5 / 7 resultscommunity 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.
community blood DHT levels shot up after doubling dutasteride dosage
A user increased their dutasteride dosage from 0.5mg to 1mg daily, resulting in a rise in DHT levels from 148 pg/mL to 281 pg/mL, and is considering switching back to finasteride due to continued hair loss. Replies suggest retesting and emphasize the importance of bloodwork before starting treatments.
community Insane dutasteride shed 4 months after switching.
The post and conversation are about a user's experience with hair loss treatments, specifically switching from finasteride to dutasteride. The user experienced significant hair shedding after the switch, with others suggesting patience, noting similar experiences, or questioning the user's decision and medical consultation.
community Oral Minoxidil and Grapefruit Juice
The conversation is about the potential dangers of taking oral minoxidil and grapefruit juice together. Some users express concern about dangerous drug interactions, while others argue that grapefruit juice may inhibit the metabolism of finasteride. The conclusion is that grapefruit juice may make finasteride less effective, but it won't affect minoxidil.
community Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
