    Default Natural remedies

    Good afternoon everyone,

    My hair has been thinning/falling out for the past year and I've tried minoxidil, it didn't work as it caused chest pain and dry eyes. So now I'm looking for natural remedies (pills, vitamins...) that'll just slow down or even better, stop the balding process.

    Thank you !

    to be very frank, in my and in others opinion, there is no natural product out there that will work. only minoxidil and propecia effectively will halt hair loss and give you some regrowth. these are trusted time and time again products that work, but yes, they have side effects depending on the person using them. i wouldnt put my faith in an all natural product.

    Dear warner8 are you referring to the FDA or DA actually that approved merck for $?
    How can you prove that there is no natural product that works?

    Lets just say every guy I ever met with strong genetic history of MPB after they started losing hair changed their diets first. Diet is one thing under someones control so every guy starting to go bald changes diet first. I dont know any guy that ever kept his hair without using any legit treatment. I eat the same as someone I know and he his really bald and I have very small gradual amount of hair loss but we eat the same things.
    Could a natural thing like say saw palmetto stop hair loss? Yes it could but you would have to take so much of it that its harmful anyways I mean drinking too much water can kill you. Is water bad for you? Almost everything taken in high doses can be dangerous but MPB requires that for any difference hence a drug. So I dont think anything natural in safe normal doses can stop it.

    I´m still using the same stuff as posted before.
    Works great for me and regarding multiple people, it´s impossible to know.
    Many states that they tried the natural route, but usually it means pills in a synthetic form like biotin or compounded snake oils.

    I agree, FDA is one of the most corrupt organisations there is ontop of Merck. *Puts Tin foil hat on*

    "Kind of strange" that they relied on Merck´s side effect study with finasteride, that was minimal on their own so called trial.
    Merck played on the safe side and put a small percent of possible sides for backup, that sides can actually happen.

    If they put for example only 2% gets possible sides then you are one of the unlucky ones, but still you took the risk even if the sides are minimal on paper.

    I won't be touching it ever again personally. Not after what I experienced.
