Good morning,
While surfing through publications related to hair loss I came across this research document: Hair regrowth treatment efficacy and resistance in androgenetic alopecia: A systematic review and continuous Bayesian network meta-analysis
This document compares the efficacy of the following products at 24 weeks: ALRV5XR, Dutasteride 0.5 mg/day, Finasteride 1 mg/day, low-level laser comb treatment (LLLT), Minoxidil 2% and 5%, Nutrafol, and Viviscal. The following image summarizes the results:
We can see as it is indicated in the conclusion of the paper that it is the ALRV5XR which would bring the most benefits.
So I looked at the research paper of this product and the results are very interesting and it turns out that the products are all natural:
Safety and efficacy of ALRV5XR in men with androgenetic alopecia: A randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial
All of this is sold in the site : replenology.com
In the research paper, they state that people used for 24 weeks: One capsule (842 mg) twice daily, shampoo (3–7 ml), conditioner (3–7 ml), and topical lotion ( 1ml).
The combo is expensive ($125 / month with a 3-month subscription - $145 without subscription).
However, on their site they specify that the shampoo and conditioner are optional and that the results will be identical with just the use of the capsules and the topical lotion (but slower). Personally, I already use two shampoos alternately (DHT-Striker and Anaphase+). It still costs $100 per month.
However, for the capsules, I think with the list of ingredients one can ask a pharmacy to prepare them. If I need a prescription I will ask my dermatologist. I asked for a quote from the pharmacy to find out if they can make them.
For the lotion, I ordered one. With luck there will be the percentages indicated and a pharmacy will be able to prepare it at a lower cost, and especially without the shipping costs...
Of course, I'm a bit dubious when it comes to natural products, but hey... I tell myself that in addition to the usual minox / fina type treatments, it could be interesting to add this as a supplement. Me following topical spironoclatone + minoxidil that I take in the morning + zinc 10mg, I will add this natural lotion and the supplements (which contain zinc with the other things known to fight against hair loss like vitamin D, biotin, pyridoxine , selenium, Pantothenic, ...).
Anyone know otherwise?
