      community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research

      in Research/Science  149 upvotes 1 month ago
      Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.

      community KX-826: Long-Term Safety Results are out!

      in Research/Science  160 upvotes 1 year ago
