Glossary Androgenic Side Effects

involve physical changes due to male hormones like testosterone

Androgenic side effects refer to the physical changes and symptoms that occur due to the influence of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. These effects can include increased body hair, acne, deepening of the voice, and in some cases, hair loss (androgenic alopecia). These side effects are often seen with the use of anabolic steroids or other medications that affect hormone levels.

learn Follistatin

How does follistatin compare to finasteride or dutasteride for treating androgenic alopecia? Finasteride and dutasteride are prescription drugs with large controlled trials showing they lower DHT and slow androgenic hair loss, at the cost of documented hormonal side effects; follistatin targets a different, regenerative pathway but has only one small phase 1 human trial behind it, so it is experimental with unknown safety rather than a comparable alternative.
