I posted a message about hair loss last millenium (actually in 1999). As raw food couldn't stop male pattern baldness, following Spencer Kobren's book "The Bald Truth", I have been taking for 6 to 9 months: - zinc picolinate: 1 tablet/day (this represents 22 mg of zinc) - saw palmetto extract (80-90% total fatty acids): one (160 mg) capsule/day - Pygeum Africanum (bark extract, 13% total sterols): one (50 mg) capsule/day - Fresh stinging nettle root extract (urtica dioica): ~40 drops/day - Fo-Ti (= Ho Shou Wu = polygonum multiflorum): one capsule (500 mg)/day - raw vegetable juices, extracted from a Champion juicer: 1 large cup on most days. Unfortunately, my hair hasn't grown back (I don't know if it is still falling out). I am now trying to increase dosage; if this still doesn't work, I might need Propecia :-(
