What supplements actually do something when it comes to hair loss?

[Isneezedsohard]

I'm taking a bunch of supplements, but wanna ease down on it (for my kidney's sake). What are the one's that I should keep in my cycle? Thanks.

The only natural supplement that works is castor oil. But you may get more hairy everywhere.

There's probably none that work against male pattern baldness, but some can improve the condition of the hair/scalp, or be of help in the rare case that you are deficient in one of them. I personally only take zinc picolinate, but biotin is another one that's often taken .

I know a hair trichologist that has had heaps of success using supplements you take with water in early stages.

Can't people be saved early on if they have diffused thinning. I think I have diffuse thinning but I don't know for sure, if it's in early early stages can supplements help because a trichologist said that it can if early.

Finasteride

D3 and Fish oil. Reduces inflammation for a big time in my experience.

Viviscal. I’ve used it twice and it really does work. It turns peach fuzz darker and miniaturized hairs much thicker. That stuff is insane. Expect a fuller head of hair and more darker body hair(which is why I quit)

Hi, yes & no, you can start to loose hair for many reasons other than male pattern baldness, so supplements can be a good place to start, as you may be able to improve your condition, by pinpointing and rectifying the cause, but for people who have an genetic predisposition to male pattern baldness its unlikely they will be able to maintain their hair through supplements alone, if they could there would be no need for the any of the prescription based options currently available.

Overall you have very little to loose by trying the supplement option first though, and it can often be the first positive step in the right direction.

What you lose is valuable time during which your hairline will continue to recede. Time is at the essence when it comes to correctly treating male pattern baldness, because the more hair you lose, the harder it is to grow back. Finasteride is much better at maintaining than regrowing, and so the sooner you start finasteride, the better.

Hi, yes all that's true and is good advice...... the JACOBY77 guy I was replying to is still a teenager though, he knows about Finasteride, but i'm presuming he has some trepidations about taking it at his age.

Supplements will only work if you are defficient in vitamins or minerals they won't work for genetic male pattern baldness. There are studies around saw Palmetto but really is just a very weak version of finasteride. So if the hair loss is due to poor diet then supplements are a great idea otherwise stick to the big 3.
