GlossaryKrebs cycle (TCA cycle)

series of reactions in mitochondria generating cellular energy

The Krebs cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle or TCA cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This cycle takes place in the mitochondria and produces ATP, NADH, and FADH2, which are essential for cellular energy and metabolism.

community Sucess story for you guys, pics are 10+ years apart.

in Progress Pictures 311 upvotes 8 months ago

A user shared a success story showing hair regrowth over 10 years, attributing it to quitting creatine and taking 0.5mg finasteride. Some commenters were skeptical about creatine's impact, while others inquired about side effects, and the original poster reported no negative effects from finasteride.
