5 / 185 resultscommunity Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.
Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.
community Study shows further evidence that finasteride and dutasteride take 12-18 months or more to show significant results. Do NOT give up early
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride in treating hair loss, emphasizing that significant results often take 12-18 months or more. Dutasteride is generally considered superior, with similar or fewer side effects than finasteride, but patience is required for noticeable improvement.
community So many horror stories about switching from fin to dut
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride can cause initial shedding, but many see long-term hair regrowth and stabilization. Responses vary, with some experiencing fewer side effects and others finding it less effective.
