5 / 854 resultscommunity Whey Protein can cause hairloss in men with AGA as per a doctor
Whey protein may slightly increase hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to elevated IGF-1 and testosterone levels, but the effect is minimal compared to treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Many users argue that whey protein's impact on hair loss is negligible and that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important.
community Blood Test Recommendations & Brewers Yeast
The user is considering blood tests to understand their receding hairline and is exploring brewer's yeast for its biotin content. They have been using topical Minoxidil, biotin, collagen, and microneedling, but are avoiding oral Finasteride and Dutasteride.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Personal results (1mg finasteride + 10.000mcg biotine) after almost 3 years. Not as impressive as some here, but maybe provides a more realistic view.
Jericho1017 shared their hair regrowth results after nearly 3 years using 1mg finasteride and 10,000mcg biotin daily, with noticeable improvement after 1.5 years and no significant side effects except for watery semen. Some users suggested adding minoxidil and microneedling to improve results, but Jericho1017 is currently content with their progress and not looking to add more treatments.
community Can iron or other vitamin deficiency lead to a decrease in hair diameter? Or does this only occur in androgenetic alopecia?
Iron or vitamin deficiencies can lead to decreased hair diameter, not just androgenetic alopecia. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
