Propecia & Natural Herbal Alternative

Article by HairlossTalk.com

Men experiencing hair loss, and women diagnosed with Androgenetic Alopecia are all looking for a "DHT inhibitor" that works. Check out HairlossTalk's suggested "Propecia alternative" ...There's a whole subset of people out there who have an aversion to "pharmaceutical" products, and while Propecia is without a doubt the most clinically proven DHT inhibitor that ALSO has been shown to stop hair loss (important distinction, as many things can inhibit DHT but may not stop hair loss!)... there are still a lot of people seeking a "natural alternative" to Propecia.

As far as women go, Propecia is not an option, as it is not considered a safe way to inhibit DHT systemically... so they too are looking for more creative ways to accomplish the same goal. A very common drug prescribed for women with Androgenetic Alopecia is an oral version of Spironolactone. There is now a topical version with no side effects called "S5 Cream". Along with it comes potential for side effects, just like Propecia does, for men. Our stance on this issue is, and always has been, for men to try Propecia and give it a month to see how well they tolerate it. If all is well, then "you're gonna be just fine!" Women can look in to oral spironolactone with the guidance of their doctor as well.

HairlossTalk's recommended "Natural" alternative to Propecia

But what if side effects are too intolerable for men using Propecia? What if women
are unable to tolerate oral Spironolactone? We'll you can always try the very effective "Topical Spironolactone". There is a whole jungle of unproven treatments on the market right now that claim to "inhibit DHT" or "stimulate hair growth". As mentioned previously, just because something has been found to "inhibit DHT', this does not mean its going to do a thing for your hair loss. This is why clinical data supporting such action is so important, and unfortunately, so rare. As several of our articles this month have covered, few if any of the unproven products on the market them have any actual scientific data backing them. As you know, people's opinions, and subjective reviews have the potential for extreme error, so determining the legitimacy of a product is always about the legitimacy of the scientific data backing its ingredients.


When HairlossTalk first started, we researched all the products out there. Avacor, Hair Genesis, Fabao 101, Nisim... you name it. There must have been a thousand companies making the same claims. In the realm of unproven products, only a handful actually had some serious scientific backing, and it was only these products that we felt comfortable suggesting to our users. That said, two of the most potentially helpful unproven products out there, in our opinion, based on the data, if you REALLY need an alternative to Propecia as a DHT inhibiting agent and antiandrogen - were Revivogen and Topical Spironolactone - S5 Cream. The following review of Revivogen in conjunction with Topical Spironolactone Lotion was written by one of our users awhile back:
