Mammals cannot produce antibodies to DHT and 5-α reductase, the substances causing male and female pattern baldness, because these substances are not treated as “foreign.” They don’t stimulate an immune reaction in mammals. Since they are foreign to birds, they do stimulate the formation of antibodies. Dr. Yasuhiro Tsukamoto, our co-founder, compared antibody production among chickens, quail, and ostriches. Ostrich antibodies were four times stronger than those produced by chickens and quail. They are also produced in much higher quantities in the ostrich egg yolks. Ostrich antibodies were our clear choice for OstriGrow.
