research Evaluation of Total Oxidant and Total Antioxidant Status in Patients with Acne Vulgaris
Acne patients have higher levels of oxidative stress, but it's not clear if it causes or results from acne; antioxidants might help treat acne.

research Serum nuclear factor E‐2‐related factor 2 in female pattern hair loss
Women with pattern hair loss may have more stress in their bodies due to a lack of NRF2, a protein. Eating healthy and losing weight could help reduce this stress and improve hair loss. NRF2 boosters might also help treat this type of hair loss.

research The role of oxidative stress in early-onset androgenetic alopecia
Oxidative stress increases in early hair loss, and family history plays a role; antioxidants may help future treatments.

Hair loss therapies focusing on hair follicle sugar metabolism and aldose reductase. Potential treatments include magnesium supplements, avoiding high glycemic index foods, and antioxidants.
community For what it's worth, I just want to state that I also think that adding Dutasteride to Finasteride has made my hair worse
A user shared that adding Dutasteride to Finasteride worsened their hair loss, despite initial improvements with Finasteride alone. Others in the conversation debated the effectiveness of Dutasteride, with some suggesting individual responses vary and others defending its proven efficacy for hair loss.
community Countering oral minoxidil side effects by taking collagen supplements?
Oral minoxidil may deplete collagen, potentially causing skin aging. Users discuss whether taking collagen supplements can counteract this effect.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
