Hi Dr., I know minoxidil does not block DHT but I was wondering if minoxidil strengthens existing hair, or if it just regrows a bit of new hair. Thanks for helping out so many people with your site!
I believe that it does strengthen the hair on some people. Minoxidil is not, however, a reliable drug for either strengthening or regrowing hair in the majority of patients that take it.

Hi again Doc:
Regarding the Mega Men Vitamin question, you will find that DHEA is an ingredient of Mega Men 50 plus, a new formula for those over 50, however, the regular Mega Men vitamins do not contain any. I recently began taking the vitamins only to read your blog thus causing my research. Keep up the good work.
