5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Thoughts on this topical? Has a combination going on but are they really heavy hitters
Follicium XR™ is a topical treatment for hair loss containing RU58841, AHK-Cu, GHK-Cu Peptide, caffeine, D-Biotin, methylene blue, keratin, and spermidine. RU58841 is considered the most effective ingredient, but concerns exist about its stability in water.
community Can amino acids help with AGA
Amino acids like lysine, methionine, and cysteine may help with androgenetic alopecia when taken in high doses along with a DHT blocker. Users discuss combining these with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community DIY NutraKos-style 6–amino-acid mix (recipe + references)
A user shared a DIY recipe for a NutraKos-style amino acid mix as a cost-effective alternative to the expensive product, suggesting it as a complementary supplement for hair loss. Another user argued that proven treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are more reliable, questioning the efficacy of the amino acid mix.
community This may be common news to some, but I’ve just learned the importance of amino acids for hair growth / strength.
Amino acids, particularly Cysteine, are important for hair growth and may be lacking in a normal diet. Using a protein powder that includes these amino acids can help improve hair growth and strength.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
