This study found that reintroducing certain depleted aminoacids into weathered hair using cosmetic treatments can strengthen the hair, improving its look and feel and reducing damage and breakage.
Aminoacids, particularly Cysteine, are important for hair growth and may be lacking in a normal diet. Using a protein powder that includes these aminoacids can help improve hair growth and strength.
A user shared a DIY recipe for a NutraKos-style aminoacid mix as a cost-effective alternative to the expensive product, suggesting it as a complementary supplement for hair loss. Another user argued that proven treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are more reliable, questioning the efficacy of the aminoacid mix.
Protein's role in hair growth is complex, with specific aminoacids like cysteine being crucial for effective hair growth. Users discussed using l-cysteine supplements, noting reduced hair loss and faster growth, though some experienced digestive issues.
The user is exploring hair loss treatments, including Patented Growth Factors (PGF) and a serum with Copper Peptide, Ceramides, AminoAcids, and Caffeine, while expressing concerns about the cost and effectiveness of PGF. They are also considering starting finasteride due to doubts about PGF's long-term viability and are seeking experiences from others who have used these treatments alongside antidepressants.
Micronutrient testing and deficiencies related to hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Discussion includes the impact of iron, selenium, zinc, copper, folate, B12, vitamin E, vitamin D, aminoacids, and fatty acids, alongside treatments like dutasteride or finasteride.
