Revivogen, Proxiphen, Tricomin, spironolactone Cream all go in my semi-snakeoil category. They won't save your hair, you won't find a single post by anyone who has done so using one of these treatments alone.
Every time Revivogen is discussed on here, inevitably, someone claims "There hasn't been one poster on here who ever had success with revivogen."
Not true.
I've maintained for the past 6 years using Revivogen and minoxidil.
jh said:Admin on this site maintained for a while using revivogen and spironolactone. This site even conducted a 6 month survey of revivogen users and found about 80% of users thought it worked.
Great but that is still not remotely convincing.jh said:Back in the old days, when posters seemed genuinely interested in helping one another, Michael Barry tested revivogen among other substances on his wrist hair. He posted, if I'm not mistaken, that it was responsible for the greatest reduction in body hair of anything tested. (This is a good thing with respect to it slowing/stopping hairloss, by the way).

They may increase the quality of your remaining hair, and your health (though to what degree is impossible to quantify, a statement like 'a very positive effect on your overall health' is meaningless).
MJUK said:Inflammation is considered to be a key part in male pattern baldness and is the cause of the 'itch' we have.
That has not been proven, so please don't state it like a fact.
I think it has been widely reported that inflammation is a key component. See the Nizoral studies.
MJUK said:As I said, I have been using them and would take them even without male pattern baldness. I wouldn't use them instead of the big three but alongside. It has been about 4 months since I started and my hair is really good. I was diffused thinning but it seems to have thickened up all over.
hairhoper said:Do you have a picture thread? Certainly that's exceptional from my internet trawl if true.
hairhoper said:I remember looking into that survey and was not the slightest bit convinced. If I remember rightly very few people responded to the survey and Hairlosstalk clearly had a massive conflict of interest due to the fact they sell the stuff.
