    GlossaryAndrogenic Effects (Androgenic Influence)

    influence of male sex hormones on physical traits

    Androgenic effects refer to the influence of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone, on the body. These effects include the development of male characteristics such as facial hair, deepening of the voice, and increased muscle mass. In both men and women, androgens can also impact hair growth patterns, potentially leading to conditions like androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness).

      community DHT/Testosterone levels in scalp Fin VS Dut.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  65 upvotes 5 months ago
      Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
