Hi guys, I'm 24 and thinning like crazy. Always had thick hair, and then bang,it caught up with me. Thanks!

Been using nioxin and nanogen. I dont know if they do a thing.

Provillus - I have been reading some great things about this, and was wondering if anyone has given it a testdrive yet?

thanks

I would skip the nonsense and take propecia if I was you. It works

I have never heard of this drug or supplement. Who is it made by? Under what mechanism does it claim to work by? Is it a topical or oral medication/supplement?

I was actually just reading about this. I haven't seen any negative criticism about it on any websites yet...but I haven't read all the forums about it. I decided to have a chat with someone on their site for live help. Sounded like a lot of sales gimics and not enough real information. I'd be curious to find out more myself...but I would get on Propecia which has a high success rate for sure.

Hi everyone,

I've just written a review about this based on peoples feedback. I found out that Provillus and propecia can be used together as they both tackle different phases of DHT production.

Its natural and has no sexual side effects which a lot of DHT inhibitors do. It comes in tablet and solution but the solution can only be bought in the US for some reason. It also has a 90-Day money back guarantee which I think is a really great ploy.

The only negatives I know are that some people had stomach problems for a few days after they started taking it, and that some people have an allergic reaction to its main ingreadient Saw Palmetto.

I have taken Provillus (OVER PRICED!!!)for one year as a substitute of Propecia. First 4 months results were good. No hair loss. But than hair loss started and I had to start take Propecia again. "Unfortunately" there is nothing better...

remember just because a product is natural does not mean that it doesnt have side- effects.Provillus active ingrediant, saw palmetto does not block DHT it just lowers it, which in turn causes a rise in estrogen. This will not cease MPB

The reason there is no negative press is because provillus flat out works, beats propecia by a mile. (link removed) has great info on provillus including a comparison video. They also sell it with a 10% rebate.. Cool site too

Larry,

Have you actually used Provillus or do you work for the company?

Provillus contains a number of ingredients, the only one of which is proven is minoxidil. At the very least, we can say that the topical solution will work just as well as Rogaine.

Read more on Provillus.
