This sounds interesting.

I beleive awhile back some scientists from Andreans (i'm not sure if it was them) began working on something ( a topical?) for acne and hairloss?? Does anyone remember that? I wonder if they were working on something like this?

Very interesting, but let's not get over-excited until it actually comes to market.

FYI, the compound they are testing is a curcumin analogue which they have a patent on. Studies have shown that curcumin may be the most anti-androgenic compound to date.

Somebody here talk about this company many moons ago. Hairlosstalk was planning a visit to them. I don’t think it finally happen though.

Can somebody explain the two photos? Or did I miss the caption in the article?

Good post, sounds awesome! Yet another possible treatment to look forward to.

Curcumin is easy to get. Just not their analogue.

elguapo: I didn't see any captions either. I went to their website:
http://www.androscience.com/science.htm

apparently they are pictures of sebaceous glands

i didn't see any info beyond that.

Can you explain what the difference is between taking a curcumin supplement and taking there curcumin analogue? Is it a good idea to take a curcumin supplement then?

doesnt blocking the androgen receptors give some people "brain fog"? would damaging the receptors give someone permanent brain fog if they were prone to it?

Why was "brain fog" (whatever that is!) not reported in the clinical trials? I'm sceptical about this phenomenon.

Dunno. Relatively few people ever block their androgen receptors systemically, other than prostate cancer patients and male-to-female sexual reassignment patients...

How can an analogue which is a structure that differs only very slightly from the parent element which is curcumin help that much more then curcumin itself? So curcumin alone then blocks the hair follicle receptors?

 

[newguy23]

so does anyone think that taking curcumin supplements could help boost hair regrowth?
