5 / 134 resultscommunity The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
community People who tolerate dut better than fin?
Dutasteride may have fewer side effects than finasteride, with some users experiencing better hair maintenance. Experiences vary, with some preferring dutasteride for fewer side effects, while others see no significant hair improvement.
