community I am committing to a carnivore Diet to see if it helps with hair growth

4 upvotes 4 years ago

The conversation discusses a user trying a carnivore diet to improve hair growth while also taking finasteride. Other users express skepticism about the diet's long-term health effects and suggest any hair improvements are likely due to finasteride.

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 i analysed diets in japan and korea , they cover sufficient amount of minerals needed for hair loss.

4 upvotes 3 years ago

Japanese and Korean diets provide sufficient minerals like folate, B12, vitamin D, zinc, iron, and copper, which may reduce androgenic alopecia. High soy consumption, containing phytoestrogens, might also contribute to lower hair loss in these regions.

community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism

in Research/Science 194 upvotes 1 year ago

Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.

community Extreme growth from only vitamins!

in Update 63 upvotes 1 year ago

A user experienced significant hair regrowth after improving their diet, getting sunlight, taking a multivitamin, and exercising, following a period of extreme calorie restriction and hair shedding. Others in the conversation attribute the hair regrowth to increased calorie intake rather than just vitamins.

community This may be common news to some, but I’ve just learned the importance of amino acids for hair growth / strength.

7 upvotes 3 years ago

Amino acids, particularly Cysteine, are important for hair growth and may be lacking in a normal diet. Using a protein powder that includes these amino acids can help improve hair growth and strength.
