Has anyone with high prolactin taken meds to lower it and seen hair regrowth? 1/20/2026
High prolactin levels may contribute to hair loss, and some users suggest supplements like mucuna pruriens, vitamin B6, vitamin E, L-Tyrosine, L-Theanine, DIM, and Zinc to lower prolactin. Lifestyle changes to increase dopamine, such as reducing screen time and stress, are also recommended.

A new drug targeting prolactin is being discussed for hair regrowth, but skepticism remains as many still rely on minoxidil and finasteride. Concerns include the drug's effectiveness compared to existing treatments and whether it works for those already using 5AR inhibitors.
community Is anyone taking both boron and p5p to lower SHBG and Prolactin respectively? What are you experience on this?
The user is applying topical finasteride with stemoxydine for hair loss and has noticed hair thickening but no regrowth after two months. They also report high SHBG and prolactin levels and a lack of morning erections, even on low doses of medication.
community Ray Peat: Testosterone Isn’t the Culprit, Prolactin and Cortisol Drive Hair Loss (2016)
Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.
community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?
Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.
community Progress Picture / hair regrowth regimen
