5 / 439 resultscommunity 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 We should actually be hopeful for these recent new developments
AI advancements, like AlphaFold, are speeding up drug discovery for hair loss, promising more effective treatments. Current options like minoxidil and finasteride have limitations, but new developments could improve solutions in 5-10 years.
community What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
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.
community 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.
