High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
community Does Creatine Really Increase DHT? My Personal Experiment
Creatine does not increase DHT levels, but some report hair loss when using it, possibly due to other factors. The effects on hair loss vary individually, with no clear connection established.
community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects
Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
community Cardio for more than 60 minutes reduces DHT levels and improve hair growth
Long aerobic exercise (over 60 minutes) can reduce DHT levels and improve hair health. Some users discuss using Tadalafil (Cialis) to further reduce DHT after exercise, while others mention using treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 for hair growth.
community DHT Itch is real. The connection between Acne and Male Pattern Baldness shows this
The conversation discusses the link between seborrheic dermatitis, acne, and male pattern baldness, suggesting that DHT may cause both skin conditions and hair loss. Treatments mentioned include RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, Nizoral shampoo, and other topical anti-androgens.
