community M27 Fin/Min (topical) was fun while it lasted
The user experienced high liver enzyme levels, possibly due to topical finasteride or supplements, and decided to stop using finasteride while continuing minoxidil. After stopping finasteride and supplements, liver levels returned to normal, suggesting finasteride or supplements might have been the cause.
community How does some people revive their scalps with minoxidil only?
Some people respond better to minoxidil due to higher enzyme levels converting it to its active form. Minoxidil helps with hair regrowth but doesn't prevent hair loss; finasteride and other DHT inhibitors are needed for that.

The user experienced significant hair regrowth using topical Minoxidil and Finasteride but had to stop due to high liver enzyme levels. They plan to pause treatment for a month to see if their liver values return to normal.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
