Products for hair loss have come a long way in the past decade or so. Chemicals like minoxidil and finasteride have been proven to regrow hair and are now widely available. If you're wondering what to take for your hair to grow, here's a quick look at two popular, but very different, products: Propecia and Provillus.
Propecia--You need a prescription to order Propecia, which contains the chemical finasteride. In a 5-year study of men with mild to moderate hair loss, 48% of those treated with Propecia experienced some regrowth of hair, and a further 42% had no further loss.
Propecia is strictly for men. According to the Propecia website: "Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use Propecia and should not handle crushed or broken Propecia tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs."
There are also unfortunate side effects associated with Propecia. A percentage of men have suffered from erectile dysfunction, impotence, and depression. Many of these men claim the sexual side effects are irreversible.
Provillus--If you're wondering what to take for your hair to grow, you might try Provillus. No prescription is required. The active ingredient in Provillus is minoxodil, which has been clinically proven to slow or stop hair loss and promote hair growth. Minoxidil is safe for women. In fact, Provillus sells a women's version of their product which is also very popular.
Minoxidil has no sexual side effects and is perfectly safe to use. The only side effects are itchy scalp and dandruff. Provillus contains moisturizers to counteract the dryness. In addition to the topical solution (which contains the minoxdili), Provillus comes with a dietary supplement full of vitamins, minerals, and herbs that encourage healthy hair growth.
The cost of Provillus works out to a little over a $1 a day. I think most men who suffer from male pattern baldness would gladly pay that to have some hair back. Provillus is safe, effective, and offers value. If you're wondering what to take for your hair to grow, I'd recommend Provillus over Propecia.
