community Brotzu lotion update

87 upvotes 8 years ago

A new hair loss lotion by Dr. Brotzu, expected to regrow up to 5 years of lost hair, is set to be released by Fidia Farmaceutici. It claims to work like minoxidil and finasteride without side effects, but skepticism exists due to its classification as a cosmetic product.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community Creatine, my hair loss, and my DHT levels. An anecdote with lab values.

165 upvotes 1 year ago

Increased hair loss after starting a 10g daily creatine regimen, possibly linked to elevated DHT levels despite dutasteride use. Stopping creatine reduced shedding, but the exact cause is uncertain, with discussions on exercise and lifestyle impacts.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

76 upvotes 2 years ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
