5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 22 years since the last major development
The conversation discusses the lack of significant advancements in hair loss treatments since the introduction of finasteride 22 years ago, with many expressing frustration over the failure of new projects and skepticism about future developments. Some users mention hair transplants and other potential alternatives like Alfatradiol and Fluridil, but acknowledge finasteride's dominance in the market due to its effectiveness and affordability.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community What else can I do to compliment Minoxidil?
A user has been using minoxidil for hair loss and has seen positive results, but is seeking additional treatments to enhance its effects. One suggestion given is to use finasteride alongside minoxidil.
community My Testosterone results before and after Finasteride
Finasteride significantly increased testosterone levels for the user, with no major side effects except watery semen, which was resolved with zinc supplements. The user's hairline stopped receding and slightly improved.
community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
