I got some Men's Health capsules from Asda, it has the standard vitamins, iron, zinc (152% RDA) as well as ginseng and pumpkin seed oil ...http://tinyurl.com/66yogzv it's pretty much the same as the skin, hair and nails formula but has more ingredients.
fair play, i still don't think i'd have the balls to go ahead with finasteride, i'm gonna just wait it out and hope a better topical anti-androgen comes by in the next few years. if i was not planning to have any kids, i'd go ahead with it, but i'm too young to make that decision, lol.
Nissim shampoo sounds good, but expensive. I'm also using the Keto shampoo (Nizoral) once every 2 or 3 days; if it needs washing in between there, I use a Naked Shine shampoo from Boots - 97% natural with no harsh chemicals. I did use Regenepure for a while but I'm not paying to keep getting that imported.
I put some Keto cream on last night too, may do that about twice a week. And I've started putting on Miconazole cream everyday after putting my Regaine on in the morning.
The best of luck!
I think the keto and the micon cream will do the same thing. They are from the same family. My only advice is to fight the urge to put it on daily as t may dry the scalp. I noticed the difference in length overnight on a number of small hairs on my hairline. I'm seeing new hair coming through too over the week I've used it. Great results and I have the urge to use it daily which I am fighting!
The Men's Health caps from Asda look pretty good. Does it have Magnesium? It refers to manganese but not sure this is the same.
One thing I've started to do is to open up a saw palmetto capsule and mix the powder with my normal hair gel. It inevitably dries on the scalp (dht blocker???) but more importantly it gives the hair a thicker appearance. Nice!
I need to find a new shampoo when the Nisim runs out as I can't really sustain the cost. May try your recommendation.
Re finasteride, day 5 and so far so good. No sides at all.
From what I have read, Saw Palmetto is less potent finasteride anyway and a lot of people experience exactly the same sides. You may want to bear that in mind. Taking the Saw Palmetto may have help me with the finasteride and getting my body adjusted to it.
