I see that Provillus’s press release states that they are FDA approved. What is this about?
New “Miracle Cure” Hair Loss Treatment Announces FDA Approval
From HairLossWatch.com, which sells Provillus –
“The Food & Drug Administration does not have an approval process for any nutritional supplements, only prescription medications. All of Provillus’s ingredients voluntarily comply with the FDA’s GRAS safety requirements.”
In short, it contains FDA approved ingredients, but I don’t believe Provillus itself is FDA approved and I can’t find any info on the FDA site about this. The pictures and the claims for Provillus are over the top. I remain skeptical with such claims.
Remember, minoxidil is approved… finasteride is approved. Those are your FDA approved and proven drug treatment options for hair loss. If Provillus has any proven hair regrowth treatment in it, I’d assume like ScalpMed, it contained minoxidil.

About Provillus, (BE WARNED) “DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEIR MONEY BACK GUARANTEE”. After glowing reviews about Provillus i figured that i would give it a try. When ordering i chose the buy 4 months and get 2 free, i figured that you would need to give any product 6 months of use to be able to determine weather it works or not.
After 20 days of use my scalp had become very irritated, i followed directions precisely as prescribed. I had also had no appetite from the Provillus capsules i was taking as well, i figured that Provillus was not for me.
MAKE SURE YOU READ THEIR RETURN POLICY VERY WELL!!!
Yes they do give you a thirty day(30) money back guarantee! However they sneak in the restocking fee of $10.00 per bottle, yes $10.00 PER BOTTLE.
My order came too 205.00 for the six month(6) supply, so this includes 12 bottles, {12 bottles x 10 = $120.00}, so in essence, it just cost me $120.00 to try a product for 20 days!!! So return the product and get back $85.00 what a scam!!!
THEY GIVE YOU A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT LOSE!!!
FOLKS it may work, but he wants to do business with a company like this? I sent both of their products to a Lab to be tested for the ingredients, JUST BUY PLAIN OLD MINOXIDIL 5% AND SOME SAW PALMETTO AND SAVE YOUR SELF A FORTUNE!
