      MMM:
      Hi,


      I actually get pilfood from my GP at 81 family clinic. It is at Blk 81 Marine Parade. I just bought the shampoo from unity yesterday at $19... Think the clinic is still cheaper. I will check the next time I visit the clinic.

      I only took pilfood for a month and used the shampoo for a longer period and it works in my case.

      My GP used to tell me that his wife didn't believe him and went to some expensive hair loss program... in the end after spending 10k, there is no result....
      Hi MMM,

        me too! I’ve lost a lot of hair and still losing even though my boy is already 17 mths old now. my hair is like only 25% of what i used to have. i even drop the baby hair! My hair is so little that all the hairstylists i went to told me that i can’t do rebonding cos i have got so little hair.


        I went to the first clinic and GP confirmed that I have patches on my scalp. So she suggested to inject steroid on the scalp, this seems to help in the slowing of the hair loss. then after some time, maybe the effect wears off and I went to see a 2nd GP and was given minoxidil 5% to apply twice a day. just started on this.

        But glad to know about this Pilfood. I will go check it out at unity or clinic.

          No problem 😄 We are all here to share.

          Actually Jack Neo's advertisement prompted me to see a GP. I recall the line \"See your GP for your hair loss today\". So I went after suffering from post natal hair loss. Do it early. Don't leave it to chances.

            Hi MMM,

            Thanks for sharing. I will drop by the clinic to get it after CNY! (must use the minoxidil 5% first then use Pilfood. don't waste first.

            my only 'saving grace' is that i have naturally wavy hair and that helps to 'boost' up the volume of my hair. else i will need man-made hair liao!

              I started by last weekend, seem like its works..... 🙏

              Pls eat it religiously to get better results. BTW, if you are breastfeeding, it's always good to get doc's clearance though my GP told me before that it's mainly made up of vitamins,etc...

                Me too you know. Its the advert that prompt me to see the doc. and also i didn’t want to spend good money on the hairloss salon - not too confident of them… but then again, i must say not all GPs are the same. My first GP - steroid + regain

                2nd GP - minoxidil 5%
                but none recommend or prescribe me to Pilfood…

                  :thankyou: MMM


                  I started using pilfood shampoo after your sharing the info, hv been using it for the past 3 mths.
                  Now, my hair loss is under control. Didn't take the tablets, cos I hate taking pills.
                  The shampoo may costs $19 or so a bottle, but a little goes a long way....maybe becos I cut my hair real short too.
                  Now, am hoping that new hair will grow back quickly.
                  Does taking the tabs help? If so, will get some to start......
                  Many thanks....

                    In my case, I've fine hair. Some hairdresser call it the baby hair. It used to be very fine but now appeared to strengthen alittle after child birth. When I was in school, I need to use those small hair clips to tie my hair unless it will slipped off.... Recently with the monthly hair dye, I am experiencing hair loss, so I am now using pilfood shampoo on a daily basis. It does create more volume otherwise I will feel so conscious about my gray and little hair....

                      It's great that you benefit from pilfood as well. :lol: Actually my gp started with prescribing me with the pills + shampoo. I only took it for 1 month and sort of lax after seeing results. You might want to consider but if you hate pills and is happy with current result, then leave it.

                        I must wash my hair every day otherwise I will feel very conscious..... :roll:

                        But my impression is that it is fine to use it on a daily basis.
