EPO

Apologies if this has already been covered, but I read somewhere that evening primrose oil (epo) is meant to promote hair growth. I'm a bit sceptical (to say the least) but, as I am also desperate and willing to try anything that might help, I wanted to ask: has anyone on here tried it and, if so, did it do any good or was it a waste of time? Thanks.

I believe it’s one of the many myths. If it worked, there would be a multitude of patient results and data.

I thought as much. On one of the other forums, I found a few people swearing by it, but, as you said, there isn't any clinical data.

Do any of the natural remedies help with reducing hair loss and promoting growth?

You may get some people who recover or maintain their loss by taking natural things like Saw Palmetto but they’ll be a very small minority.
