Brief Answer:
MINTOP, Protein supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I am medical doctor, an associate in Department of Dermatology, working with an experienced Trichologist. I answer on his behalf.

Hair fall at your age could be due to nutritional deficiency and accumulation of testosterone in the hair follicle.

Do apply MINOXIDIL 5% (MINTOP) solution to the scalp every day after bath. This will improve the blood circulation to the hair follicle and improve the hair growth.

Also do take protein supplements like ENSURE which will impart the essential proteins needed for hair regrowth.

Brief Answer:
Protein powders are best

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Proteins in the form of powders are easy for absorption. They are better absorbed when taken mixed with the milk. Protein in tablets or capsules do not serve the purpose.

Since these days packet milk is not good that's why I am afraid in mixing.
It would be good if you can suggest some protein tablets.
