Prevagen - are there any links to hair loss?

September 27, 2017
Asked By:CitizenKane in Amherst, NH

I'm wondering whether anyone has any insight on whether there is any alleged link between Prevagen and hair loss or hair thinning? Prevagen is an over the counter supplement claimed to improve memory and other brain functions. I just had another procedure (FUE) and in the process I suffered some dreaded "shock loss" and I started wondering - maybe the Prevagen I've been taking lately is making it worse? I can't find anything on line about any link - thoughts? Science? Thank you as always!
