Is Minsaw good?

migmontest · Mar 16, 2011

Hi,

I am intending to use Rogain (I bought 2 x 3 month ones), and then I read that apparently Minsaw is a good alternative.

Has anyone here used Minsaw, if so, would you recommend it?

Where can Minsaw be obtained from?

cheers,

It's a combination of 3% minoxidil, 3% saw palmetto and 0.025% retinolic acid.

I'd rather take 5% minoxidil myself and would probably steer clear of anything containing saw palmetto.

Thanks Hairhoper, is there a reason why I should stay away of saw palmetto?. I checked on the wikipedia and there seems to be nothing (at least first impression) wrong against it.

Just that it's an antiandrogen which is not tested and approved for hair loss. It potentially has all the side-effects of Finasteride with none of the benefits.

Do a quick search for saw palmetto in the side-effects forum.
