Please note, however, that while individual ingredients may have been shown to exhibit certain independent effects when used alone, the specific combination of ingredients contained in Warrior Protocol have not been tested in clinical trials. No specific claims are being made that use of Warrior Protocol will lead to the precise effects discussed above and below.
Additionally, please note that the Warrior Protocol has not been reviewed or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

What Makes Us Better Than The Others?
Hair loss is a complex problem and requires a complex solution. Mainstream treatments have not kept up with scientific advancements, but Maximus has. The Warrior Protocol uses the latest and greatest to tackle hair loss from multiple angles.
- Warrior Protocol
- Traditional Treatment
Warrior Protocol
Unlike the traditional treatments for hair loss, Maximus uses hormone-safe medications at effective concentrations that are proven to work.
A study found latanoprost (used in Warrior) increased hair density by 38 hair/cm2 after 24 weeks.2 A different study, evaluating finasteride (traditional treatment) under similar conditions, found only a 10 hair/cm2 increase in hair density after 24 weeks.3 That's a 3.8x greater increase in hair density from latanoprost.
The Warrior Protocol includes a custom dermastamp with 1.5mm titanium microneedles. Studies have shown these microneedling increase hair growth results from minoxidil (also included in Warrior) up to 4x.1 Unlike other dermarollers, which may tug and even tear skin, Maximus’ dermastamp device — included with each order — applies evenly.*
BECOME A WARRIORTraditional Treatment
Over-the-counter supplements don’t work and the traditional hair loss treatments are still in the Stone Age. Of the traditional treatments, finasteride has shown to have some effectiveness — but carries risks.
• Finasteride inhibits production of the hormone DHT. DHT plays an important role in sexual function. Research has shown DHT increase erections in men, and taking medications like finasteride that block DHT can cause erectile dysfunction. 4 5 6
• DHT has also been shown to play a role in stimulating facial hair growth. 7
• Finasteride also interrupts hormones that regulate mood. Use of finasteride has been linked to depression.8
What about topical finasteride? Research shows topical finasteride lowers DHT by 35%. 9
Ingredients With Proven Efficacy

The investigational sites differed in hair density from 8 weeks onward. At 24 weeks at the latanoprost-treated site, the density (+22% in the entire study population) was significantly higher compared with baseline and placebo. 2

Latanoprost
Latanoprost is a groundbreaking medication which studies have shown is able to grow head and beard hair. Unlike finasteride, latanoprost does not interrupt hormones that regulate mood and sexual function.
Amal Ahmad El-Ashmawy, Iman Hamed El-Maadawy & Gamal Mohamed El-Maghraby (2018) Efficacy of topical latanoprost versus minoxidil and betamethasone valerate on the treatment of alopecia areata, Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 29:1, 55-64, DOI: 10.1080/09546634.2017.1330527
Minoxidil
Minoxidil (Rogaine) has been shown to increase hair growth in a dose-dependent manner. Warrior uses minoxidil at a concentration of 8%, a strength not available over the counter.
Olsen EA, Whiting D, Bergfeld W, Miller J, Hordinsky M, Wanser R, Zhang P, Kohut B. A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial of a novel formulation of 5% minoxidil topical foam versus placebo in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2007 Nov;57(5):767-74. doi: 10.1016/j.jaad.2007.04.012. Epub 2007 Aug 29. PMID: 17761356.
Tretinoin
Minoxidil has been shown to have its effects enhanced when when applied in along with tretinoin.
Sharma A, Goren A, Dhurat R, Agrawal S, Sinclair R, Trüeb RM, Vañó-Galván S, Chen G, Tan Y, Kovacevic M, Situm M, McCoy J. Tretinoin enhances minoxidil response in androgenetic alopecia patients by upregulating follicular sulfotransferase enzymes. Dermatol Ther. 2019 May;32(3):e12915. doi: 10.1111/dth.12915. Epub 2019 Apr 23. PMID: 30974011.
Melatonin
Melatonin, most known for its role in mediating the wake-sleep cycle, has actually been shown to increase the hair count 40% after six months of application.

Azelaic Acid
Azelaic acid, a medicine used to treat acne, reduce inflammation, and kill bacteria on the skin has also been found to promote hair growth. Studies have shown it to have an additive effect with Vitamin B6 (P5P), another ingredient in the Warrior Protocol.

Zinc-Thymulin
Thymulin, a naturally occurring compound produced by the thymus gland, has been shown to extend the anagen (growth) phase of hair. Its biologically activities are dependent on the mineral zinc. Both are included, bound to one another, in The Warrior Protocol.

Vitamin B6 (P5P)
Because of its role in protein metabolism, Vitamin B6, is important to hair growth. Studies have shown an additive effect with azelaic acid in growing hair.

Sandalore (for fragrance)
Sandalore is a synthetic sandalwood-like odorant.
Methyl Vanillate (for fragrance)
Methyl vanillate is an analogue of vanillin, which is the primary compound responsible for the smell of vanilla beans.

Will Warrior make my hair look greasy once applied?
No, The Warrior Protocol uses a dehydrated base to prevent giving the hair a greasy appearance once applied.
Can I use Warrior with other Maximus Protocols?
Yes. Many men experience the greatest improvements when on more than one Maximus protocol as they are complementary and hold no contraindications. Your dedicated Maximus doctor will review holistically your health goals and symptoms to ensure you achieve the optimal results whether you are on one or more protocol.
Can I use Warrior if I’m taking other hair loss treatments (ie, finasteride, minoxidil)?
Yes, though you typically should not overlap medications. It is not necessary and may increase risk of adverse effects. Please disclose all medications you are taking with your Maximus doctor so they can advise further.
Can I use Warrior if I’ve had a hair transplant?
Yes, but only once it has healed. Please consult the doctor that performed the transplant to confirm when topicals may be safely applied. Disclose this information to your Maximus doctor.
What is the cost and what’s included?
Depending if you choose Warrior (0.03%) or Warrior MAX (0.1%), your subscription will be $149.99 or $199.99, respectively. Both options include doctor consultation, dermastamp, and medication (if qualified).
How do I know Warrior is working?
As part of each refill you will have the opportunity to take new pictures of your hair growth, which will be shared with your doctor so that you two can track your progress over time.
Does Warrior have any adverse effects?
The ingredients used in the Warrior protocol pose minimal risk of side effects.
Erythema (redness of the skin) is the most common side effect associated with topical application of latanoprost. ¹
Side effects associated with minoxidil use are rare but include dryness, itching, scaling, flaking, redness. ²
