Did you mean genetically predisposed?

GlossaryGenetic Predisposition

inherited genes increase the likelihood of developing certain conditions

Genetic predisposition, also known as genetic susceptibility, refers to an increased likelihood of developing a particular disease or condition based on a person's genetic makeup. This means that certain inherited genes can make an individual more susceptible to conditions like alopecia, but it doesn't guarantee that the person will develop the condition; environmental factors and lifestyle choices also play a significant role.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

in Research/Science 70 upvotes 3 months ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
