Product Review- Heradone
I haven’t tried Heradone myself, but most people who have tried it said it worked for them with some noticeable difference after four months. They followed the instructions, and there was a reverse in their hair loss.
Its ingredients are known to fight hair fall, with a few more additions. Saw Palmetto blocks DHT by blocking 5-alpha-reductase, so that allows your new hair to grow healthier. It also contains kelp, one of the minerals needed to maintain healthier hair, as well as Iron, iodine, sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium. The additional ingredients are Vitamins A, B1, B2, E, C, and D. The Valerian root factor in it not only help induce hair growth, but also treats insomnia and reduces stress.
The negative factor of this product is that it causes you to feel tired in the late afternoons because of the Saw Palmetto. The price is higher than others, so that might turn some people off.

I truly believe that hair regrowth topicals, even though most are dismissed as snake oils, are actually designed and put on the market with the best intentions - even though the claims are usually over optimistic.
I would say this is one of the exceptions. This product, no longer available, was sold by Selmedica. Selmedica was a notorious internet-marketer of various supplements - all of which had dubious value and were vastly overpriced. The owner of the company was recently arrested for: impersonating a doctor; fraud and various other infractions. He is now facing serious jail time. The company had a long history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau and was constantly at odds with the FDA and other agencies.
This product contained mostly vitamins that are easily obtained by diet and readily available in any common mult-vitamin supplement at a fraction of the cost. Vitamins alone have no significant value in hair regrowth.
The product also contained several herbs with no value for hair regrowth, except possibly saw palmetto. The addition of valerian root serves no purpose for halting hair-loss or encouraging hair regrowth in anyway. There is no point for it being included, except to possibly make the list of ingredient look longer and appear more impressive to unwitting consumers.
I would like to make one correction to the review. The reviewer states the product may make you feel tired due to the saw palmetto. This is false. Although saw palmetto, in certain individuals, has a very mild sedative effect, the reason for any tiredness associated with this product is certainly due to the valerian root which is a strong sedative.
Bottom line: If you find this product still for sale on the internet somewhere, do yourself a favor and avoid it.
