    TLDR The supplement effectively improved hair growth and reduced hair loss safely.
    The study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of an oral supplement in 20 female patients with telogen effluvium, some with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The supplement contained sulfurated amino acids, trace elements, ubidecarenone, and vitamin B5. After 6 months, 14 patients achieved clinical healing, and 6 showed good improvement. Trichoscopy indicated significant improvement in 17 patients. All participants tolerated the treatment well, with no discontinuations. The study concluded that the supplement effectively and safely improved hair growth and reduced hair loss, with high patient satisfaction and excellent tolerability.

      ? This post by PastelDeUva discusses their experience with Minoxidil and Finasteride for hair loss treatments, which they stopped using for a year before resuming due to family's negative opinion. After restarting, they posted photos of the progression/regression of their hairline and are now planning on adding finasteride and dermarolling in order to get good results.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      OP is considering Bicalutamide for female AGA and TE but is concerned about its side effects and effectiveness compared to Finasteride. OP is also using Minoxidil and Spironolactone but is experiencing significant shedding and is unsure if it's androgen-driven or due to Minoxidil changes.
