    Top 3 supplements for price and effectiveness

    Regimen is working fine for me. I also use Revita shampoo and minoxidil before bed. I'm 29, not getting any more bald, so I think I'll last at least until we have cheap cloning. The IH made my hair shinier, I think, but that's about it. It's just a crazy amount of pills to be taking. I might...

    Top 3 supplements for price and effectiveness

    So I was on Dutasteride for a few years, until I realized it was making me fat, and I dropped it and switched to herbal things (about a year ago). For a while I was taking saw palmetto extract, but I dropped that too because it had similar if much milder sides than dutasteride. I now take three pills...

    Hair Multiplication Update:Histogen!

    This is a very interesting development. The two patents that they allege to be infringed are: http://www.google.com/patents?id=2ssKAA ... =6,372,494 and http://www.google.com/patents?id=ZFN7AA ... =7,118,746 Gail Naughton, named defendent and CEO of Histogen is listed as an inventor. I...

    Hair Multiplication Update:Histogen!

    Given the financial circumstances in which Histogen finds itself, I would imagine that they create a strong presumption against injunctive relief under Ebay v. MercExchange. Moreover, Histogen does have some IP portfolio of its own, which may obtain for them blocking value against the...

    Hair Multiplication Update:Histogen!

    Yes. Yes, but since you can clone the relevant cells, you only need to grab a couple hairs and clone them instead of slicing out a 4 inch chunk of the back of your head. They're not cloning entire hairs, just the important cells that form the "seed" of the hair follicle, and it looks like...

    Hair Multiplication Update:Histogen!

    I think the idea is that they clone cells from the back of your head that are DHT resistant.

    dutasteride Dosage

    I took .5mg every other day for 5 years. My hair got better and looks great but it also made me put on weight that I couldn't lose through diet/exercise. Gradually switched to every third day (past couple months) and then eliminated it altogether (a few weeks ago), and I'm getting compliments...

    Yet another topical finasteride study

    5 tablets in 50ml would be .05%? Not unless your tablets are 5 micrograms each. Do you mean 5%? Meanwhile, I discovered that I threw out my finasteride, so I cut the tips off 4 .5mg dutasteride tablets and squeezed the contents into a 60ml bottle of minoxidil. Maybe that will do some good.

    Resveratrol

    I did a little digging and started taking it to help with the side effects from dutasteride (mild weight gain). I have found it helpful. I take 500mg/day (biotivia's transmax, cheaper on NSI than biotivia's site). Nobody really understands the absorption thing. Pure resveratrol isn't very...

    Yet another topical finasteride study

    So if I'm currently taking Dutasteride EOD and I'm looking to ditch it (makes me fat), is squeezing some pills into Rogaine likely to be as effective with fewer side effects? That's what I infer from this study, though I realize it's not the same drug and all. Am I crazy?

    Yet another topical finasteride study

    Is it absorbed systemically? Or is the dosage so low compared to oral preparations that it would have a negligible effect even if it were?

    Has anyone heard of a vitamin e supplement called Toco-8?

    I bought the NSI brand of the same stuff, am almost done with the bottle, nothing. Maybe this guy's powder is much better formulated or preserved or something but frankly I doubt it. Never even heard of it being used for sexual sides/enhancement.

    Revita Shampoo questions

    Uptick -- yeah, everyone always sheds a little. My two (female) flatmates pull hairballs out of the drain every time they take a shower... But it does seem to have subsided for now. Maybe it just knocked out all the weak hairs. Guess we'll see

    Revita Shampoo questions

    Just started using it, and I definitely noticed an uptick in shedding. Nothing major, but like 10 or so hairs in my hands after lathering, and I wasn't seeing any before. I've also cut back on my dutasteride a little bit, from 2x/week to 1x/5days, so it's possible that the revita isn't...

    New Tx: Virile Mane (Raspberry Ketones, Apple Polys etc..)

    I'd definitely be interested to hear your results. If you took pictures, and the results were good, you could probably convince them to give you a freebee -- that sort of thing appears common on the anabolicminds forums where these guys ply their trades.
