    I would get on propecia. It has worked great for me. I wish I had started earlier and not listened to the scare sites.

    i almost succumbed to the advertisements of revivogen. i'm sure using the product will help hair loss for some but upon trying to find solid proof of the effects of revivogen, i couldn't find anything substantial. also the doctor who promotes it doesn't have any journal articles stating any positive clinical trials.

    like the previous poster said, try the FDA approved drug propecia. i also agree in not being suckered into the scare of the side effects. most people who come to forums and complain are the rare 1-2% of people with side effects and the vast majority who actually got improvements stop visiting the forums because they are already satisfied.

    i just started propecia yesterday, so i will be posting some results hopefully in a month or two.

    good luck!

    The only products that work to treat hereditary hair loss are:

    Rogaine - or generic Minoxidil.

    Propecia - or generic Finasteride (for men)

    Anti-androgens (for women)

    Low level laser therapy

    These treatments above do not work for everyone. Some people will get results from one or more of these treatments, while others will not get any results from any of these treatments. I am a firm believer in covering all the bases and attacking the problem with everything currently available and appropriate for you. I am not a believer in those over priced bottles of empty promises such as Revivogen, Nioxin, Provillus, Avacor, ScalpMED etc...

    I have had many patients tell me they tried the product you mentioned and not a single one told me they had any positve results after using it. You may want to consider a prescription that has been shown to help in a high percentage of patients.

    Dont forget to add TRX2 to the list of non productive scam 'products'.

    Many of these product are very similar and may just have one or two different ingredients to make it a little different.
