Glossary Hormonal Changes

variations in hormone levels affecting bodily functions and processes

Hormonal changes, also known as hormonal fluctuations, refer to variations in the levels of hormones in the body. These changes can occur naturally due to life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, or due to medical conditions and treatments. Hormonal changes can significantly impact various bodily functions, including metabolism, mood, and hair growth, potentially leading to conditions like alopecia.

learn procapil

Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.

learn Baicapil

Losing hair from hormonal imbalance? Baicapil might block DHT without messing with your hormones. No published study shows that Baicapil blocks DHT — the only data on the ingredient itself is the manufacturer's own unpublished dossier, and the baicalin research behind the claim is cancer cell-line work in which the effect was explicitly independent of the androgen receptor.
