Hello,

Could someone please give me some advice !!!

I have pcos for 10 years, and one of my major symptoms is hair loss. Recently it has got so bad. When I comb / wash / sleep etc ..... theres hair every where on the floor on the bed on my clothes.......ahh !!!!! More than 10 - 15 hairs. I have got very fine hair now, 10 / 12 years ago I had fine hair but lots of it, now its come out so much, and I hate it so much and I want is my hair back. They say that a womans hair is her crown and glory, well not mine any more. I'm so imbarrased with my hair !!

Just wondering if anyone has tried the following for hair loss and have they worked ..........

Natural treatments .....

- Zinc
- Saw Palmetto Extracts
- Gamma Linoic Acid
- Green Tea
- Vitamin B6
- Polysorbate 80
- Emu Oil

Got this information from the following website www.follicle.com

Could you please tell me if any of the above items have worked for hair loss. If so, would I be able to get them from a herbalist in oils or syrups, because taken tablets make me sick. I'm currently on Metoformin, and taking three tablets a day makes me feel sick and I get diahera.

Thank You !!!

Regards
Nelly :-)

For over a year I took Evening Primrose Oil, Zinc, Vitamin B6, Saw Palmetto, drank green tea, and ate Flax Seed. I was also taking Spironolactone & BCPs.

After a year of seeing no positive changes, I went off of all the vitamins and medication except for the BCPs.
