learn Clascoterone

Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.

learn Estradiol

an estrogen promoting hair regrowth more commonly used in women

Why is Estradiol used to treat hair loss in women and transgender people undergoing hormone therapy? Estradiol helps treat hair loss by balancing hormones and supporting hair follicle health.
How does topical Estradiol compare to oral Estradiol in treating alopecia? Topical estradiol delivers hormone to the scalp with less systemic exposure, but evidence is thin and it is still a hormone. It needs a doctor's supervision, and people with estrogen-sensitive cancers must not use it without medical approval.

learn Follistatin

Is follistatin safe for use in women or transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy? No study has tested follistatin in women or transgender people on hormone therapy, and it has no approved human use or established dose; the one relevant signal, from a 2023 randomized study in adolescents with PCOS, links higher follistatin to less favourable metabolic markers, so the published evidence does not support using it in this group.
