Anyone heard of or used this stuff? It's a natural DHT blocker and sort of multi-vitamin.

 

The reviews on Amazon are super suspicious, as about 1/2 of them are by profiles with no name or history. But some of the other reviews seem decent, and some of the ingredients are ones I keep coming across in various posts/articles on hair loss prevention (ie- saw palmetto, ashwaganda).

 

I searched this forum and seems it's never been mentioned in here, unless I searched wrong.

 

Just curious.

I would not waste my money on this very expensive product. Nothing revolutionary in the ingredients and it cost a whopping $88 per month.

Horsetail (herb) Extract (Equistum arvense))

 

Horsetail?? That's a new one.

 

Baron,

 

I agree with Dave: the only "active" ingredient I see here is Saw Palmetto. And even this is a fairly anecdotal "natural DHT blocker." I've never seen overly convincing results from it.

Dr. Blake Bloxham is recommended by the Hair Transplant Network.

Horsetail or equisetum arvense is actually a very common ingredient in many hair supplements. It is an ancient herb proven to promote hair health. You can promote the growth of a lot of healthy hairs as well strengthen your current hair on Nutrafol but it will not stop androgenic alopecia.
