5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Dutasteride might be better for your hairline. Some people have more type 1 5AR activity in their scalp than others.
Dutasteride might be better for hairline due to varying levels of 5AR activity in scalps. Genetic tests can determine if finasteride is enough or if dutasteride is needed.
community What’s better dutasteride or finasteride?
Dutasteride is seen as more effective than finasteride for hair loss but may have more side effects and a longer half-life. Some start with finasteride for fewer side effects, while others switch to dutasteride for better results.
community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.
Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community 7 months dutasteride minoxidil microneedling 25y.o. Some progress.
A 25-year-old shared progress in hair regrowth after 7 months using dutasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling, noting some baby hair growth on the temples.
