Mint Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I have seen Folligro advertised as an herbal system, but don't know if it works? Any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JacobS Posted June 20, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted June 20, 2005 What is the product composed of? Saw Palmetto, Zinc, L-Lysine and the usual vitamins? You could purchase any of these at the grocery store probably for alot less. I take Saw Palmetto and L-lysine along with Propecia and minoxidil. I counter the Propecia sexual side effects with Saw Palmetto which definately helps. ie if I miss Saw for a couple of days I notice. Plus Saw has minor diuretic properties and keeps the puffiness under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric- I just don't remember how I came on it. Give it a shot, I'll bet you get a boost from it. I take the Ultra Saw formula from GNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member 23 years old Posted May 25, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted May 25, 2008 this is completely untrue...Propecia works by limiting your testostorone...Therefore, it WILL lower your sex drive, for that is how it works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted June 12, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted June 12, 2008 Propecia doesnt lower testosterone. it is an Alpha blocker. AS far as natural supplements for hairloss Garbage!

Regular Member LeesHair Posted August 21, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2009 Propecia will not have any effect on testosterone at all, MrJobi's right it is an alpha blocker so it stops Testosterone conversion to DHT. However it won't increase it either, hormones are regulated in your body so if testosterone builds up slightly as it isn't being converted to DHT your body will stop producing as much, evening it all out. Getting on to, or back to, the topic: Folligro is very expensive for what it is, a blend of cheap generic herbs that might help, but probably won't.
