NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
The user shared their hair loss treatment progress using topical products like exosomes, fluridil, Kx826, and topical dutasteride, avoiding oral finasteride and dutasteride due to side effects. They found exosomes from Creative Biolabs most effective and also used topical probiotics, noting improvements without significant side effects.
The conversation discusses complementary treatments for hair loss while using finasteride and minoxidil, including scalp massagers, scrubs, coconut oil, and vitamin supplements. The user seeks opinions on these additional treatments.
