5 / 192 resultscommunity The theory that explains everything – First Evidence of Hair regrow attributed to upregulating 3aHSD
Hair regrowth treatment involving 3aHSD enzyme shows 6% improvement in 18 weeks. Sulforaphane, L-Menthol, and Dexpanthenol are potential ingredients for new hair loss solution.
community My Testosterone is less than 1/3rd In 7 Months since I took Finasteride!
A user experienced a significant drop in testosterone levels after taking finasteride, leading to side effects like low libido and muscle mass loss. Despite its effectiveness for hair, the user decided to stop finasteride due to its impact on hormones, preferring to be bald.
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 Why is it that low testosterone causes hair loss as well? How can I be balding?
The conversation discusses the confusion over low testosterone potentially causing hair loss, with users sharing personal experiences and knowledge about hair loss treatments like Finasteride. Some users suggest that hair follicle sensitivity to DHT, not testosterone levels, is the key factor in balding, and others discuss the side effects of hair loss medications.
community From the research study: "Dihydrotestosterone and the concept of 5a-reductase inhibition in human benign prostatic hyperplasia" - G. Bartsch, R.S. Rittmaster, H. Klocker (2002) in the "World Journal of Urology".
Dutasteride is a stronger 5AR inhibitor than finasteride and can significantly lower DHT levels. Reduced doses of dutasteride may lower side effects.
