Regular Member Alexsmith1220 Posted January 4, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted January 4, 2011 Im very scared to run Propecia, or Dutast due to the sexual impotence effects it can have on people (With my luck id probably be part of the 2.5% of men who get it) So whats the deal about Azelic Acid?

Senior Member Taken4Granted Posted January 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 7, 2011 It has imaginary potential. I can't say that, statistically speaking, it wouldn't show some effect over a large enough population sample, but the same can be said for anything. Take any substance, apply it to the hair of a test population. I'd put every dime on the fact that, compared to a control group, a chi-square test would show some influence, positive or negative, on the test group. This has been done with things like green tea extract, caffeine, copper peptides, aloe, saw palmetto, emu oil, azelaic acid, etc. That doesn't make them effective treatments. I would go more with the anecdotal evidence from trusted sources, but I have seen nothing out there to make me waste my money on any of the above. I recommend you start .5mg finasteride. This will definitely benefit your hair and you may be lucky enough not to experience sides too badly. Propecia is hands down the best thing you can do for your hair. Just be aware of the sides and know that, if you can't hack it, you can always reduce the dose or stop taking it. It's best to experiment like this in the beginning so you don't end up in my situation, wanting to reduce the dose of a drug your hair is heavily dependent on.
