Nitric Oxide and Minoxidil Are Both Vasodilators

If Nitric Oxide the supplement is a vasodilator, and so is Minoxidil, does that mean that taking the NO supplement would have the same effects? You answered a question and said NO would not haev any effect on hair loss. How is this contradiction explained?

If there is a vasodilator effect of nitric oxide, it has nothing to do with the impact on the hair growth cycle that I know of. Minoxidil works such that it probably impacts the growth cycle of the hair follicle, prolonging the anagen phase. Nitric oxide has not been studied for hair loss and we do not know what it does to the hair cycle.
