5 / 504 resultscommunity What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
community Almost 2 weeks on peppermint oil and castor oil. Front hairline sees new baby hairs.
A user claims to see new baby hairs after using peppermint and castor oil for nearly two weeks, but others are skeptical, attributing the appearance of new hair to the way the hair is styled or pulled back.
community People call companies stupid for making very high concentration Topical Fin solutions but I think they overlook the fact that the actual absorption rate of finasteride varies greatly
The conversation discusses how the absorption rate of topical finasteride varies and is not equivalent to its oral form, with only a small percentage reaching the scalp. It also mentions that minoxidil in high concentrations is used topically because only a small amount is absorbed.
community Husband (35) is thinning on top, he doesn't know yet. Trying to research so he won't feel so lost or upset when I tell him. Help a girl out?
A woman is concerned about her husband's hair thinning and researches treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. He decides against medication due to potential side effects and plans to shave his head if necessary.
community We should actually be hopeful for these recent new developments
AI advancements, like AlphaFold, are speeding up drug discovery for hair loss, promising more effective treatments. Current options like minoxidil and finasteride have limitations, but new developments could improve solutions in 5-10 years.
