Basically, starting with minoxidil roughly twenty-five years ago, we screened for agents that would work in people who who had previously failed other treatment. This way, anything that worked would be an improvement on present treatment. NANO, which is a naturally-occurring minoxidil analog, was a logical candidate. Sure enough, it worked.
BTW, this was the way drugs were developed in the golden age of therapeutic development, up until about the mid-1950's. If you have a clear end-point, ya try something and see if it works. Simple really.
If you want independent confirmation. IIRC, Japanese pharmaceutical giant Seisedo has patents on certain NANO derivatives for the treatment of hair loss.
As for copper peptides, etc. this has been discovered and rediscovered several times. First by us, then by the discoverer of tricomin. The Procter and Gamble company (no relation) has patents on other copper peptides for hair loss treatment.
TEMPOL, another of our patented SOD mimetics in NANO shampoo, is currently in clinical trials for radiation-induced hair loss.

"Our lead compound, Tempol, has recently concluded a phase II trial for the protection of cancer patients against radiation-induced alopecia during whole brain radiation.." Works too.
