Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2019 Have you guys heard about the recent study that came out, stating that Procapil was more effective, but what do you guys think? Is Procapil More Effective Than Rogaine? I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted December 3, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 3, 2019 So it sounds like if you can just add a bit of pumpkin seed oil and emu oil into your minoxidil you will get an improvement over using minoxidil alone. I would say that's the way to go. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

I would say that's the way to go. I’ve used emu oil for years...for cuts/burns and also every night a month after my HT, I sorta swear by its healing abilities as I’ve seen proof on myself...I’m not sure about combining emu and pumpkin seed oils into Minoxidil is a good way to go about it, now, if one gets some Minoxidil pill or powder and mixes it with Emu & punpkin seed oil into an ethanol solution than I think that would be a better topical....cut out the already greasy propylene glycol in Minoxidil liquid.

So these products seem sketchy to me to be honest. Say all that...I think AA should be sold OTC. Edited December 4, 2019 by CosmoKramer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These type of hair serums on amazon remind me of when the bodybuilding suppliment companies got in trouble and raided by the Feds for including anabolic steroid ingredients in their OTC supplement “stacks”, I’m just curious how AA can be included in these serums legally or if the companies are just flat out lying it’s inclusion in the procduct to make more $$$.

Senior Member harry_potter1 Posted December 11, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted December 11, 2019 On 12/4/2019 at 3:33 AM, Melvin-Moderator said: hair shedding Interesting. Are you doing it all the way or just in the 1st few months? My dermatologist has prescribed me over 3 medications as growth factor for the shedding (along minoxidil) , a serum, a mask and a shampoo.All are actually expensive and it is a bit of a disturbing routine. I've started minoxidil today, I think I can do the "twice per day" thing regularly but I doubt I will do it with the others more than few months. I don't know if I will ever stick to that and wondering if I should have started it in the 1st place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it’s hard to say, the FDA doesn’t regulate it. It could be trace amounts for all I know. Amazon doesn’t allow minoxidil and Azelaic acid to be sold on there. This is why Lipogaine took it off. Funny though now they don’t even sell their minoxidil on there anymore. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.
