What Alternative To Propecia For Hair Loss?

January 8, 2010 · Posted in hair treatment · Comment 

In searching for a viable alternative to Propecia, clinical trial results need to be compared in view of the impressive percentages recorded from Propecia’s trials before FDA approval in 1998.

Around 83% of the more than 1,500 men who took part in the trials experienced positive results with Propecia, either keeping the hair they had or seeing increased density. Is there an alternative to Propecia which can match this?

Yes, in the form of NewHair Biofactors from Nisim International. NewHair Biofactors is a natural herbal product which includes a deep cleansing shampoo and a growth generating extract.

Nisim International is a small company which operates from the Toronto area in Canada. It does not have the huge financial resources of Merck & Co, the makers of Propecia, and it has not put NewHair Biofactors through the lengthy and costly procedure necessary for FDA approval.

However, this alternative to Propecia has been on the market since 1993, (Propecia came out in 1998), and clinical trial results were published shortly after in the Medical Post Vol.29 pp61. of August 24, 1993. Copy and paste this link into your browser for the text of the article:

The results indicated that 85.7% of the 148 men involved in the test had an increase in the number of hairs, ranging from significant to moderate.

Here are a number of advantages to consider when weighing up the viability of NewHair Biofactors as an alternative to Propecia:

  1. Propecia is a prescription only drug which needs to be taken orally each day while NewHair Biofactors is a non-prescription herbal solution which needs to be applied directly to the scalp each day.
  2. Propecia can only be used by men and it is specifically for hair loss on the crown of the head and the mid-scalp area. NewHair Biofactors can be used by men and women and it is effective for hair loss on all areas of the scalp.
  3. Propecia needs to be taken indefinitely to maintain hair growth and the long term side effects are not known. Short term side effects can include sexual dysfunction in a small number of users. NewHair Biofactors as an alternative to Propecia does not have any side effects and long term use to keep the hair and scalp in healthy condition is not a problem.
  4. Propecia uses the drug Finasteride in 1mg daily doses to prevent the male hormone testosterone from changing to DHT, the main culprit in hair loss. NewHair Biofactors uses natural herbal ingredients to neutralize DHT on the scalp and in the hair follicle.
  5. Propecia can be obtained from online pharmacies or through your local medical practitioner after a number of questions have been satisfied. If after 2 to 3 months no effect is seen, some suggest discontinuing the drug. The money spent is gone. NewHair Biofactors carries an unconditional, no questions asked, indefinite full money back guarantee.
  6. A year’s supply of Propecia can cost hundreds of dollars. NewHair Biofactors is available for at least half the cost.

As with any medication, the results seen will depend on the individual. No two people are alike and everyone reacts differently to medications and herbal solutions. So if you have been considering Propecia but found the long commitment and possible side effects a cause of anxiety, you may wish to consider NewHair Biofactors as a viable alternative to Propecia.

Use it for some months and if for any reason you are not satisfied, take advantage of the guarantee!

Rogaine Review

November 30, 2009 · Posted in baldness · Comment 

Numerous studies showed topical Rogaine’s ability to slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. Today, Rogaine is one of two medications which have FDA approval for treatment of androgenic hair loss (the other one is Propecia). Will Rogaine work for you? Should you use it? Before deciding, read what is good and what is bad with Rogaine.

What is good with Rogaine?

It is proven, not bogus: There are many scientific studies about Rogaine. Most of them show that Rogaine is good for hair regrowth. Sometimes, the results are so impressive. Thus, FDA approved its usage for hair loss. Most of the other medicines and methods out there have no such a proof showing their efficacy. If you believe science, it is logical to choose a legitimate medicine, instead of unproven ones which many of them are just bogus.

No gender difference: Rogaine is used for both men (2% or 5%) and women (2% only). Other FDA-approved medicine Propecia is not approved for use by women.

Availability: Rogaine is available without a prescription.

Usage method: Rogaine is directly applied to the scalp. You do not have to take it orally. Thus, its systemic side-effects (to whole body) are minimum to none. So, men are relieved to know that it works without altering male hormones.

What is bad with Rogaine?

No guarantee: Rogaine’s manufacturer clearly states Rogaine does not work for everyone and individual results will vary. A clinical test showed about 55% of the men who used Rogaine obtained some improvement. That means that 45% of the users will not see satisfactory improvement.

Not good for forehead: Rogaine stimultes hair regrowth at the top of the body, not at the forehead. Your hair loss affects primarily forehead, Rogaine is not good for you.

Delayed effect: Seeing some hair improvement, may take time. You need to apply Rogaine 3 or 4 months to see it starts to work. So, just knowing Rogaine is not good for you may cost you wasted money and time.

Continuous treatment: Those who see some improvement then need to maintain the medication to avoid losing any hair gained. Its maximum allowed duration of usage is not known.
