      community Rosemary oil's potency as a dht blocker

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 1 year ago
      Rosemary extract showed high inhibitory activity against DHT, similar to finasteride and dutasteride, but the conversation includes skepticism about its effectiveness in humans since the study was done on mice and rosemary oil is often considered ineffective based on personal experiences. Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.

      community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

      in Research/Science  32 upvotes 1 week ago
