Glossary Genetic Studies

involves examining DNA to understand gene influence on traits

Genetic Studies, also known as Genetic Research or Genomic Studies, involve examining DNA to understand how genes influence traits, diseases, and overall health. These studies can identify genetic variations that contribute to conditions like alopecia, helping researchers develop targeted treatments and preventive strategies.

community Creatine and Hair Loss: Are the studies misleading?

74 upvotes 1 month ago

Some users believe creatine may cause hair loss, citing anecdotal evidence and criticizing study flaws. Others argue there's no proven link between creatine and hair loss, suggesting any shedding might be due to other factors or genetic predisposition.

community abusing caffeine boosts DHT levels!

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 1 year ago

Caffeine intake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hair loss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hair loss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.

Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.
