Reducing sebum can indirectly lower DHT levels, with treatments like accutane, tretinoin, and green tea extract acting as DHT blockers. Accutane can lower DHT levels by reducing 5α-reductase activity, but its impact on hair varies.
community Creatine in People Who Take DHT
Finasteride users have mixed experiences with creatine; some experience increased hair loss, while others do not. Finasteride's DHT-blocking effects might counteract any DHT increase from creatine, but individual responses vary.
community Creatine made all my high DHT symptoms return
Creatine may increase DHT levels, potentially causing symptoms like acne, oily hair, and hair shedding. Users report mixed experiences, with some avoiding creatine due to hair loss concerns and others seeing no impact.
community DHT Isn't (Directly) Important
Finasteride's potential side effects, especially sexual dysfunction, are discussed, with emphasis on hormonal balance between testosterone and estradiol. Users share experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, highlighting the variability in side effects and the influence of mindset and lifestyle.
community Results are in for my experiment with Creatine/Fin
Creatine use with finasteride increased DHT levels, possibly affecting hair loss. The user plans to reduce creatine to stabilize DHT and hair shedding.
