Treatments mentioned include changing shampoo/conditioner, taking MSM, collagen, hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin, B12, folate, and bovine blood capsules.

community White hair seemed to be turn black, re-pigmentation

1 upvotes 10 months ago

The user experienced hair repigmentation and attributes improvements in hair and overall health to a carnivore diet, Boron, and Selenium supplementation. They stopped using finasteride after 20 years, noticed increased testosterone and libido, and observed hair regrowth with RU58841.

community Recent trials investigating mesenchymal stem cell derived exosomes demonstrate significant increases in anagen duration and hair shaft caliber by upregulating Wnt/beta-catenin pathways.

4 upvotes 1 month ago

Exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells can increase hair growth by enhancing anagen duration and hair shaft thickness through the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Phase 2 trials show improved hair counts over 24 weeks.

community BREAKTHROUGH: I’m a radiochemist and discovered a radioactive isotope scalp serum that OUTPERFORMS Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors! (Lab Data Inside)

in Satire 1 year ago

A satirical post where someone claims to have developed a radioactive isotope scalp serum using Polonium-210 that outperforms Minoxidil and finasteride for hair regrowth. The serum reportedly stimulates DNA repair in hair follicles, leading to significant hair density increase, but the post is met with skepticism and concerns about safety.
