhibit hair regeneration are detoxified.

There's no evidence to suggest that thiocyanate shouldn't be effective for all forms of hair loss. This is also independent of gender: Thiocyanate normalizes metabolism nonspecifically, so it works equally well for men and women. This is different for preparations that use hormones.
