5 / 363 resultscommunity Alpha plus from Anagenica - 25%CB???
A user ordered Alpha Plus from Anagenica, expecting it to contain specific percentages of Fin, Estradiol, Minoxidil, and CB0301. However, the received product's label showed different percentages, including a surprising 25% CB, leading the user to question its safety and accuracy.
community 17-alpha-estradiol/Alfatradiol how does it Work for Hair loss?
17-alpha-estradiol may work for hair loss by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, similar to finasteride. It might lower testosterone in the scalp, reducing DHT conversion.
community 5ar alpha reductase stimulation is different depending on whether it’s type 1 or 2
The conversation discusses how different factors can stimulate type 1 and type 2 isoforms of 5-alpha reductase, which are enzymes linked to hair loss. Specific treatments mentioned include oral Dutasteride and topical Finasteride.
community Inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase activity in human skin by zinc and azelaic acid????
The post discusses using a topical tincture containing zinc, azelaic acid, and other ingredients to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity for treating hair loss. The user plans to try this natural alternative before using finasteride or RU58841.
community Mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol)
The conversation discusses the mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol) in treating hair loss. It explores theories that it either inhibits 5 alpha reductase to prevent T->DHT conversion or aromatizes scalp T into 17-alpha-estradiol to save hair.
