5 / 5 resultscommunity 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001) Pt 2
Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Is this true? It can be a major breakthrough
Deoxyribose sugar gel may stimulate hair regrowth similarly to minoxidil by enhancing blood supply and follicle activity. Human trials are necessary, and current products have mixed results.
community Fin, min, stevia and the journey
The user applied minoxidil and finasteride topically for hair regrowth, experiencing significant results but stopped finasteride due to side effects. They later added stevia to minoxidil, noticing potential improvement in hair density, particularly at the front.
community Minoxidil asking advice as an 23F
A 23-year-old woman is considering starting minoxidil for hair thinning but is concerned about its long-term use and effectiveness. Recommendations include consulting a doctor, checking ferritin levels, and considering treatments like spironolactone or finasteride, while minoxidil is suggested for regrowth but not as a primary treatment.
community The unspoken rule it seems, All hail the Fin
The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling. Users share experiences and opinions on the effectiveness and side effects of these treatments.
