A 23-year-old stopped using finasteride due to sexual side effects after three years. The discussion covers experiences with finasteride, dutasteride, and other treatments, noting varied side effects and effectiveness.
community Any clinical study on cysteine alone for hair loss?
The conversation discusses the lack of clinical studies on cysteine alone for hair loss, with the original poster already using medications like Minoxidil and finasteride. Suggestions include trying 2ddr as a growth stimulant, though concerns about side effects like gas are mentioned.
community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
community Clinical Trial: N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of AGA in Men
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is being explored for treating hair loss, but users report mixed results. Some also mention using Quercetin and Resveratrol without significant hair improvement.
