5 / 146 resultscommunity Theoretically won't this be better than finasteride? Azelaic acid + zinc
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.
community Minoxidil is NOT an Anti-androgen. No.
Minoxidil is not an anti-androgen; it is a growth stimulator and does not lower DHT like finasteride or dutasteride. Minoxidil can cause side effects like facial swelling and anxiety due to its vasodilator properties.
community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
community Dr Huberman - Cafeine when rubbed on the scalp can be as effective at times as minoxidil because it triggers 1GF-1
Whether topical caffeine can be as effective for hair growth as minoxidil and finasteride, with various replies discussing the efficacy of these treatments and criticism of Dr. Huberman's research methods.
community Hair regrowth without drugs (99% natural) 25M
A user shared their experience with hair regrowth using supplements like NAC and DIM, and briefly using minoxidil with microneedling. They reported some improvement in hair density, but the community questioned the effectiveness compared to traditional treatments like finasteride.
