community Is Fin really the good standard

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 1 upvotes 1 year ago

A 29-year-old male has been taking 1mg finasteride daily for 8 months and using 5% minoxidil with tretinoin but is experiencing increased hair shedding and higher DHT levels. He is concerned about the effectiveness of finasteride and has noticed low libido and occasional ED.

community He just doesn't want Finasteride 🙃

149 upvotes 3 months ago

A man is experiencing hair thinning and is hesitant to use finasteride due to concerns about side effects, despite its effectiveness when combined with minoxidil. He currently uses PRP treatments and Saw Palmetto, but these are considered insufficient by others who suggest finasteride and minoxidil as necessary for preventing further hair loss.

community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti

13 upvotes 3 years ago

He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.

community He used Dutasteride for 20 years. Interview

113 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride has been used for 20 years with some hair thickness improvement but no dramatic regrowth. The user also experimented with minoxidil, tretinoin, and peptides like BPC 157 for potential benefits in hair density and quality.
