Rosemary extract showed high inhibitory activity against DHT, similar to finasteride and dutasteride, but the conversation includes skepticism about its effectiveness in humans since the study was done on mice and rosemary oil is often considered ineffective based on personal experiences. Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.

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.
