5 / 976 resultscommunity Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV

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.
