l-arginine, cayenne pepper(lal mirch), soy isoflavones, Omega3 and 9 fatty acids tabs. Biotin is crap. The only thing it does is just it makes the hair grow faster and thats it.

Here is a study on Cayenne and soy to back up my claimhttp://www.hairloss-research.org/UpdateIGF10-11.html

Have taken a lot of supplements and none worked. I took them for a substantial period of time and it worked wonders by burning my dads pocket. The best pill is definitely Finasteride. If you're not on it already then better consider it as it's much much cheaper than any other supplement in India :)

Ill stick to two of my recommendaton. Sorry for l arginine.
Soy isoflavone and cayenne pepper.

Those two are NOT supplements with no proper studies. I have posted them and try to read it if you can.

The function of soy and cayenne(capsaicin actually) is to increase IGF-1 at the dermal pappilae.
Just so you know higher levels of IGF-1at the dermal pappilae levels co relate with the thereaputic efficiency of finasteride.
Although i doubt you would get soy supplements in India.

Their was also one study where they compared the efficiency of capsaicin(cayenne pepper) as a topical with minoxidil and both were evenly matched.
And no i have no form of experience with soy and some experince with cayenne but i won't take em coz i fart fire.
