For you peeps running before/after blood tests on your DHT as you evaluate finasteride, note that the average DHT level in folks without finasteride is around 33 ng/dL as seen in this study - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7775644/
With DHT, divide nmol/L by 0.0344 to convert to ng/dL.
Mine went...
One place is https://www.snlabs.com/index.html, usually it costs less than $150. Cheaper options maybe locally to you.
I did that a few times then I ended up buying a spectrophotometer from ebay to test my own sh*t.
Yeah hopefully they post the full results for the NGF 574 trial -- https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03676400?term=Medipost&draw=2&rank=5
Essentially, medipost is all about umbilical cords and the materials derived from them. They have 19 studies going on with variations of them including...
But that's just the experience from that one dude on YouTube right?
I agree, at this point there isn't a lot of data supporting its wide use but I won't completely discount a treatment so easily:
It's best to check your DHT levels via a blood test before/while using finasteride. I suspect a lot of the major side effects are with folks going to near zero DHT.
The most persistent minor side effect I get with finasteride is morning wood completely stops if I'm on it.
Yeah, I think its lack of popularity is due to: it's a bit expensive, need to keep hair dry, not a lot of clin studies.
But yeah eucapil is superior to RU in terms of safety. It degrades in water into harmless substances.
Maybe after Topilutamide's patent expires, we'll see some more interest...
Well, it's a legit product from a legit medical company -- Medipost is the largest private cord blood bank and their Cartistem product on knee and hip cartilage regeneration was approved by the FDA about 6 years ago in the US (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5442809/). NGF574 also...
NGF-37 is $70 on ebay. They last me about 2 months.
My current hair routine is:
topical:
1ml of Sistema GB (minoxidil, Tretinoin,clobetasol), midday
Sistema GB Shampoo1/2 alternating day system (shampoo 1: ketoconazole, shampoo 2: Climbazol / Piritiona de Zinc.)
Laser Hat 25 minutes, every other...
I emailed ngf-574h@celino.co.kr directly and they sold me a bottle of NGF-574H before the official launch for $90 USD. I'll let folks know if it helps but it's not going to be very scientific since I'm running a few other things in parallel. I may isolate it later on depending on how things go...
I did a lot of blood tests and have detailed DHT records:
Before ever taking finasteride: 41 ng/dL DHT
On Oral finasteride (1mg/day) : 11 ng/dL DHT
On topical finasteride (Morr-F) : 19 ng/dL DHT
Off finasteride for a month: 35 ng/dL DHT
