Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) with Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis) Emphasizing Epigallocatechin Gallate 3

The conversation discusses whether drinking green tea affects hair loss, with one user concerned it might increase DHT levels. The user is already using finasteride and wants to ensure green tea doesn't hinder progress.

Green tea extract and soy isoflavones may help with hair loss by inhibiting DHT and providing additional health benefits. Combining these with finasteride and possibly using nizoral shampoo could enhance effectiveness in managing hair loss.

The conversation discusses using green tea, saw palmetto, horsetail, and zinc supplements for hair regrowth. One user criticizes the avoidance of finasteride.

Green tea extract combined with red light therapy is being considered for hair growth on the scalp. Traditional treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil are also mentioned.

Teak leaf extract shows potential as a mild hair growth promoter for androgenic alopecia, with similar positive trends to minoxidil but without significant side effects. It can be made at home using dried teak leaves and ethanol, though its effectiveness compared to other treatments like finasteride is debated.

NAD⁺ precursors and EGCG may increase hair density, but users report mixed results with no significant hair gains. Some users suggest combining these with finasteride or dutasteride for better results.
