further note


Name: Jamie
Question:

Alex, one further thing to mention to my previous note. To put things in context, I am probably a Norwood 2 with moderate diffuse thinning on top and around the crown.

I've been thinning since my early 30s and am now 38. When I look at photos of my hair circa 30, 31, it was quite thick and full at that time. My hairline gradually became noticably thinner around 35.

I also used Shen Min saw P supplements on and off for several years.

Hi Jaime
oral supplements are not the most effective means of fighting hair loss. Also, even if you take an all natural oral supplement you will experience side effects.
Also oral tablets do not provide the maximum benefit available unless you take lots of them. While natural supplements may not harm you, they do not provide a major benefit simply because when you take something orally, it goes thru your entire system and even natural supplements will have an adverse affect if you take the amount required to reach your hair follicle.
DHT in the scalp makes the hair fall, but DHT in the body helps to maintain hair. The ingredients of an oral tablet do not have the ability to isolate themselves and reach only the hair follicle. So you will be blocking DHT throughout your entire body instead of just the scalp where it is needed. The body absorbs the nutrients so the intended area does not receive the maximum potency. The most effective method is a topical method.
You would need a handful of oral tablets to match the amount in a topical formula because the potency levels are so low in addition to being absorbed by the body.
So in essence while small doses of natural supplements orally can't hurt, they don't help a lot either. I wouldn't recommend using oral tablet as your only means of defense/treatment again DHT.

The problem with the hair line is you need to treat within the first year you experience hair loss. If you don’t catch it within the first year it will be too late to reverse. What Revivogen will do if its been more thatn a year is prevent further hair loss. There isn’t any product that will be successful reversing hair loss in the frontal area if it has been occurring longer than a year.
