| It will get here quicker from amazon |
Buy it at Costco. |
Lots of fake products on Amazon in the vitamin and cosmetic categories |
| Carrot juice from boathouse farms every single day - small amount. Takes 3 months to work. |
Here’s an idea: how about an appointment with a dermatologist? Likely they will order blood work and if that is normal, suggest daily Rogaine and possibly prescribe Spironolactone. There are no magic supplements or juices that will restore your hair. Sorry. Buy a topper, get creative with layers and headbands. |
Is this safe to take? How many tablets do you take - one daily? |
$88/month? It's expensive to keep my hair. |
If you subscribe it is only $79/mo through their website. And it helps w/peri menopause symptoms. Completely nixed the monthly rage I had going on. It is lovely to once again have thick hair and no rage. Too bad it does nothing for wrinkles... |
+100. How old are you and do you know the cause? I’m 33 and 5% rogaine has been a godsend. It’s the only thing that helped me regrow hair instead of just improving existing hair health. I also take an iron supplement which may or may not actually help. |
Just reread your post which answers both questions. My bad. I just got really overexcited about sharing my experience with rogaine. I highly recommend it. |
| Minoxidil. I know Costco sold it at one time. I’m in the same position and will be looking for this. I used a form of Minoxidil in a lower dose geared for women that was made by Kerastase and it worked great. |
+1. Minoxidil is the active ingredient in rogaine. I use the generic version they sell at target at 5% strength “for men”. |
costco website for Minoxidil says it's for men. Is it because it impacts your hormones? |
Often men’s formulations (rogaine, generic, and other brands like ‘Hers’) have a higher percent of minoxidil (5%) vs women’s (2.5%). Women’s “extra strength” formulas usually have the same amount as men’s. The weaker concentration is supposed to work fine for women but men need a higher strength for it to be effective. From what I understand, it increases blood circulation to your scalp, it should not effect your hormones. I use 5% with no issues. |
If you don’t have any vitamin deficiencies that are directly causing it, rogaine is the answer. |
