Protein or Propecia which works better for Hair Loss?
Both protein and propecia help in hair loss but which one of them gives the better result? Please share your views.

How exactly does protein help hair loss? Protein is necessary for the body to produce hair, but excess protein is removed by the kidneys. Consuming an adequate amount of protein will maximize your hair's health, but this is marginal compared to the effects of genetically programmed male pattern baldness. Propecia on the other hand is a medication that blocks DHT production, the hormone which induces miniaturization in scalp hair follicles preprogrammed to do so. All that to say, Propecia will help hairloss by many orders of magnitude more than protein supplementation. In fact, I would argue protein supplementation will not help male pattern baldness at all. It would only help if you were losing hair due to nutritional deficiency, which is not the same as MPB.

I completely agree with bonitis. Any sort of vitamins or supplements will only stop hair loss if that hair loss is caused by a nutritional deficiency. Typical male pattern baldness is hormonal, not nutritional, and Propecia addresses this specifically.
I am a representative for Dr. Sean Behnam in Los Angeles, CA.
My opinions are my own.
