I've been using Minoxidill for almost 2 years and just over a 1 year now I've been using it in conjunction with the Hairguard Pro Package was well as the HairGuard Caffeine shampoo, growband, the derma roller and also 160 mg saw palmetto extract daily on top of it all. I have to admit I do have a fairly stressful life (now who said life ISN'T stressful?), but regardless I've kept every product direction up to speed regularly and I've seen no real improvement. Just the last month or so I've seen more hairfall then probably ever before, which MAY just be shedding but I kinda doubt it. I've experienced some noticeable form of mental circulation improvement from each and every product I mentioned so I know they all do something good but just not enough to actually regrow hair. Maybe stabilize somewhat but that's it. I did double dose on saw palmetto for a while and that seemed to really bother my hormones (mood swings/depression at times/some form of suicidal thoughts/feeling out of this world all of a sudden) but I could just feel hair starting to grow from that so DHT blockers are the purest bet to regrow hair in my opinion, but in addition with the nausea side effect in my case with saw palmetto I couldn't continue using it. If you don't care about your psychological well-being IMO the only way to regrow hair is strong DHT blockers, either high dosage of saw palmetto or of course the pretty much iron clad guaranteed hair regrowth product, finasteride (I've never dared taking it but even half dosage is relatively adequate according to those Austrailian doctors in return slightly less side effects). Using finasteride has really gotten close to me lately but I'm only 24 and have been slowly growing bald since age 17 so I've got a life ahead of me yet and being the conservative kind I believe in Christian families and the potential sexual side effects as well as psychological side effects I just can't get myself to get into it. If I were 40 or 50+ years I'd take a shot at it in a heart beat regardless of some side effects that might come with it. Clearly there's many people that use finasteride perfectly fine. I have friends that use it but they've always got problems growing their families in a natural way. I'm starting to take vasodilators now see if that's gonna make a difference in regrowth (browse natural vasodilators to find a good list of them) . In addition to products I've mentioned I'm also taking Taurine, omega 3, occasional antioxidants like turmeric and vitamin c etc. Drinking lots of water. This is my absolute honest review of my experience thus far, and as far as hairguard customer service goes I can't complain as they're always ready to respond quickly and informatively. Thanks for reading and I hope this can help you in any way shape or form.
