5 / 904 resultscommunity So what other supplements should you take alongside finasteride.
The conversation discusses using finasteride for hair loss and considers additional supplements like vitamin D3, melatonin, zinc, biotin, and minoxidil. There is debate over zinc's effectiveness, with some suggesting it may not be beneficial for hair loss.
community Natural sweetener Stevia found to turbocharge male pattern baldness treatment: Mice given Stevia patch had 18 times better absorption of minoxidil and hair coverage of 67.5% in bald areas after just 35 days.
Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.
community Minoxidil seems logistically impossible and impractical to use
The post discusses concerns about the practicality of using Minoxidil foam for hair loss, including the frequency of application, preparation, coverage area, and drying time. Responses suggest that missing a dose isn't detrimental, it can be applied once a day, it works on all hair areas, and it doesn't need to be perfectly dry before application.
community Don’t do like me. Don’t take a long break from Fin and Min
Stopping finasteride and minoxidil can cause significant hair shedding, so they should be continued indefinitely. Concerns about finasteride affecting fertility or causing birth defects are mostly unfounded, but some stop for personal reasons.
