5 / 737 resultscommunity IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found
The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201
PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.
community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)
There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
community Copper Peptides—Discussion
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.
