Creatine generally does not affect hair loss, but some report increased shedding due to higher DHT levels. Many manage hair loss with dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil.

Dutasteride and Minoxidil are not effectively preventing hair loss. Supplementing with Vitamin D and B12 is recommended.

A user has been taking finasteride for 5 months with no improvement in diffuse hair loss and suspects high levels of prolactin, cortisol, progesterone, and DHEAS, as well as iron, might be contributing to the issue. They are also taking vitamin D to address a deficiency.

Dutasteride may affect testosterone levels, leading to high ferritin and iron levels, which can cause hair loss. High ferritin might be linked to past heavy drinking or hemochromatosis.

The post discusses using Carnitine Tartrate, Potassium Chloride, and Niacin to reduce hair shedding, with the user experiencing significant improvement. The user also suggests considering a ketogenic/paleo diet for those with insulin resistance-related hair loss.

A 30-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia is considering bicalutamide to slow hair loss but is concerned about its impact on muscle growth due to its anti-androgen effects. Alternatives suggested include dutasteride, spironolactone, RU58841, and minoxidil, with concerns about bicalutamide's side effects.

A 16-year-old female experiencing severe hair loss and sebum buildup, likely due to telogen effluvium and PCOS, is currently using vitamin D3 supplements, Redenser serum, and T follihair supplements. Recommendations include addressing PCOS first and consulting a doctor.

People are discussing their experiences with kx-826 (pyrilutamide) for hair loss, using concentrations of 0.5% and 0.9%. They are sharing personal results and progress with this treatment.

The conversation is about using bicalutamide, taken less frequently than daily, for hair loss treatment. The user is considering 50mg every 3 days or once a week and is asking for others' experiences.

Alfatradiol (0.025%) is an effective and safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, increasing anagen hair rates with minimal side effects. Users discuss its cost-effectiveness and ease of use compared to other treatments like finasteride and RU58841, with some combining it with stemoxydine and Minoxidil.

RU58841 is preferred over finasteride for blocking DHT on the scalp, especially for those with aggressive MPB. Creatine is associated with increased hair shedding, even when using RU58841.

Finasteride users have mixed experiences with creatine; some experience increased hair loss, while others do not. Finasteride's DHT-blocking effects might counteract any DHT increase from creatine, but individual responses vary.

PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.

Clascoterone 5% solution showed a 539% improvement in hair count compared to placebo, but the actual increase in hair growth is minimal. Users express skepticism about the effectiveness of hair loss treatments.

Iron supplementation may be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Checking ferritin levels is important, as both low and high levels can affect health.
