Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.
Dr. Tsuji and Riken announced a hair cloning cure with a 98.9% success rate, expected to be released in 10 years. Users expressed hope and skepticism about the affordability and timeline of the treatment.
The conversation is about using DIY copper peptide (GHK CU) serum for microneedling to address hair loss, with additional treatments including Nizoral for DHT reduction and red light therapy. The user is considering adding Minoxidil but is concerned due to having cats.
RU58841 is not FDA approved, and users are discussing its availability and legitimacy in India, with some mentioning brands like Vantanex and Capomil. One user warns about the risk of gyno from RU58841, advising to stop use at the first sign of sensitivity.
Copper peptides, specifically GHK-Cu, are discussed as a potential addition to hair loss treatments, possibly working synergistically with Minoxidil to convert vellus hair into terminal hair. The effectiveness and credibility of copper peptides are questioned due to the lack of widespread discussion and potential conflict of interest from the product's creator.
Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
Topical RU58841 is discussed for hair loss treatment, with a focus on brands available in Europe that have low systemic absorption. Users suggest mixing your own solution to control vehicle and dosage, and mention different brands like Actifolic and Biolabshop.
