5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Creatine, my hair loss, and my DHT levels. An anecdote with lab values.
Increased hair loss after starting a 10g daily creatine regimen, possibly linked to elevated DHT levels despite dutasteride use. Stopping creatine reduced shedding, but the exact cause is uncertain, with discussions on exercise and lifestyle impacts.
community My DHT levels while being on DUT for a year
The conversation discusses the ineffectiveness of tablet forms of dutasteride for hair loss due to poor absorption compared to soft gel capsules. It suggests switching to FDA-approved soft gel capsules for better results, as tablets may not adequately suppress DHT levels.
community Halted my hair loss with topical liposomal finasteride 0.01%
The user halted hair loss using 0.01% topical liposomal finasteride daily, with no side effects or regrowth, and recently added 5% minoxidil and low-level laser therapy. They recommend this conservative approach for those hesitant about finasteride.
community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.
Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.
community 25M | 10 years of gradual hair loss | Minoxidil user | Looking for input on treatment optimization before HT
A 25-year-old male with 10 years of hair loss is using minoxidil and considering adding finasteride or dutasteride, possibly with microneedling, to improve hair regrowth before a hair transplant. Community members suggest starting a DHT blocker immediately, considering oral minoxidil, and addressing low vitamin D and HDL levels.
