This may be common news to some, but I’ve just learned the importance of amino acids for hair growth / strength. 9/28/2022
Amino acids, particularly Cysteine, are important for hair growth and may be lacking in a normal diet. Using a protein powder that includes these amino acids can help improve hair growth and strength.

5 / 5 resultscommunity Protein's role in hair growth is more nuanced than just quantity
Protein's role in hair growth is complex, with specific amino acids like cysteine being crucial for effective hair growth. Users discussed using l-cysteine supplements, noting reduced hair loss and faster growth, though some experienced digestive issues.
community Does anyone have a list of vitamins that could help alongside dut and min?
The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically using dutasteride and oral minoxidil, and exploring additional vitamins and supplements like vitamin D, zinc, biotin, and omega-3 to support hair health. Users suggest getting a blood panel to identify deficiencies and emphasize the importance of protein and overall nutrition.
community P-1075: a BETTER version of Minoxidil
P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.
community Can amino acids help with AGA
Amino acids like lysine, methionine, and cysteine may help with androgenetic alopecia when taken in high doses along with a DHT blocker. Users discuss combining these with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Has anyone tried collagen supplements?
Collagen supplements, often combined with L-cysteine, are reported to thicken hair but are not sufficient for preventing hair loss. Users also mention using other treatments like minoxidil, Nizoral, and dermarolling for hair regrowth.
