5 / 484 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 Trying to understand finasteride side effects and post finasteride syndrome
The conversation discusses the side effects of finasteride, including low libido and erectile dysfunction, and the possibility of these effects being permanent, known as post-finasteride syndrome (PFS). Some users report personal experiences with PFS and debate whether the condition is real, with varying opinions on the reversibility of side effects and the role of individual biology.
community Dutasteride broked my liver (maybe)
A user shared their experience with high cholesterol, glucose, and potential metabolic syndrome after using Finasteride and Dutasteride for hair loss. They plan to improve their health with diet and exercise before considering medication.
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.
community For Once and For All: Is It the DHT in the Scalp That Matters, Not the DHT in Your Bloodstream?
DHT in the scalp, not the bloodstream, is crucial for hair loss. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and microneedling.
