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.
RU58841 is used topically to prevent hair loss by blocking DHT, with suggestions to drink grapefruit juice, take breaks, avoid microneedling, and use lower concentrations to reduce side effects. Users discuss applying it at night to minimize systemic absorption.
The conversation discusses the effects of lowering DHT on hair loss and the importance of monitoring DHT levels during treatment. The user suggests that individual responses to DHT and hair loss treatments vary, and expresses a preference for topical treatments over oral medications due to concerns about systemic DHT reduction.
Dutasteride may have fewer side effects than finasteride, with some users experiencing better hair maintenance. Experiences vary, with some preferring dutasteride for fewer side effects, while others see no significant hair improvement.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of DHT blockers for hair loss, questioning if they are just vitamins or truly effective. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
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.
A 25-year-old man with hair loss from bleach damage is using oral minoxidil and considering adding Dutasteride for better regrowth and prevention. He seeks advice on Dutasteride's effectiveness and potential benefits over finasteride, and is also curious about RU58841.
The conversation discusses the cost-effectiveness of using premade RU58841 versus making it from powder for hair loss treatment. It also questions whether higher concentrations are more effective for women.
RU58841 can be ordered as a powder and compounded at home, but it should be stored at room temperature to avoid crystallization. Pyraulatmide may follow a similar principle.
The conversation discusses interest in participating in PP405 trials for hair loss treatment, with users expressing uncertainty about eligibility due to location. Participants are eager for updates and willing to pay for shipping if trials are limited to America.
