I haven't properly done research on this. The thing is testosterone and DHT already increase expression. I've never tried collagen personally. So I can't speak on that either. So it's hard for me to say. Currently my view is neutral based on lack of research.Just to add I agree with the fibrosis and calcification hence raised DHT being part of the effect of scalp tension which is the result of what's been discussed in this thread and my previous post, but what's your take on collagen?
I know supplements are meant to increase skin elasticity, but there are so many health benefits. I've always been undecided on collagen, do you think it's detrimental to reducing scalp tension even if inflammation and calcification etc is addressed?
What may help hair growth tho is essential (probably even non essential) amino acids. Most studies show benefits there. I still have to work it out tho. But collagen like I said I'm unsure. It's a bit of a "trend" these days so that kind of makes me a bit suspicious. I'm sure it's good for you but how much really.
For now I won't do collagen. But I do supplement a little with amino acids.
And I also agree with the other person it's better if we separate these threads. No reason they have to be in one it's taking away from the point.
