Beta Sitosterol — Eight Months In
On the Beta Sitosterol front, I have just started my third jar of the stuff. That means I’ve been popping the pills for over 8 months. I’ve just taken snap shots of my noggin (that’s UK slang for head). The before and after pictures are hard to compare in detail, so it’s tricky to tell exactly what has happened. Not to mention my before shots are kind of crappy.
Sadly no massive regrowth on my thinning crown. However, it does seem that hair loss has halted. I’m no worse or better than before, which isn’t bad thing. Whether this is down to the Beta Sis or just coincidence I have no idea. It’s taken WidowsPeak three years to see good all round growth, so I’ll probably stick out for another year or so, whilst monitoring progress. I’ve treated myself to a snazzy new camera, so in future I may well post pics to the site, if they’re worth seeing.
Just a quick note… this year I’ve decided to make it a solid goal to REGROW hair (without using drugs). I already have a plan of attack for the forthcoming months with various diet changes and techniques. I’m also going to be trying a very exciting new topical treatment that I hold great hopes for.
Keep ‘em peeled, there’s going to be an avalanche of new articles.

Hi
Forgot to say, also using Nutrifolica shampoo after reading your section on how SLS kills follicals. The shampoo cleans hair well but leaves it very dry, so I also use Jojoba oil afterwards as a conditioner (Nutrifolica sella conditioner, but at £8 a bottle they must be ruddy joking!!!). Don’t know if the shampoo helps hair to regrow as it claims, but it doesn’t seem to be stopping it, and as I work closely with clients all day (training) it is important that I don’t smell like a hobo! LOL!

ive noticed within the first week of using Beta Sitosterol my hair loss has actually increased slightly but my right temple is thickening however my left temple has not improved much. so does Beta Sitosterol actually initially cause hair loss but then improves?

Hi guys just a word of warning. In 2005 I decided to try a product called Noukrin. Big mistake, after three months I suffered from severe Telegum Effegen. which was diagnosed by a Trichologist and a dermatologist. The product contains a protein called Immunoglobulin G. My doctor phoned the company , and they were rude and had no idea whatsoever about hairloss. It continued to shed and made my life a living hell. How can so called celebrities advertise this product and if you endorse something, that means one has to at least try or take it. Cheryl Baker, Pat Cash, Lee Sharp,Bitt Ekcland and now Jennie Bond. They make claima that it can even reverse Alopecia Totalis. Please Do not touch this product. it cost me my money and my hair. I was loosing over 600 hairs a day. I have also read on the internet that others have suffered too. My hair has grown back but its taken over 4 and a half years of sheer misery. I also developed folliculitus because of it and I cannot tell you how painful it has been. Burning of the scalp, itching not being to tolerate heat and cold. Thankfully my deratologist prescribed me fluconazole but even now I still get pain. Im currently taking a multi vitamin , beta sisterol and msm and am very pleased to say that it is working for me. I hope I have helped in some way to those who are suffering the same as I did. Be carefull. Noukrin and Viviscal are the same products my tricologist told me. If you are taking it please be careful. if you would like to e mail me please feel free to do so. Cheers Rob p m. my e mail is rob.morse@virginmedia.com .

Hi Ken. How are you my friend? Yes, what im doing now is taking Solgar Saw palmetto Three times a day, 400mg of beta and 1000mg of MSM with B comlex and a multi vitamin. I loose around ten max now which Im really happy with. My hairline is much stronger and I have hair growing in the temples. Ive just turned 44 on June the 13th of this year. What I do advise is to wash your hair and scalp every day , just once a day is enough. I use the Body shops Peppermint shampoo. also known as Ice Blue Shampoo. it is very refreshing and invigorating. Ive tried Nizoral and its ok but very drying , so I only use it once a month. Beta can lower your libido alot. so I have experienced less erections . low sex drive but I have noticed it does wear off after the first month. I hope I have helped in some way to answer your question. Ask me anytime. The main thing is to make sure you take a b complex, its been proven that a lack of b6 in men can and will cause mpb to increase. On the other hand Ive noticed by taking a B Complex my hair loss has significantly decreased and I am at least touch wood. keeping what I have and growing hair around the temples . Rob. p.m
