Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted October 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hi Phat, Unfortunately, none of these products have been thoroughly reviewed and tested like minoxidil. It is difficult to recommend any alternative product with no objective scientific data. As of now, the only two - non-surgical - therapies approved for the treatment of androgenic alopecia are finasteride and minoxidil. Any particular reason why you don't want to take minoxidil?

Senior Member london81 Posted October 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2014 There's 'Nanoxidil' I've just started to use it as I'm very sensitive to Minoxidil so I'm going to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member combatdad Posted November 13, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 13, 2014 How is your current regimen working? I've used a similar regimen and yielded results. I just paired them with some PSO (topical and ingestible) and saw palmetto. I also massage frequently, hot and cold showers and changed up my diet. having several years of experience working in the pharmaceutical industry, i know that the FDA seal of approval is a marketing tool that only big pharma can afford. obviously in order to get the FDA approval you need clinical trials with proof. so yes, if the fda has approved them then you know it works to a degree but it doesn't discount alternative options since a lot of alternative methods don't have the funding to go through the trials. There was actually a double blind clinical trial done this year that yielded real results from using pumpkin seed oil. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
