The user reports that MSM supplementation has thickened their hair strands while using finasteride and topical minoxidil. They also take zinc, copper, B-complex, vitamin C, vitamin D3, and K2, and plan to add omega-3, magnesium, astaxanthin, and pterostilbene.
The conversation is about the stability of pyrilutamide in different solutions. The user is asking if a 70/30 ethanol/pg solution with 4% water will degrade pyrilutamide.
Hair loss therapies focusing on hair follicle sugar metabolism and aldose reductase. Potential treatments include magnesium supplements, avoiding high glycemic index foods, and antioxidants.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
Saw palmetto's fatty acids, particularly lauric and linoleic acids, inhibit enzymes linked to hair loss, while sterols like beta-sitosterol are less effective due to poor absorption. The conversation questions which specific compounds in saw palmetto contribute to its anti-androgenic effects.
The conversation discusses using a multimodal approach to treat androgenic alopecia, including substances like gamma-linolenic acid, DHA, sulforaphane, melatonin, cetirizine, astaxanthin, fisetin, apigenin, curcumin, limonene, genistein, and berberine. Users also mention using ketoconazole, minoxidil, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as part of their hair loss treatment regimens.
The conversation discusses taurine supplements for hair growth, highlighting their potential to reduce DHT and improve hair health. A user comments that people often try alternatives to finasteride.
The user noticed new baby hairs after using sulforaphane but is still experiencing shedding. They are seeking a supplement to stop shedding, possibly grape seed extract.
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.
Taurine shows potential in combating hair loss caused by chemical stress, especially when combined with other treatments like finasteride. Finasteride demonstrated better stress-reducing effects in the study.
The conversation discusses optimizing sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts by soaking them in water at 74 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. It also mentions hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, and Sulforaphane supplements. Two brands of Sulforaphane supplements, Avmacol and Prostaphane, are mentioned with optimal dosages.
Sulforaphane, found in broccoli sprouts, promotes hair growth by degrading DHT. Users discuss its potential benefits and joke about unconventional application methods.
A user is interested in creating a hair growth serum using oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, and anhydrous ethanol, and seeks advice on sourcing these ingredients. Another user plans to mix these with minoxidil, which already contains ethanol, and mentions using RU58841.
A user suggests making a potent sulforaphane topical to degrade DHT and promote hair growth. Another user notes that sulforaphane's low molecular weight might also lower systemic DHT.
Increasing the sult1a1 enzyme on the scalp may improve response to topical minoxidil. The user suggests using a baking soda solution, DMSO, and tretinoin to enhance enzyme activity and minoxidil effectiveness.
The conversation discusses the potential of creating a homemade sulforaphane topical for hair loss treatment. Participants mention challenges with sulforaphane stability and reference other treatments like Minoxidil.
Selenium sulfide shampoo helped with a sore scalp but may cause hair root damage. Users experienced hair loss with selenium sulfide and ketoconazole, suggesting reducing use if hair loss occurs.
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.
The conversation discusses personal experiences with hair loss and highlights the potential impact of anemia and nutrient deficiencies on hair health. Treatments mentioned include changing shampoo/conditioner, taking MSM, collagen, hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin, B12, folate, and bovine blood capsules.
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
Micronutrient testing and deficiencies related to hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Discussion includes the impact of iron, selenium, zinc, copper, folate, B12, vitamin E, vitamin D, aminoacids, and fatty acids, alongside treatments like dutasteride or finasteride.
The conversation discusses Melatonin's potential benefits for AGA and a product called "Asatex" by ASATONA AG. The company was uncooperative when contacted for purchase inquiries.
High-dose Lysine and Histidine supplements caused curly/kinky hair and shedding due to Elastin dysfunction. Minoxidil, white tea, and dark grape juice were mentioned as treatments to inhibit Elastase and mimic Lysyl Oxidase.
The conversation discusses concerns that Anagenic's version of GT20029 might not be as effective or safe as Kintor's, with comparisons to issues faced by pyrilutamide. The chemical structure of the drug has been published.
Combining therapies like scyllo-inositol, alpha-ketoglutarate, and autophagy-inducing supplements may enhance hair growth and prevent hair loss. Reporting individual results can accelerate progress in hair loss treatments.
The conversation discusses using zinc sulphate and azelaic acid to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity, which could potentially treat androgen-related skin conditions like hair loss. Combining these with vitamin B6 could enhance the effect, potentially offering an alternative to finasteride.
