Glossary Antioxidant Activity

neutralizes free radicals to prevent cellular damage and aging

Antioxidant Activity refers to the ability of certain substances to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and diseases, including hair loss and alopecia. These substances, known as antioxidants, help protect cells by donating electrons to free radicals, thereby stabilizing them and preventing oxidative stress. This property is crucial in maintaining overall cellular health and can be found in various vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds.

Alternating Dutasteride with pumpkin seed oil may protect the spleen from damage caused by Dutasteride. Pumpkin seed oil's antioxidants help counteract oxidative stress and immune suppression.

community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

26 upvotes 4 years ago

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.

community Thoughts on this topical? Has a combination going on but are they really heavy hitters

4 upvotes 7 months ago

Follicium XR™ is a topical treatment for hair loss containing RU58841, AHK-Cu, GHK-Cu Peptide, caffeine, D-Biotin, methylene blue, keratin, and spermidine. RU58841 is considered the most effective ingredient, but concerns exist about its stability in water.

community I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.

Can Ecklonia Cava be used as a preventive treatment for early signs of hair thinning? No human trial has tested Ecklonia cava for hair loss, so it cannot be called preventive; the evidence is mouse studies and cell cultures suggesting antioxidant activity and 5-alpha-reductase inhibition in the lab.
