5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 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.
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.
community Supposedly dairy contains precursors to DHT that are already 5a-reduced and convert to DHT independent of 5a-reductase inhibition
Dairy may contain DHT precursors that could affect hair loss and prostate health, with some users noting reduced hair shedding after eliminating dairy. Individual responses to dairy and DHT blockers vary, with some attributing hair health to diet changes and others seeing no impact.
community A repository of links to current scientific research and findings into the nature of and relating to side-effects for Finasteride/Dutasteride/5a-reductase inhibitors.
Finasteride and dutasteride, used for hair loss, can cause sexual dysfunction, depression, and suicidal thoughts, with some effects persisting after stopping. The post stresses the importance of being aware of these risks.
community Massive study on finasteride side effects released
The release of a study on 5a-reductase inhibitors (finasteride and dutasteride) which showed an increased risk of depression, dementia, decreased libido, and reduced semen load as potential side effects; discussion around other forms of hair loss treatments such as topical minoxidil, RU58841, or opting to accept baldness; and advice to consider professional help for deeper issues related to hair loss.
community 5 month comparison after switching to dutasteride
The user's progress after using dutasteride for hair loss treatment, and how minoxidil is also a helpful part of this process which can take up to one year to see full effects.
