research Hair growth promoting effect of white wax and policosanol from white wax on the mouse model of testosterone-induced hair loss
White wax and policosanol from white wax effectively reduced hair loss and promoted hair growth in mice better than a known hair growth drug.
research Effect of Adiantum Capillus veneris Linn on an Animal Model of Testosterone-Induced Hair Loss.
Adiantum capillus-veneris Linn reduced hair loss and improved hair growth in mice with testosterone-induced alopecia.
research Anti-androgenetic effect of diphlorethohydroxycarmalol on testosterone-induced hair loss by inhibiting 5α-reductase and promoting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol may help treat hair loss better than current medications.
research The In Vivo and In Vitro Effects of Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. Fruit Extract on Testosterone-Induced Hair Loss
Terminalia bellirica extract may help promote hair growth and prevent hair loss caused by testosterone.
research 2′‐Fucosyllactose Alleviates Hair Loss in Testosterone‐Induced Androgenic Alopecia Mice
2′‐Fucosyllactose reduces hair loss and promotes hair growth in mice.

Akkermansia bacteria can improve hair growth inhibited by testosterone, and metformin may increase Akkermansia, which could help with hair loss related to aging, insulin resistance, and inflammation.
community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss
Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
community Ray Peat: Testosterone Isn’t the Culprit, Prolactin and Cortisol Drive Hair Loss (2016)
Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.
community NEW Creatine and DHT/Hairloss Study
Creatine is believed by some users to cause hair shedding, though a study found no increase in DHT or testosterone levels. Many users shared personal experiences of hair loss after using creatine, while others noted no change, suggesting individual variability.
community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
