Some people have low sulfotransferase enzyme levels, affecting their response to minoxidil. Lifestyle factors, genetics, and diet, like MSM intake, might influence these enzyme levels.

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.

He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.

Vitamin E was discussed as a treatment for hair shedding, with a specific form mentioned. A user shared a link to a study and started taking the Vitamin E variants used.

User maintained hair with finasteride for 6 months, then switched to dutasteride for 7 months, using DHT blocking shampoo, keto 2% shampoo, and microneedling. Significant hair growth observed, especially on right temple.
