    Glossary Enzymatic Digestion

    Enzymatic digestion refers to the biochemical process in which enzymes break down complex molecules into simpler forms, facilitating nutrient absorption and metabolism. In the context of hair biology, enzymatic digestion can influence the degradation of hair follicle components and extracellular matrix proteins, which may play a role in hair loss conditions such as androgenetic alopecia. Key distinguishing characteristics include the specificity of enzymes for particular substrates and the role of this process in maintaining healthy hair follicle function and overall scalp health.

      A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

      community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !

      Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.

      community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss

      in Research/Science  235 upvotes 2 years ago
      Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.

      community Sublingual Minoxidil - Cure to Hairloss?

      in Minoxidil  583 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses the potential benefits of sublingual minoxidil for hair loss treatment. It suggests that sublingual minoxidil, which bypasses the liver, may have fewer side effects, greater bioavailability, and could be more effective than oral minoxidil.
