Aside from propecia, is there anything else I can do to help?

[4head]

I have been on propecia since last november (a month or so before my procedure) and so far, so good. No major negative effects and I do believe that I see alot less hair falling out than I used to.

 

But is there anything else out there I can do to help keep my hair and possibly even stimulate new growth? (aside from rogaine)

 

I have heard saw palmetto and certain herbs may help out. But are these things safe to take with propecia? I also saw a post that said to drink grapefruit juice to help with absorption.

 

I just want to give the follicles a fighting chance with any advantage I can. But I did not want to do anything that would affect my health adversely taking the propecia into consideration.

 

Thanks!

4head,

 

A number fo folks here take MSM which supposedly helps hair grow and look good. Do a search on MSM and there is a whoel thread about it.

 

I also know there is a thread on hairlosshelp that speaks to what supplement and shampoo routines people are following. There are several similar threads in the section below on Herbal Hairloss Remedies.

I did a search here but I could not find anything on MSM or shampoos and such, that people are using.

 

I did look it up on google and MSM does look like a good, safe option. Does anyone here have personal experience with it or other things. Is it safe to use other supplements with Propecia? I did not want to "OD" on any one thing that could be helpful in limited quantities.

 

I currently use a shampoo called Nioxin which is supposed to help with DHT to promote hair health and thickness. I also have sebhorric dermatitis so I use dry scalp shampoo a couple times a week to keep that under control.

 

Are there other options out there for me?

 

Thanks!
