whey protein isolate growth hormones anabolic precursors hormonal modulation hair regrowth

TLDR Certain supplements, like whey protein isolate and growth hormones, can worsen hair loss.

The paper investigated the impact of various supplements on hair loss, focusing on the biochemical pathways involved. It aimed to help hair loss professionals understand and address these effects. The study found that certain supplements, particularly whey protein isolate, growth hormones, and anabolic precursors, had the most significant negative impact on hair loss. The research suggested that hormonal modulation of hair regrowth could be a future strategy for preventing hair loss.
