The user is considering RU58841 and has been using dutasteride since age 17. They are seeking affordable SARD options, mentioning ASC-J9, GT20029, and AH001.
Clascoterone, a topical anti-androgen, is generating interest for potentially fewer systemic side effects. Users are curious about its effectiveness and details like concentration and duration of use.
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
The conversation is about finding a clearnet vendor for clascoterone, also known as Winlevi, for hair loss treatment. The user is seeking recommendations via direct message.
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.
A user reports high DHT levels despite taking finasteride and is concerned about inconsistent blood test results. They also take modafinil, vitamin D, and magnesium supplements.
CB-03-01 is a topical anti-androgen with low absorption, offering potential as a side-effect-free alternative to Finasteride/Dutasteride for hair loss. It's in stage 2 clinical trials for acne and showing promise for male pattern baldness.
The user is 13 months post-hair transplant and is using 1 mg finasteride and 2.5 mg oral minoxidil. They are seeking opinions on their crown's appearance, considering switching treatments, and contemplating a second transplant due to concerns about hair density and stability.
The user has high DHT levels despite using dutasteride, which may not be effective due to potential damage or spoilage. They are considering a hair transplant if DHT levels don't decrease after two years.
The user is experiencing increased hair shedding after one year of using oral dutasteride. They are seeking opinions on their DHT test results, which show levels below baseline.
The conversation discusses the molecular structures of compounds that reduce DHT levels, including finasteride and Ashwagandha. It explores the potential of using Ashwagandha topically as a 5a reductase inhibitor.
A user shared a 14-month hair loss treatment update using dutasteride, minoxidil foam, a 1.5mm derma roller, and Nizoral, with noticeable hair regrowth and no side effects. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of microneedling in combination with topical treatments, with many users agreeing it significantly enhances results.
The conversation discusses a personal theory on the role of DHT in stress and reproduction, suggesting it converts testosterone for reproductive traits. The discussion includes skepticism and mentions individual differences in physiology and neurochemistry.
There are no updates on GT20029, and concerns about its safety and effectiveness remain. The phase III trial has not started, and there are no new studies or data releases.
The conversation is about making a topical solution from clascoterone powder, with references to using a RU58841 mixing guide for guidance. Concerns about product authenticity and bulk purchase requirements are also discussed.
PTD-DBM is a Korean-developed treatment for hair loss, with limited information available and some users testing it personally. A user purchased PTD-DBM for $115 and plans to test it on their temples, but its effectiveness and authenticity remain uncertain.
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.
A user reported a 50% increase in testosterone after 18 months of taking dutasteride for hair loss. The conversation includes skepticism about the reliability of single testosterone tests and questions about estrogen levels.
A 24-year-old male experiencing diffused thinning discusses his DHT levels and hair density issues. He has not used finasteride or dutasteride and is considering AR inhibitors.
TDM-105795 showed better efficacy and safety in trials for hair loss, with a higher hair count improvement compared to GT20029 and HMI 115, but it's not as widely discussed. The user is questioning why this is the case.
The user received trichotest results indicating finasteride is ineffective for them, and they plan to use dutasteride mesotherapy and add cetirizine to minoxidil. They seek advice on incorporating dutasteride into their regimen.
A 22-year-old with high estradiol levels is considering starting finasteride for hair loss. They have an upcoming endocrinologist appointment to discuss whether they should proceed with the treatment.
A Phase 1 update for the HMI 115 clinical trial, which involves 16 participants and is expected to end in July 2023; as well as changes to the recruitment process, including treatment protocols with Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation discusses disappointment over only receiving a financial report from Cassiopea instead of trial results for Breezula/CB-03-01, a hair loss treatment. However, there is optimism as the company is advancing Breezula into Phase III trials for men, starting trials for women, and submitting an NDA for their acne product, Winlevi.
