    Revivogen's ingredients.

    Seem kind of .... simple. Basically omega 3, 6, 9 with Saw palmetto, azelaic acid and a few other vitamins.

    Would it not be cheaper to just take omega 3, 6 and 9 and the other vitamins and apply saw palmetto drops to your hair and get azelaic acid on it's own?

    You'll probably see posts about it being unique with it's free form fatty acids. Other products do contain them though.

    I don't know of any products (not even Revivogen!) which have stated explicitly in their advertising or product labeling that they use "free-form" fatty acids. The difference, though, is that the makers of Revivogen have clearly stated in the past in posts on hairloss sites that that's what they use.
    1) No, damnit, finasteride for hairloss was NOT an "accidental discovery".
    2) No, you do NOT have to use minoxidil and Retin-A at the same time.
    3) No, washing your skin does NOT make it produce more sebum.

    Re: Revivogen's ingredients.

    A question for Bryan: What do you feel of Revivogen's anti androgenic properties? Do you feel it is stronger than topical s5?

    Re: Revivogen's ingredients.

    I can't really answer that question, for the simple reason that I haven't kept-up in recent years with the changes in Revivogen's formula (my understanding is that it has some very recent changes, although I have no idea what they are).

    When Revivogen first came out several years ago, I believe they used saw palmetto as one of the ingredients, and I believe that's what they used to claim as one of their "antiandrogenic" ingredients. I've never been particularly impressed with saw palmetto. I'm dubious that it makes a good antiandrogen.

    I'm still mystified ... so the only reason people spend ****loads of money on revivogen is because their fatty acids are 'free form'

    You are all over the fricken map on this. So now you admit that they only "say" it..but the product probably doesn't contain them? So you've just been running around saying the same thing all these years? I can't say I'm surprised, given you do the same with Dr. P and Prox etc...but

    Huh?! What the hell are you talking about?? There's no doubt in my mind that the product contains what they say it contains!!
