5 / 108 resultscommunity P-1075: a BETTER version of Minoxidil
P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.
community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
community Any finasteride users who maintained their hair for over 15 years?
Many users have maintained their hair using finasteride, with some also using minoxidil or dutasteride, reporting minimal side effects. Opinions vary on the necessity of DHT, with some users arguing its importance beyond puberty, while others believe it is unnecessary and that finasteride and dutasteride are safe and effective for hair maintenance.
community I enjoy taking finasteride every day
Users discuss their positive experiences with finasteride for hair loss, mentioning halted hair loss, hair regrowth, and improved self-esteem. Some express satisfaction in taking action against baldness, while others note increased libido and energy.
community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?
Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.
