learn Biotin

B vitamin, often sold as a hair supplement

Vitamin B7: is it the ultimate secret to healthy hair or just a myth? A 2017 review found that every published case of biotin helping hair was in a person with a deficiency or another underlying condition, and no good evidence that it helps healthy people.

Biotin: the darling of hair products. A 2017 review found that every published case of biotin helping hair was in a person with a biotin deficiency (which is rare) or another underlying condition, and no good evidence that it helps healthy people. The FDA warns that biotin can make some blood tests give wrong results.

learn Clascoterone

Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.

learn Follistatin

Is follistatin safe for use in women or transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy? No study has tested follistatin in women or transgender people on hormone therapy, and it has no approved human use or established dose; a 2023 study in 72 adolescents with PCOS found that the body's own follistatin rose on estrogen-containing contraceptives alongside less favourable metabolic markers, a correlation that does not show follistatin caused them. The published evidence does not support using it in this group.

learn Setipiprant

Can Setipiprant be used safely by women or people undergoing gender transition? Setipiprant's safety for women and those in transition is not well-studied.
