research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Turmeric Inhibits Conversion of Testosterone to DHT; Creatine Enhances It - Kyle Gillett
Turmeric may slightly inhibit DHT, but it likely doesn't significantly impact hair loss. Creatine might increase DHT levels, but its effect on hair loss is debated and not conclusively proven.
community If inhibiting DHT can cause Prolactin to increase then is the opposite also true?
The conversation discusses using P5P (Vitamin B6) supplements to reduce elevated Prolactin levels and concerns about its potential effect on increasing DHT levels. The user is not currently using finasteride or any anti-androgens.
community Dutasteride: More Than a DHT Reducer – A Potential Androgen Receptor Inhibitor?
Dutasteride may inhibit androgen receptors in addition to reducing DHT, potentially explaining its effectiveness over finasteride for hair loss. Concerns about its impact on muscle growth are debated, with some suggesting no significant effects.
community Are any of these DHT inhibitors (RENU Biogen)
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. The user inquires if RENU Biogen is a DHT inhibitor.
