Yes HGH has been claimed to grow hair, thats why some people take large amounts of argenine or a product called colostrum as its supposed to aid or supplement HGH release. Rob

Try Tryptophan as opposed to 5HTP if you can(banned in America) see article.Also interesting as it promotes melatonin which supposedly has anti aging properties as well as aiding the sleep cycle.BTW bad sleep promotes high cortisol which is bad for hair Rob...

Agreed only the article i read/misread states type 1 is found in the scalp http://home.earthlink.net/~drfelman/notes.html Sorry for the hasty and misquoted post Rob

It is interesting with regard to HairLossTalk.com's facts on Saw palmetto which i totally agree with ,that although SP targets and inhibits the 5-AR enzyme which is found mainly in the prostate(type 1) and not that in the scalp, people with a 5-ar deficiency of this enzyme do not suffer from male pattern baldness.I agree SP...

I can never seem to find any literature examining the effects these drugs have on 5ar receptors? I mean studies have hinted that the body may produce more 5ar receptors to combat the decrease in DHT. Furthermore although rare, hyperadrogencity (also very understudied, can't seem to find any...

Has anyone had any success with 17-alpha estradiol as a topical or for that matter progesterone cream.Also is anyone trying to enhance levels of Super Oxide Dismutase to offset superoxide and if so how are you doing it Cheers Rob

Cheers Ta for the replies guys.I was on ciprimil/citalopram for 6-12 months and it was only after coming off it that i noticed hairloss.Wondering if it triggered male pattern baldness,or perhaps accelerated it as i may need to go back on it due to anxiety Cheers Rob

Hi guys I've read the studies but i was wondering how long people here have actually used finasteride and minoxidil with continued results/maintenance.Also has anyone found using proscar any different to using propecia due to inexact doses Cheers Rob

Hi all Just wondering whether any of you have any experience of losing hair while taking these meds i.e Prozac,Ciprimil , Zoloft etc.The meds actually state in some cases they can cause hair loss but it's rare.Also i can't find any info anywhere as to why they may cause hair loss.The same is...

Cheers for the replies I read somewhere that argenine and lysine though normally in competition ,when taken together in doses greater than 1.2g help stimulate HGH release.Apparently even the researchers were puzzled as both normally competed across the blood brain barrier.Even if this is...

Hi all As mentioned before i'm unsure as to whether i have male pattern baldness.My hair is missing to a large extent in a 1inch strip from my temple to the back of my head but nowhere else, possibly due to scratching and rubbing habit but possibly male pattern baldness.My question is 1.If i take finasteride or dutasteride will it have a...

How come Testosterone declines as we age yet baldness increases with age.This seems confusing as DHT is formed from T.Also in the confusing mix are SHBG,IGF-1,HGH all of which vary with age yet also vary with each other sometimes inversely.It's no surprise a cure hasn't been found Any...

My own thinking is that it is Seb Derm as i have reddish patches of inflamed skin which itch and flake if touched.As i do itch and rub them the hair is falling out under the vigorous rubbing and not regrowing due to the bad environment.As seb derm is caused by DHT enriched sebum would...

Cheers for that Still unsure but hair is disappearing quickly so i may as well give it a try Now do i do Finasteride or Dutasteride. Also has anyone used a herb called gotu-kola or a product called bovine colostrum the latter of which can supposedly raise IGF-1 levels and also regulate immune...

Hi all Posted my story on the relevant forum and now i'm looking for answers.If i take finasteride what will be the effect on my hair if i do not have male pattern baldness.Furthermore does anyone know a good and cheap supplier in England.If it is not male pattern baldness but an overactive immune system that is destroying my...
