community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate
Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.
community (Topic) does saw palmetto actually work?
Saw palmetto can help reduce DHT levels and may work in combination with other supplements like beta sitosterol and pygume, but it's less effective than finasteride. Additional treatments like pumpkin seed extract, zinc, biotin, essential oils, scalp massages, and micro-needling can support hair health, but should not replace existing treatments like finasteride.
community What's your opinion on this type of supplements?
The conversation discusses skepticism about DHT blocker supplements for hair loss, with many users recommending proven treatments like finasteride and minoxidil instead. Some users shared personal experiences with alternative treatments like beta-sitosterol and saw palmetto, noting side effects and limited effectiveness.
