community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 9 months ago

Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.

community How to Keep Your Hair on Steroids

in Treatment 26 upvotes 1 year ago

To minimize hair loss while using steroids, use finasteride or dutasteride and apply topical anti-androgens like RU58841. Avoid high doses of hair-toxic steroids; prefer testosterone, nandrolone, and boldenone.

A user shared their hair progress after three steroid cycles, using 5% minoxidil and 100mg RU58841 daily. They are considering a hair transplant due to paranoia about shedding.

community Finasteride does deplete important nuero-active steroids

in Research/Science 11 upvotes 3 years ago

Finasteride can reduce neuroactive steroids, causing side effects like depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Some users experience persistent symptoms after stopping finasteride, while others use alternative treatments like topical solutions.

community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 3 years ago

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.
