I stand corrected.
Nizoral does have anti-androgen effect.
I am a great believer in FDA. FDA only allows a claim if it is proved by clinical studies on 1000-2000 people (small studies may be misleading). Nutritional supplements or cosmetics don't have to prove ANYTHING.
The manufacturer (with 2%, available in Europe) does not claim it to grow hair. The reason most likely is that when used alone, 2% Nizoral does not significantly increase hair growth.
But it may do that job when used in combination with Proscar (additive effect).
Keep in mind that theory doesn't always work in practice. Almost every week you hear about a new miracle drug in the pipelines and you never hear about it again.
I am already taking Proscar so I plan to use Nizoral 2%. Thanks for the info.
I am staying away from Dueterestride because I am concerned that it may also block androgen receptors in the muscle cells. Proscar is selective for scalp, prostate and liver androgen receptors (type I). We yet don't know what type of androgen receptor muscle cells have. I could only find one ongoing study that would be available in about a year.
Biggest bomb was Rogain. Minoxidil orally (probably most powerful high blood pressure medicine) grows hair like crazy all over the body. Most woman can't take it because of facial hair. But when it was used topically, it had only modest effect, and only on top part of head (vertex), and not on the receding hairlines.
By the way, the only claim with Propecia is vertex hair growth. Proscar may be more effective (it is 5 mg vs 1 mg).
My suggestion:
Take Proscar 5 mg in the morning (there is a spike in testosterone secretion in the morning; probably sex would also be better in the morning).
Use Rogain 5% in the morning and in the evening.
Nizoral 2% twice a week.
(This way you can also have a job).
I don't say anything unless I am reasonably certain about it. You called my logic wrong.
By the way, this is my 4th post.
