Supplements For Thinning Hair

I've been in denial about my receding hair line for a couple years now. I probably lost 10-15% of it so far. My family and my barber doesn't seem to notice it when I point it out to them (yet). I would try Minoxidil (Rogaine) as a last resort, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that kind of commitment. Are there any vitamins or supplements to help strengthen hair growth and keep from furthering hair loss?

 

Do you other male family members have balding?

 

you can try changing your diet and adding a biotin supplement.

 

2 uncles and 1 cousin. My 2 grandfathers had distinctly less hair by their mid 70s. My father still has a full head of hair though as do the rest of the men.

 

What is it they say? I think male pattern baldness comes through your mother's family.

 

It's possible. Her side of the family mostly consists of women though so it's tough to tell. Her dad and brother lost their hair. I have 3 male cousins from her side who still have their hair last time I checked (haven't looked closely though)

 

Like Rollin', I've always heard that Biotin was good for growing hair.

 

It appears he has skipped my contribution and will continue to thin until he is at a norwood 4. Then maybe he will try it.

 

I didn't skip the contribution, I wasn't sure if it commanded a response. lol. What biotin supplement do you suggest?

There Are Some Doctors Here That Will Not Prescribe It.

My Pharmacist Tells Me There Are Men As Young As 20 Using It.

It First Was Developed In 1979 To Treat Prostitis And They Discovered A Side Effect Was To

Reverse Male Pattern Baldness.

Thanks Glen I'll look into it. Not sure if I'm ready for prescription strength stuff quite yet.
