Internal vs Topical - Shedding

Question

I've started to see thinning hair on top and want to get started on propecia. However, I'm a little concerned about the systemic effects. 3 questions: 1) Does Revivogen (or any topical) act systemically on the body? I've heard Minoxidil does. 2) I've heard a lot of complaining on different posts about Propecia causing a great deal of initial shedding. Does Revivogen cause initial shedding? 3) Any real success stories/posts from people that used Revivogen? Thanks

Answer

Dear Joe, 1) Revivogen does not have any systemic side effects. The ingredients are all natural and get broken down in the blood once they enter the circulation. 2) Revivogen like Propecia is associated with some shedding. This results as resting telogen hairs are shed to be replaced by actively growing anagen hairs. 3) Please visit the Revivogen site for testimonials from Revivogen users.
