5 / 933 resultscommunity Propecia - Big Shed 3 Years In - Advice Sought
A user experienced significant hair shedding after three years on finasteride, possibly due to stress or whey protein, and sought advice. Others suggested it might be a temporary shed, recommended monitoring for deficiencies, and mentioned adding dutasteride if needed.
community Does anyone have a list of vitamins that could help alongside dut and min?
The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically using dutasteride and oral minoxidil, and exploring additional vitamins and supplements like vitamin D, zinc, biotin, and omega-3 to support hair health. Users suggest getting a blood panel to identify deficiencies and emphasize the importance of protein and overall nutrition.
community Protein's role in hair growth is more nuanced than just quantity
Protein's role in hair growth is complex, with specific amino acids like cysteine being crucial for effective hair growth. Users discussed using l-cysteine supplements, noting reduced hair loss and faster growth, though some experienced digestive issues.
community Derm told me that my whey protein usage is speeding up hair loss?
Whey protein is unlikely to cause hair loss, and some users suggest it might be beneficial if dietary protein is insufficient. Hair loss is generally considered genetic, and there is skepticism about the dermatologist's advice to switch from whey protein to whole foods.
community What vitamin deficiencies that cause hair loss
Vitamin deficiencies, particularly in vitamins A, B, C, D, and minerals like iron, zinc, and copper, can lead to hair loss. Dietary changes, such as eating more nutrient-rich foods, can improve hair health.
