Should I Get Blood Tests to Verify That DUT Is Working? And Is There an Interaction with Quercetin? 11/20/2024
The conversation discusses whether to get a blood test to check DHT levels while using Dutasteride for hair loss and concerns about Quercetin's potential interaction with Dutasteride. It concludes that testing DHT isn't necessary unless no effects are seen, and the small amount of Quercetin in a multivitamin likely doesn't interfere with treatment.

Dutasteride may have fewer side effects than finasteride, with some users experiencing better hair maintenance. Experiences vary, with some preferring dutasteride for fewer side effects, while others see no significant hair improvement.
community Copper Literally Saved My Life (and My Baldness)
Oral copper supplementation significantly improved hair regrowth for someone who experienced severe hair loss after stopping minoxidil, suggesting copper deficiency might hinder minoxidil's effectiveness. The user now only takes copper and occasionally uses microneedling, recommending others to try copper if minoxidil alone isn't effective.
community Does finasteride decrease free testosterone?
Finasteride may decrease free testosterone by increasing SHBG, potentially causing side effects like reduced libido and hormonal changes. Some find it effective for hair loss, while others experience negative effects.
community You NEED this if Youβre Taking Fin/Dut
DIM is suggested to help with estrogen metabolism for those on finasteride or dutasteride, potentially reversing side effects like fat gain and mood changes. Some users doubt its effectiveness, recommending lifestyle changes or consulting a doctor instead.
community Have people with aggressive balding genetics genuinely had any results after applying any natural remedies ie:rosemary oil,coconut oil,Onion Juice etc
Natural remedies like rosemary oil, coconut oil, and onion juice are generally seen as less effective compared to medical treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling. Some users believe natural oils can help, but modern medicine is often more reliable.
