Poor bloodsupply in hair follicles is linked to nutrient deficiency in patients with female pattern hair loss, and adding more nutrients could potentially fix this.
Using PP405 and Clascoterone after a hair transplant may not cause issues if the transplant didn't achieve native density, but could lead to competition for bloodsupply if it did. Some users suggest waiting for these drugs to be available, as they might not significantly impact bloodsupply or regrowth.
Iron supplements can help improve hair thinning and brittle skin, but recovery time varies based on individual factors like ferritin levels and absorption rates. Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor ferritin and iron levels.
Minoxidil helped with hairline regrowth, but stopping it led to hair loss, suggesting circulation issues. Dermarolling, collagen peptides, and oils like castor and rosemary are recommended for improving hair health.
OP is using 5% minoxidil and a foligain supplement for hair loss, with blood test results showing high cortisol levels. OP is considering starting finasteride, while another user shares their experience with finasteride and hair loss challenges due to malabsorption issues.
After using finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss, a user's blood tests showed almost unchanged DHT levels and some out-of-range hormone levels. They experienced side effects when taking dutasteride daily and also take supplements that boost testosterone.
