What is the cause of hair loss?
Hair loss is caused by the hormone DHT (DiHydroTestosterone). A by-product of testosterone. DHT damages the hair follicles so that after a while they lose the ability to produce thick and long hair.What can you do about hair loss?
There is one option for treating hair loss: finasteride. Finasteride is a medicine that comes in 1 mg tablets and is taken by mouth. It stops hair loss in more than 80% of men and is available through the website.I thought minoxidil also works against hair loss?
True, but this is not entirely correct. Unlike finasteride, minoxidil does not stop hair loss. Minoxidil causes an increase in hair density because it improves the blood supply to the hair follicle. In the best case, it temporarily stops hair loss for up to 2 years, but after that the hair loss process simply continues. Minoxidil is recommended as a treatment for thin hair or as an addition to a treatment with finasteride. Not as a replacement for finasteride.Do vitamins work against hair loss?
No, taking vitamins to stop hair loss is pointless. The anti-hair loss claims made for vitamin supplements are nothing more than marketing. Intended to boost sales of such products. They are not effective!If vitamins are not effective, why are they sold so much?
That's because the only thing that stops hair loss (finasteride) is a drug. People associate a medicine with getting 'side effects' and see a vitamin supplement as a 'safe alternative'. It's just not, because it doesn't work.Do shampoos work against hair loss?
No, products like DHT blocking shampoo and caffeine shampoo do not work! The manufacturers of these products make all sorts of promises, but the claims cannot be backed up by scientific research. In other words, the claims are nonsense.Why should we believe the claims made by MenScript?
We don't have to. Each product page contains a bibliography in which we refer to the scientific studies we have used. We encourage you to read these studies.
