Here are some good things about Rogaine™

• Rogaine™ uses the drug Minoxidil which has been shown to help some men and women reduce or slow down the rate of male or female pattern hair loss and to help grow some hair back.
  
  

• Rogaine™ does have the same kind of independently verified FDA-regulated, IRB research study as does HairGenesis™, proving that it does work for a small percentage of men and women.
  
  
• Rogaine™ (or its generic form of Minoxidil) is generally very inexpensive to buy.

Why HairGenesis™ is a better hairloss treatment remedy
than Propecia™, Proscar™ Rogaine™ or Minoxidil.

• Compare the Shampoo Products
  > Propecia™ (and Proscar™) do not have a Shampoo product to treat the effects of thinning hair and hairloss externally on the scalp, where research has shown that DHT is also synthesized and causes you to lose your hair.
  
  > Rogaine™ itself does not have a Shampoo product to treat the effects of thinning hair and hairloss.
  
  > The HairGenesis™ Revitalizing Shampoo is a very effective and important product for properly treating thinning hair and hair loss. It contains botanical DHT blocking ingredients, the same which are in the Topical Activator and Oral Soft Gels. While you are washing your hair and cleansing your scalp, it helps to remove accumulated DHT, sebum oil and mineral deposits from both the scalp and hair follicles. HairGenesis™ also adds DHT blockers directly into your hair follicles to help protect them from the negative affects of DHT which may accumulate inside.
  
  

• Compare the Topical Products
  > Propecia™ (and Proscar™) do not have a Topical product to treat the effects of thinning hair and hairloss externally on the scalp, where research has shown that DHT is also synthesized and causes you to lose your hair.
  
  > Rogaine™ topical lotion contains either Minoxidil 2% solution (for men or women) or 5% Minoxidil solution (for men only) and must be used everyday, twice a day. Furthermore, it must be used continuously, to really be effective long term, if at all, even for the limited success rate which Minoxidil has to begin with. Not everyone responds to Minoxidil use. Minoxidil is formulated to work only on the top crown area of the scalp - the area that doctors call the Vertex. It generally does not work effectively, or at all, on the front receding hair line area or in the back area of the scalp. Look at these Norwood hair loss diagrams to see where the Vertex area is located.
  
  > The HairGenesis™ Topical Activator should be more effective. It does not use Minoxidil or any other drugs. Instead, it too contains a strong formulation of the same botanical DHT blocking ingredients which are in the Shampoo and Soft Gel DHT Blockers including Beta Sitosterol and the most effective version of Saw Palmetto. Moreover, it works on all areas of hair loss: the front receding hair line, the top crown area as well as the back area of the scalp. It further helps protect your hair follicles internally from the harmful effects of DHT and helps stimulate them for growth.
  
  
  > There are various known potential side effects which some users of the Rogaine™ Minoxidil topical lotion may experience. People report that Minoxidil also leaves the scalp and hair oily and greasy. Additionally, women cannot use a 5% Minoxidil topical solution as it is known to cause facial hairs to grow on them.
  
  Clinical research by Rogaine™ and others has shown that if you ever stop using Minoxidil for hair loss treatment, all of the hair which you may have grown back, will fall out again, and you will look like you would have, had you never started to use the product. So you would have to use the Minoxidil product continuously to maintain any results or benefits that you may have obtained during the course of that treatment. This may be an important consideration when deciding if you should even start using a hairloss treatment remedy which relies upon Minoxidil.
  
  > The HairGenesis™ Topical Activator has no known potential harmful side effects. Moreover, the HairGenesis™ Topical Activator is more convenient to use. You only need to apply it once a day, in the evening, whereas you must for the Rogain Minoxidil topical product twice a day.
  
  
  > The actual effectiveness, long term, or proven success rate of Minoxidil, as used in Rogaine™, for treating pattern hairloss in men or women, whether Minoxidil 2% or Minoxidil 5% solution, according to the FDA, is just 26% for men and 19% for women.
  
  

• Compare the Oral Products
  > Propecia™ is an Oral product which uses 1mg of the synthetic drug Finasteride. The active ingredient in Proscar™ is 5mg of the synthetic drug Finasteride. There are two isoforms or types (Type 1 and Type 2) of the 5 alpha reductase (5AR) enzyme, which converts Testosterone into Di Hydro Testostrerone ( DHT ), the hormone proven to cause pattern hair loss in men and women.
  Finasteride has been shown to block the activity of only Type 2 of the  5AR enzyme.
  
  Propecia™ (and Proscar™) do provide various degrees of results for some men in helping them to stop or reverse the effects of thinning hair and hair loss. However, there are potential side effects, both short-term and long-term with the use of the Finasteride drug, which may be of particular importance to you. There are certain safety concerns and adverse warnings which you should be informed about before buying these products.
  
  > Rogaine™ does not have an Oral product, which would be critically important to block the metabolism or formation of DHT in the body and on the scalp.
  
  
  > The Oral Soft Gels contain strong botanical DHT blocking ingredients which block the activity of both isoforms or types (Type 1 and Type 2) of the 5 alpha reductase (5AR) enzyme, which converts Testosterone into Di Hydro Testostrerone ( DHT ), the hormone proven to cause pattern hair loss in men and women. So the HairGenesis™ Oral Soft Gels should be more effective than the Finasteride prescription tablets of Propecia™ or Proscar™.
  
  The HairGenesis™ Oral Soft Gels, contain Saw Palmetto,  Beta-Sitoserol and a powerful host of other clinically-proven botanical substances which have been shown to effectively block the formation and metabolism of DHT both in the body and on the scalp itself:
  Beta Sitosterol, Saw Palmetto Berry Extract, Macadamia Nut Oil, Borage Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Genestein, Pygeum Africanum, Green Tea Extract, Niacin, Biotin
  
  HairGenesis™ uses the highest potency of Saw Palmetto (85%-95% liposterolic content) in the highest dose (200 mg. per capsule) of any hair loss treatment product currently available.
  
  There are no known side effects of using this product.
  
  

• Compare the Research Studies
  > There are two hair loss treatment products on the market both of which are classified by the FDA as drugs, which have indepentdently proven FDA-regulated IRB research studies which support their respective claims for effectiveness and success. These two hairloss remedy products are Propecia™ and Rogaine™.
  
  
  If the use of drugs like Minoxidil or Finasteride was the most safe and effective overall treatment available today, then Dr. Marcovici of HairGenesis™ (who introduced the revolutionary idea of treating hairloss by combining the use of Minoxidil plus the botanical ingredient Saw Palmetto in 1996) would not have continued to research other alternatives and in order to find more effective botanical ingredients to treat hair loss.
  
  > The HairGenesis™ claims of safety, effectiveness and success rate are based on a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical research study that was independently conducted and verified according to FDA-regulated, IRB-standards. It seems that few companies submit their hairloss treatment products to such an independent and high-standard review and analysis, perhaps because the cost of conducting such a study is very expensive or because the actual clinical results might be shown to be much lower than the claims they are making.
  
  HairGenesis™ is therefore a proven and reliable botanical alternative to the hairloss treatment drugs Rogaine™ (and other Minoxidil-based products, such as Avacore, Hair Advantage™ and Follicare^®) and Propecia™ and Proscar™.
  
  
  Hair Genesis™ is the only Non-Drug (naturally-derived from herbal and botanical sources) hair growth hair loss treatment product with DHT Blockers supported by an independent and published FDA-Regulated, IRB-Monitored research study. HairGenesis™ is genuinely clinically-proven to be safe and effective for both men and women to help stop hair from thinning, hair loss and help regrow hair naturally.
  
  
  > The HairGenesis™ research study and data have been accepted for publication in a prestigious Peer-Reviewed scientific or medical journal (click to read: www.pubmed.com) and is available to the public for reading.

• Compare the Overall Product Prices
  > Prices for Propecia™ may vary significantly and the average monthly cost may depend on how much of a supply you order. However, in general, it costs around $400 to $600 for each one year prescription. If you buy only a 3-month or 6-month supply, then your overall cost for a one year supply may be significantly more.
  
  > Rogaine™, whether a 2% Minoxidil solution or the 5% Minoxidil extra strength solution, is a hair loss treatment remedy based on science and knowledge of thinning hair and hair loss that existed from around 1988 to 1993. Since then, however, more advanced research and development has shown that the use of other ingredients, such as botanical substances, has tremendous advantages for both safety and effectiveness for helping more males and females stop and reverse the effects of thinning hair and pattern hair loss.
  
  If you are determined to use Minoxidil in treating your pattern hair loss, you might save a lot of money by purchasing generic Minoxidil topical solution at the local pharmacy and perhaps also getting a bottle of Saw Palmetto at the health food store.
  
  > HairGenesis™, based on naturally-derived botanical formulas, costs significantly less than both Propecia™ and Rogaine™, as shown in the price comparisons above.
