Regenepure or Nizoral or something else?

[Bray]

Hey guys,

I was recommended Nizoral and Regenepure and am wondering what the differences are and which ones you all use. I am currently on Stop and Shop brand 5% menoxidil only and just got a prescription for proscar that I am going to cut up or mix with alcohol since it is cheaper that way. There is also some strange cream that they sell on this site that I was told to use (spironolactone or something). Does that work?

Is there a 'best' shampoo/conditioner regimen that you have found works? I have been experiencing hair-loss for about 7 years now (lost mostly in the temples), but have only recently begun to do anything about it.

Oh, also, where is a cheap place to get proscar or any of this other stuff that you guys trust?

Thank you all!

Yes, I would recommend those 2 shampoos. Also, remember that minoxidil does not stop your hair loss. It only stimulates new hair growth. You must use a DHT inhibitor (preferably topical). This stops hair loss at the root of the problem.

A product like this would be ideal in your case...that way you can avoid having to use Finasteride and deal with it's side effects:

I am going to be switching to the Regenepure shampoos. I'm thinking about using the NT as my normal shampoo and the DR 2 or 3 times a week.

Sound good to me...let us know how it goes.

I have very thin hair and use Regenepure DR as my hair loss shampoo.
It's a great shampoo and thickens my hair nicely. It also has Ketoconazole to possibly grow some hair. I used Nizoral for years
But it dried out my hair and I read about sulfates and dropped it.
Regenepure does not have sulfates. Great alternative to Nizoral IMO.

Revita is the better choice IMO.

Revita is the better choice IMO.

Why do you say that?

I've used both Revita and Revivogen shampoo(which is similar to Regenepure). I believe Revivogen shampoo had the better effect in slowing down my hair loss, but I believe they are both great shampoos for hair loss. I would pick Revivogen shampoo/Regenepure over Revita though.

So, should I get the NT or DR? What is the real difference? Do I need both?

Also, I thought finasteride WAS the best DHT inhibitor. Is there some other DHT inhibitor that is better?

Thanks!

I am planning on using both shampoos. The NT is more of a daily shampoo while the DR has Ketoconazole and shouldn't be used everyday (maybe 2-3 times a week).

Check out their website. They explain them both.

 

[Bray]

It doesn't seem to say what percentage of ketoconazole it is. Is it 2% like the stuff I got from Nizoral in Britain?

I already got the Nizoral. Could I use that in conjunction with the NT daily and call it good?

 

[Boomer01]

That would be a good idea.

Great advertisment IMO. May be I'm paranoid but similar posts and threads are appearing on several hair loss forums. Nizoral sulfates are mentioned everywhere. Strange, isn't it :thumbdown2:

It's not strange. SLS has been shown to have harmful effects to the protein structure of the hair. This is why you see shampoos like Regenepure, Revivogen, & even the shampoo you use (Revita) emphasize that they don't use SLS in their shampoos.

I just got my first bottle of Regenepure NT yesterday. I still have some of Dr. Lees shampoo left so I am going to wait until I finish that before I buy the Regenepure DR.

The NT is thin and runny but lathers up very nicely. That was surprising since it doesn't have sulfates. The smell is wonderful and fragrant. I left it on for a few minutes and then washed it out. I know I've only used it one time but I really like it so far.

Thanks!

Dutasteride has been proven to work better than finasteride.

It more likely to have side effects too.
