5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How is it that golden era bodybuilders kept their hair while blasting gear while in the modern era most are bald? I’m convinced there’s something in our food and water causing MPB to speed up
The conversation is about the difference in hair loss between bodybuilders in the "Golden Era" and modern bodybuilders. Some users speculate that factors such as the types and doses of steroids used, genetics, diet, microplastics, and overall health may contribute to hair loss. Hair loss prevention medication and transplants are mentioned as potential treatments.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Oral Biotin and Topical Minoxidil have a synergy effect in increasing hair growth, the study was only done in healthy subjects and it was only 14 days but it does prove that biotin can play a significant role as an adjunct treatment.
Oral biotin combined with topical minoxidil may increase hair growth rate, though the study was limited to healthy subjects and did not measure hair density. Some users report personal benefits from biotin, such as faster nail growth and healthier hair, but concerns about acne and study quality were also mentioned.
community Saying creatine causes loss on fin/dut makes no sense and this is why
The conversation discusses whether creatine causes hair loss for those using finasteride or dutasteride, with some suggesting creatine might increase DHT or upregulate androgen receptors, potentially leading to hair loss. Others argue the evidence is not conclusive, citing limited studies and personal anecdotes, with some avoiding creatine as a precaution.
community ~5 months topical minoxidil + oral finasteride results (swipe images). Slacked with minoxidil this past month, trying to wean off anyways. My last update because I’m hopping off fin and switching to RU in a few weeks (nothing to do with fin efficacy, just experimenting).
The user experienced significant hair thickening after using topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for about 5 months and is considering switching from finasteride to RU58841. Other users encourage the original poster to continue the current treatment due to the positive results.
