5 / 1000+ resultscommunity He is claiming, he can treat alopecia
A user claims a product can treat alopecia, but others are skeptical, calling it a scam due to lack of evidence and transparency. The product is said to inhibit Type II 5-αr by 22.9%, but is considered weaker than existing DHT blockers.
community For what it's worth, I just want to state that I also think that adding Dutasteride to Finasteride has made my hair worse
A user shared that adding Dutasteride to Finasteride worsened their hair loss, despite initial improvements with Finasteride alone. Others in the conversation debated the effectiveness of Dutasteride, with some suggesting individual responses vary and others defending its proven efficacy for hair loss.
community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Why does it seem everyone favors finasteride over dutasteride?
The conversation discusses preferences for hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride over dutasteride. Users share personal experiences, cost considerations, FDA approval status, and potential side effects, with some switching between treatments to find what works best for them.
community The theory that explains everything. The malloclusion theory has been proven.
Brian Dye's theory links skeletal malocclusion type II to hair loss, suggesting it's a blood flow issue. Treatments mentioned include minoxidil, finasteride, and anti-inflammatory drugs like benaxoprofen.
