Hi ladies I need your input:
OK I am a bit confused and bemused. I came in on the late freight regarding the Nioxin Supplement Bandwagon. Instead of getting a chance to buy it at a reasonable price, I read about all the great results a few months after it was discontinued. That led me to a search for something comparable. I read on another forum that Nature’s Bounty HSN had the exact same ingredients in it as Nioxin. However, after I bought it I noticed that the proprietary ingredients were not included.
That then led me to research the proprietary ingredients, and I concluded that those ingredients were what created the hair growth magic in Nioxin's supplement. Initially, I was just going to buy the additional proprietary ingredients, and add them to my Nature’s Bounty HSN regime. However, simply by accident I came across a hair supplement that mirrored Nioxins. I went on YouTube to see if I could find anyone who had before & after results, and I found a few. What I did not like was the fact that the company that makes Priteva had sent them the supplements to try. I felt the reviews were too biased, and I do not trust that type of review.
I found another thread on a different hair forum, and a few women had tried Priteva and liked it over there. However, some reviews were by the same people that were on YouTube. Therefore, this is my question. Is there anyone out there who takes Priteva, and did not receive it for free? I would love to start a challenge. Look at the comparisons below. The only thing Priteva is missing is Wild Yam, but they added Rosemary, Fenugreek and Aloe. I know that Wild Yam is great for hair growth so I would add that back in. The one thing I KNOW about Fenugreek is that it can increase your breast size. Some may think that is a great addition, but I am not a fan of gaining a larger chest. Please give me your thoughts.
