community after several weeks of research, here's the stack I've decided on
A 23-year-old experiencing diffuse hair thinning has chosen a treatment stack including topical finasteride, a blend of rosemary, peppermint, and pumpkin seed oils, procyanidine B2 spray, ketoconazole shampoo, and scalp massages. They avoid minoxidil due to family history of side effects and oral finasteride due to high estrogen levels.
community Atherosclerosis as cause of balding and treatment
Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hair follicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hair growth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.
