5 / 408 resultscommunity Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.
Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.
community Which compounds in Saw Palmetto are actually beneficial?
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.
community Theaflavin (Black Tea Extract) reduce DHT, androgen receptor activity and estrogen
Theaflavin, a black tea extract, may inhibit DHT and androgen receptor activity, but its effectiveness for hair loss is debated. Users report no significant improvement with theaflavin, while some find beta sitosterol helpful.
community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
community Possible topical option for preventing BDNF-related hair loss
The conversation discusses hair loss linked to BDNF-increasing nootropics like Semax and Lions Mane. Suggested topical treatments include capsaicin, beta-glucan, and ginseng to counteract TGF-B activation.
