@aestheticprimal the key is to reduce dht in your scalp while maintaining levels in the blood: anagen.xyz/products/preci…

When you look at how DHT and other 5alpha-reductase metabolites are synthesized, it seems like their main role is to make u thrive under stress.
Explains why most don't actually notice any mental effect from Finasteride until they're exposed to a BIG challenge
look at this👇

@SwingsBrah been on l reuteri for 4 months now, can confirm.

Having way more boners from L Reuteri and mixed butyrate supporting fibers, do with this what you will. Hans is probably right about this

@VXaviervm minoxidil is anti-androgen, nukes ur DHEA

Hello,
might want to actually consider the scalp environment in terms of how DHT will act
in healthy scalps = helps shift vellus into terminal hairs
hypoxic factors, inflammatory cytokins, fibrosis and mitochondrial dysfunction change the result of scalp DHT

idk if u guys know this but dandruff shampoos with ketoconazole (even if u dont hv dandruff) can reduce hairfall n increase hair growth
English
@VampireHills @MetabolicCowboy I’m also curious about this as I’ve been seeing so much about the powder lately. 2-3 pills get me what’s recommended without having to taste anything

@LuxurySkills @DejaRu22 Same, on season 2 so far 🤝 season 1 finale was absolute peak
English
@TakeThiamine @Babygravy9 Agreed. I bought a 12 pack of boar bristle brushes and only used a few of them and one day I went to grab a new toothbrush and noticed the rest of the unused ones were covered in mold. Had to throw them all out
English
@Babygravy9 I’m a health-conscious guy but I don’t see the issue with using a regular toothbrush and clean nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste. I used wooden brushes for a while and they’d always get moldy.
English
Put some coconut oil on your (wooden) toothbrush, dip it in baking soda, then brush. That’s it. That’s all you have to do.
You don’t have to buy “toothpaste” at all.

“VanMan's Miracle Powder: 4,258 ppb lead” “Primal Life Dirty Mouth: 7,800 ppb lead” Fun fact: lead is not “primal”, it’s actually really bad for you

Ketocoznale
Act locally on follicles, not systemically like SRD5A1/A2 inhibitors such as dustasteride/finasteride, which have direct action on enzymes
Used these shampoos growing up due to having serboic dermatitis so went down the rabbit hole before

Had a disturbing realization: I recall being a young adult (8-13 range) and having/using Nizoral (ketocozanole) shampoo. I honestly don’t know what for, maybe dandruff? It was Rx’d by a dermo. It’s a potent anti androgen. Given my meaningful experiences with DHT in DMSO applied to my forehead, this is greatly disturbing. Even more disturbing that androgens are scheduled substances whereas a pre-teen boy can be Rx’d an anti-androgen shampoo to use ad lib at home. This is one of hundreds of examples of things which chemically assault masculine development.

@RootScientist Does 2% ketoconazole shampoo go systemic? Used it for a couple months and swear I got low libido but not sure if it was just a coincidence
English
@AJA_Cortes If you don’t want the hormonal risk there are plenty of alternatives out there. Oral Minoxidil with a microneedling routine shows good results for many, with some science to back it up (wrote a post on this a couple of days ago). Throw a DHT blocking shampoo in the mix too!
English
@hawkmoonvonkoln @NStumphauzer What if you get one without the sulfates and added fragrances? Or is is the Ketoconazole itself causing this?
English
@NStumphauzer Anyways nizoral fucking sucks cause it's a bad shampoo to begin with and it drying out your scalp and frying your hair is worse than the ketoconazole, atleast get some regenepure DR

@biohacker I recently started using 2% Keto shampoo and I swear after using it for a month or two I noticed lower libido so I stopped. Not sure if it was a weird coincidence or what
English
@345marcel @AchillesRenault Do you apply it to your whole scalp or just where it’s receding?
English
@AchillesRenault Topically not really. I personally wouldn't take oral. Rather take GHK-Cu injections.

@VJRiddell You mean just regular dish soap? Like the residue leftover was the cause?
English
@SolBrah Make sure to never wash your milk bottles with regular washing liquid. Blundered a bunch of hair because of this.
English
Hair is acquiring highlights through sea, salt and sun. I believe eating higher quality raw animal fats contributes strongly to your hair quality and general spiritual/nature aligned resonance - which I believe reflect in the shape and color of your hair and you’ll be healthier.

@NoahRyanCo Copper does more damage to mold than all these combined.
But people think copper is toxic.
I lived my whole life in a moldy apartment till a year ago.
Brain fog, skin issues, sinus issues, fatigue.
High copper reversed it in weeks.
English
Says this.
Still would reject them after they shaved it off.

Oh wow. They all look SO much better after taking it all off. 🪒

@BerbarianWizard What about Ketaconazole shampoo? It’s supposed to reduce DHT in the scalp but since it’s topical would it still go systemic? I just recently started using it twice a week and it has noticeably helped my dandruff.
English
@beastpeaknigga Yes topical don’t mean it don’t go systemic

@DejaRu22 I started to lose my hair very quick when I was like 19 and did an hairtransplantation when I was 22
English
@lk_drewski @DejaRu22 all of that is trash. you must come to the Ray Peat side if you wish to truly restore your hair.
English
@lk_drewski @DejaRu22 It could be your head posture.
A lot of folks, (i was one of them) don’t use their tongue “correctly” to engage the muscles in the lower neck. The jaw and other head muscles take over supporting the head and that results in scalp tension.
Tension + over time = no blood flow
