5 / 5 resultscommunity The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
community U/joaopassos444 , HATS OFF brother !!
A new hair loss treatment theory beyond minoxidil and finasteride is proposed, causing mixed reactions in the community, with some members eager to explore and support it, while others call for more research and evidence.
community Going to try the theory posted here for the next 3-6 months
User xEternex tries hair regrowth with daily broccoli sprouts, apple extract containing procyanidin b2, and microneedling. Others discuss potential issues with the experiment and share their experiences with vegetable consumption and hair growth.
community Broccoli supplement (Sulforaphane) for better Minox results?
Broccoli or sulforaphane supplements are unlikely to improve Minoxidil results due to the need for an unrealistically large dose. Tretinoin, micro-needling, and low-dose oral Minoxidil may be more effective for those lacking the necessary enzyme in the scalp.
community Action plan without finasteride
A user shared their hair loss treatment plan using Revita tablets, Sulforaphane, Minoxidil, and microneedling, avoiding finasteride due to side effects. Replies suggest that without finasteride, the plan is unlikely to be effective, and recommend either using finasteride or shaving their head.
