Kevin Mann did a video on it and he didn't seem to think it was all that great, and certainly compared to other treatments it won't give you insane results as compared to super responders to RU or minoxidil, but I have done very well on it.
The benefits:
- is proven to inhibit the androgen AND IGF-1 receptor which can be a largely overlooked vector of harm to hair
- has an antibacterial action and comedolytic (anti acne) function to keep your hair follicles from getting inflamed
- from my experience absolutely will help people with a slight to moderate sensitivity to androgens regrow hair
The drawbacks:
- it can possibly do mitochondrial damage, thus it is not something you can use for years and years which I won't be
- it can be quite expensive, I buy it cost reduced on my prescription medical plan but otherwise it may be cost prohibitive due to its moderate efficacy
- it must be used as an adjunct therapy to other medications. You will likely not be able to coast on this alone, but is quite useful in treating igf-1 related hair loss as a stop gap until the problem can be properly addressed
It's up to you as to whether you want to try it, but if you can get it on the cheap, it absolutely does work.
