TGF-B affects hair growth, both causing stem cell division and death depending on amounts. Amplifica's treatment injects Scube3 to increase TGF-B for hair growth.
David Barreto shared that a London-based research group is conducting a 12-month trial for a new nutraceutical treatment for pattern hair loss, designed with Dr. Carlos Puig. The trial aims to provide robust data, with results expected in 1-2 years, potentially representing a significant advancement since finasteride’s introduction in 1997.
The conversation discusses taurine supplements for hair growth, highlighting their potential to reduce DHT and improve hair health. A user comments that people often try alternatives to finasteride.
Tretinoin may worsen hair loss by inducing premature hair follicle regression. It can be used with minoxidil to increase absorption but should not be used alone.
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
