Collagen peptides are recommended for hair and skin benefits, with users noting improvements in hair and skin health. However, evidence on their effectiveness for hair growth is inconclusive.
A 21-year-old is using a combination of topical finasteride, topical and oral minoxidil, a liquid multivitamin, collagenpowder, liquid biotin, microneedling, and red light therapy to address hair thinning. They are cautious about side effects and unsure if their hair loss is due to DHT or past brushing habits.
A woman found that taking grass-fed collagenpowder helped with her alopecia, leading to hair regrowth and reduced hair loss. She initially took it for gut issues, not hair, and also noticed improvements in arthritis and reduced bruising.
Significant hair regrowth was achieved over six months using minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, biotin and collagen shampoo, and MSM powder. The user feels more confident and may consider a hair transplant if necessary.
Age-linked hair loss is linked to disappearing collagen. Treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, tretinoin, microneedling, and collagen supplements.
