5 / 94 resultscommunity Anyone here going the “natural” route?
People discussing their experiences with natural treatments for hair loss, such as essential oils, deep scalp massages, anti-inflammatory measures, and supplements. Most of the replies suggest that these treatments are not effective and recommend medication such as minoxidil or finasteride instead.
community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
community Impressed by the progress but think it’s time to go for the transplant?
The user started taking 2.5mg minoxidil tablets daily and reduced their finasteride dose to 0.5mg due to side effects. They are considering a hair transplant but are unsure if they should proceed now or wait after seeing the effects of the reduced finasteride dosage.
community A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
