A user's father, mostly bald for 20 years, is regrowing hair using a serum called "Skrzypovita Serum Pro" without minoxidil. The user is curious about which ingredients might be causing hair growth.
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.
A user's experience with dealing with hair loss, and the advice that was shared by other users to cope with it. Suggested treatments included shaving their head, using medications such as finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, as well as dermarolling.
Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.
A user is concerned about starting finasteride due to negative reports and potential side effects. Other users suggest talking to a doctor, considering personal tolerance, and note that side effects are rare.
The post discusses microdosing finasteride to minimize side effects while treating hair loss. The user also mentions using minoxidil, biotin, and ketoconazole.
The user experienced worsening hair loss despite using finasteride and dutasteride. They are considering trying minoxidil but are unsure if it will help.
The post discusses using Carnitine Tartrate, Potassium Chloride, and Niacin to reduce hair shedding, with the user experiencing significant improvement. The user also suggests considering a ketogenic/paleo diet for those with insulin resistance-related hair loss.
