    TLDR Smaller finasteride particles increase effectiveness in treating hair loss.
    A study from 5 years ago found that reducing the particle size of finasteride can improve its effectiveness in treating hair loss by increasing its bioavailability and cellular permeation. The study also found that reducing the particle size of finasteride improved its tissue distribution and cellular permeation, potentially enhancing its therapeutic efficacy. However, further research is needed to determine the ideal particle size for maximum therapeutic benefits and evaluate its long-term safety and efficacy.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  141 upvotes 9 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      in Treatment  65 upvotes 10 months ago
      The conversation is about the effectiveness of 0.25% topical finasteride compared to other concentrations and forms. Users discuss its potential for better scalp DHT reduction and fewer side effects, with some preferring topical over oral treatments.

      community 500mg pill of dutesteride ? Will I become Jesus him self ?

      in Satire  53 upvotes 4 weeks ago
      The conversation humorously discusses the exaggerated effects of taking a 500mg pill of dutasteride, with users joking about extreme side effects like excessive hair growth and loss of sensation. It also mentions personal experiences with finasteride and the potential high bioavailability of dutasteride in liquid form.
