Questions And Info On These Vitamins And

[bmoreno515]

Question about a few vitamins if someone can answer please. How does stinging nettle and l lysine help with hair loss?

Stinging nettle, I have read can actually raise dht levels and sounds like can make things worse..I have read that if combined with saw palmetto and pygeum then it can be a good combination but from all the readings I found that it raises dht I'm not sure if I'd want to add it in. Is it true that it does raise dht levels? If so why is it known as a anti hair loss supplement? Would
combining the three together prevent that from raising dht?

Now for l lysine i have read that it can make vitamins like saw palmetto or beta sitosterol more potent and I guess give them more of a kick. Is this the real reason why it is listed as a anti hair loss supplement?

I am also looking into balancing or lowering my hormones and I read that rehmannia can help with that but I have read that it has all the ingredients to help enhance your sexual needs so why do I read one thing that it can help lower it but has all the ingredients to raise your hormones..I'm tired of being a horn dog and feel like its really going to take an affect on me and my hair.

Are you sure stinging nettle increases DHT?

Here they say the opposite:

According to the book "Campbell-Walsh Urology," extracts from the roots of stinging nettle contain phytotherapeutic products made up of plant oils, fatty acid chains, phytosterols and phytoestrogens. These compounds have anti-inflammatory effects, alter growth factors, regulate lipid peroxidation, inhibit 5alpha-reductase and protect the bladder as well as the muscles that control its function.


Rehmannia is anti/inflammatory mostly. However it is supposed to lower your libido, especially in conjunction with Skullcap and Ligistrum.

Hey Roberto thank you for responding but usually when typing in a new vitamin or any supplement I check to see if it can increase DHT before anything and there was a lot saying that stinging nettle does increase DHT that's why I am so confused because I have read that it won't as well but have you taken it before?

As for rehmannia I get the same answers that's it lowers libido but it can also increase it as well. have you tried this as well?

Also the link is about nettle tea not the vitamin supplement? or is it the same thing? The link says it can help increase sex drive but i would like to lower mine which is why I want to try rehmannia.
