A user shared that taking vitaminE, specifically tocotrienols, seemed to reduce their hair shedding, and they are also using finasteride, minoxidil, and derma rolling for hair loss. Another user cautioned against high doses of vitaminE due to potential health risks.
A double-blind clinical study that found ingestion of tocotrienols resulted in a 34.5% increase in hair regrowth compared to the placebo group, and discussion about potential sideeffects and cost of supplementation with vitaminE pills. The conversation noted that it may be moreeffective than commonly used treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
The user is concerned about using dutasteride for potential hair loss, fearing it might accelerate balding if not effective. They are unsure about thedoctor's diagnosis and are considering starting with finasteride instead.
After 3 months of using minoxidil and finasteride, OP experienced significant hair regrowth despite initial skepticism from their doctor. Many users commented on the impressive progress and discussed the common issue of posting "after" pictures before "before" pictures.
The dermatologist prescribed topical finasteride and minoxidil, but only finasteride is available in pill form. The user plans a telehealth visit to discuss options.
