Has anyone been taking Beta Sitosterol pills for hair loss? If so, any success?

It is touted as being similar to finasteride in its affects. I contacted a guy who bought it and he said it grew small hairs for him (until he ran out of it).

I've started taking it and seem to get the lower libido that finasteride causes for some people - so maybe it will work. Anyone?

Just don't tell me to stick to the big 3, coz then I know to go to another site (sorry, but some people can't take finasteride or minoxidil due to side effects - from what I hear, some herbals are working for some people).
