Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.

community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?

8 upvotes 2 years ago

Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?

32 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
