Dutasteride taken as a pill. The next best thing is finasteride, taken as a pill or topically.
In my broscience view, the relationship between DHT, androgen receptors and hair follicles is the same as between apoB, cell walls and blood vessels. High DHT (apoB) + lots of androgen receptors (high permittability) => rip hair follicle (lots of plaque buildup and rupture). Moderate DHT and moderate number of androgen receptors and you only develop hairloss starting only in your 30s or 40s.

I feel my hair growth seemed to slow down (significantly) while I was taking Rapa. It seemed stuck at waist length, whereas since I stopped Rapa it has grown quite a bit. Is this something others have experienced also?

Omg as a 71 year old woman, you’re saying I can get Rapamycin to put on my face for wrinkles? I was going to stop the oral……but this I’m all in. ,-) And I didn’t even know I could get minoxidil OTC as no hair issues until just recently. Gonna get some of that! Glad I saw your post. TY.

Has the group addressed all the hair vitamins on the market and if anything is worth trying?
My friend has been raving about this Mary Ruth supplement, but I wonder if there is a real benefit to this, or any of the competing brands… thoughts?
Unless you have deficiencies, don’t bother.

There is a separate thread on this forum about it. Some are actually testing it and may report their findings hopefully soon.

Minoxidil growth peaks after 6 months so about now would be the time some hyperresponder should be seeing huge results on monotherapy if that sugar really works as a growth stimulant.

Could any beta-blocker have the same effect if combined with Rhynchophylline (Cat’s claw)? I wouldn’t want to switch from Nebivolol, but could easily add Cat’s claw to try.
I’ve been thinking about giving this a try in addition to the potent topical I’m using. Although, their OS-1 Face cream didn’t do much for me.
Yes, Its interesting but I need to review the science they point to.

It’s available in Liposomal form from vendors already, if someone wants to try it.

I’m doing a deep dive on reversing gray hair right now and I’m coming across some really interesting stuff, just happened across that.
Only thing to note is it was administered via injection: “We identified the hair grew out in advance in the shaving area of C57BL/6N mice after the treatment of liposomal honokiol (Lip-honokiol) by daily abdominal injection.”
Honokiol has been on my list of things to try. Even if I don’t have any hair loss, it seems like it would be good for many things.
