some real reviews on Stimulair

Hello remembers,

I just joined this forum. I am 27 and started seeing some hair thinning. Looking at buying Nioxin solution but while doing some research I came across Stimulair. I see lots of review on the net but want some real review of the product. Anyone?

What about Nioxin? Any suggestions.

What about vitamins for hair, I have used Nature's Blend. Not sure if it helped or not but can't hurt being its all natural. Any comments about the vitamins?

Only two things work -Minoxidil and Finestride. There might be other products that use these drugs as their main ingredients too. Don't waste your money on anything else. You could take all the vitamins in the world and still lose your hair. Any body who claims they have vitamins that can stimulate hair growth is a liar and a SCAMMER. If Minox or Fin don't work for you I'm afraid nothing else will.

what about this:
What side effects can this medication cause?

Finasteride may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

*

inability to have or maintain an erection
*

decreased sexual desire <<<<< no thanks,
*

decreased volume of ejaculate (amount of semen)
*

pain in the testicles

Vitamins wont do anything or anything else you mentioned in your OP.

Dee, there are like one trillion threads on the subject of Fin and its side effects. So, it's up to you to read and educate yourself. But if you wanna believe everything a bunch of mostly crazy people say, then go ahead.

Hair vitamins or any vitamins alone won't do anything about the hair loss, it may do a little about your existing hair's health but won't be enough to stop hair loss which is what all of us wants from a treatment. Minox and Finasteride may or may not have some side effects. Before you use it, consult with your doctor first. If you experience serious side effects and you feel uneasy about it, just stop immediately. With all these mixed reviews going around, it's really best to try it our yourself because what works for you may not work for others and vice versa. But for now, Minoxidil and Finasteride and Ketoconazole are the best choices.

People may be quick to point out that minoxidil and fenasteride are the only ingredients that work for hair loss but that’s not accurate. Not even these ingredients will work for all hair loss.

What many of these “regrow hair in 4 months” manufacturers, like Rogaine, fail to draw attention to is the fine print in their product promotions that state, “helps reverse the progression of HEREDIARY HAIR LOSS”. It also states “NOT INDICATED FOR OTHER CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS”.

Before spending any money on a hair loss product, understand the type of hair loss you have.

The goal in any hair regrowth product is to suppress or block the DHT production that strangles the hair follicles causing them to shrink and fall out.

This can be accomplished by using products containing ingredients like saw palmetto that suppress DHT production without producing the potential side effects of minoxidil and fenasteride.

The rate at which these products perform, if at all, will be based on the root cause of hair loss by the individual, that individual’s overall health, how well the individual sticks to a prescribed regimen when selecting a product is just a few of the determining factors for success.

These companies are in business for a reason and it’s not because they haven’t achieved success in some form with their product. If it didn’t work for some, it wouldn’t be sold or purchased and they wouldn’t be in business.

Know your own situation…what may work for someone else isn’t a guarantee it will work for you. On the flip side, it may work well for you and not someone else.

Hairness, I believe I've suffered side effects from finasteride.

Can you explain how saw palmetto can do the same thing as finasteride, minus the sides?

While this is true, the most common type of hair loss is hereditary hair loss, male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness.

No one has ever been able to slow down, stop or reverse hereditary hairloss with natural DHT blockers. If natural DHT blockers actually could slow down, stop or prevent hereditary hair loss, they would likely have the same side effect profile as Finasteride.

Nioxin does absolutely nothing to treat hereditary hair loss.

The point of the post is that no one should act simply on a personal recommendation or someone's opinion.

Whether you choose to accept the risk of side effects with ANY hair loss solution is not the only factor in determining your success.

I'd ask these questions first before buying any product...

1) What type of hair loss do I have? Just because "Uncle Phil" is bald doesn't mean your hair loss is hereditary.

2) Can you follow a hair loss product regimen? Meaning, if you need to use it twice a day faithfully for 12 weeks or even 6 months can you stay with it? Or, will you become impatient and disappointed and possibly quit before you've given that product a fair shot and used it as directed? Then you end up being the guy writing the post saying the product doesn't work.

3) Are you relying solely on what you get from a blog or forum where someone tells you the product works or doesn't... or do you dig into it yourself?

4) How long has the company been in business? And, do they belong to the Better Business Bureau? This is a good indication from the consumer how this company is to work with...essential because you want someone who stands behind their product.

5) Do they stand behind the product or have you read horror stories about people getting the run around from Customer Service?

6) What's the value of their guarantee? This one is big for me. Let's say you get a money-back guarantee of 90 days...sounds good, right? If the product, like Rogaine takes anywhere from 6 months to a full year to even work, what's the guarantee worth then?

I'm not promoting any product for hair loss, what I am saying is be smart about what you choose and be prepared to make your choice based on your own research and not somebody else's opinion.

Hairness,

Do you even know why this forum exists?

Do you even know why the Women's Hair Loss Project exists?

Have you even bothered to check out the American Hair Loss Association?

You are blowing smoke and I don't get why you are here.
