There’s so much confusing information out there, what are the legitimate options for hair growth? Are there any?
There are some, yes, but as mentioned previously, it’s easier to prevent hair loss than it is to re-grow hair if you’re already bald or balding. That said – there are certainly options to look into. Both Finasteride and minoxidil have proven to at least offer some re-growth (mainly on the crown or back of the head, neither product has been medically proven to offer much help around the front or temple regions). Other available products are marketed as inhibiting or blocking DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a by-product of Testosterone, and thereby counter-acting baldness and promoting hair growth. These products, such as Procerin, Avacor, Revivogen, Crinagen or Provillus, tend to consist of different combinations of herbs, vitamins and minerals; companies producing these products generally can not offer scientific proof that they stimulate hair growth. There are users that swear those products have helped, so you can certainly evaluate them — but please proceed with caution. Finall
