Prevent hair loss while keeping DHT

[MaximumCope]

I have Butea Superba and Aromasin, both of which increase DHT. What I’m not too particular fond of is hair loss, does anyone recommend any products/supplements that keeps my hair while still reaping the benefits of DHT?

ru58841,minoxidil,topical finasteride

Wouldn't topical finasteride still mess with his DHT?

 

[redmaxx]

the benefits of DHT?

Which are...?

topicals go systemic at a much lower rate

Yeah but isnt the whole goal of finasteride inhibiting DHT in the first place jfl

 

[MaximumCope]

Which are...?

I’m aware that DHT is pretty much a useless hormone after puberty, but I’m 15 and want to make the most of what I have left since DHT lowers estrogen and enlarges genitalia.

edit:no topical finasteride

topical and oral reduces serum dht by 70percent basically the same

topical is more focused on scalp dht rather than system dht (your whole body)

Efficacy and safety of topical finasteride spray solution for male androgenetic alopecia: a phase III, randomized, controlled clinical trial - PubMed

Topical finasteride significantly improves hair count compared to placebo and is well tolerated. Its effect is similar to that of oral finasteride, but with markedly lower systemic exposure and less impact on serum DHT concentrations.

How’s the genitalia going

Do we have an estimate to how that affects the DHT levels of the whole body?

 

[MaximumCope]

How’s the genitalia going

I haven’t tried either product but I still want to be able to negate the side effects as soon as I take it. Genitalia isn’t really a problem for me but I’d like to extend my growth plates to the fullest extent.

in the study i linked it was only like a 35% reduction but i've seen studies where it was even less

That's quite a bit but better than nuking all of it I guess. Wouldn't be very good for DHTmaxxin but good to know about it for hairloss jfl

low dose topical finasteride (0.025%) lowers scalp dht nearly the same as oral fin but only reduces the overall dht in the body by 25-30%.

can try oral minoxidil/stemoxydil or ru58841 or pyrilutamide or breezula or fluridil. all these have no effect on dht
