Male hormones promote hair cell growth by using a growth factor from nearby skin cells.
research Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 and Hair Growth
IGF-1 can boost hair growth by promoting cell growth and preventing cell death.
research The Expression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 in Follicular Dermal Papillae Correlates with Therapeutic Efficacy of Finasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher IGF-1 levels in hair follicles link to better finasteride results for hair loss.

5 / 238 resultscommunity PSA: If you're prone to MPB dont take creatine
Creatine might speed up hair loss in those prone to male pattern baldness, possibly due to increased DHT levels. Some users experience no issues when using creatine with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, or dutasteride.
community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?
DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
community What are your thoughts on pre-finasteride blood work?
The user is considering resuming finasteride after a 6-month break and is debating the necessity of extensive blood work, including hormone and health markers, to establish a baseline. They are unsure if the tests are necessary since they experienced no side effects previously.
community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment
The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
community Whey Protein can cause hairloss in men with AGA as per a doctor
Whey protein may slightly increase hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to elevated IGF-1 and testosterone levels, but the effect is minimal compared to treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Many users argue that whey protein's impact on hair loss is negligible and that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important.
