Sugar in excess may make you fat, but it will not impact your DHT. Fat people are just as bald as skinny people who avoid sugar. In other words, no connection. Embrace sugar. There is nothing wrong with it when used in moderation. Artificial sweeteners do not cause hair loss. Sugar, Stevia, Sweet and Low, […]

I have been getting these sorts of questions quite frequently lately. The supplements and foods you’re consuming shouldn’t have any negative interaction with Propecia. The only interaction I can think of with food is with grapefruit, which causes problems for a variety of medications. The following 16 drugs are listed as having a moderate interaction […]
I don’t know how the patent process works in Italy, but if its anything like the patent process in the US, ridiculous things can slip through the cracks. So just because something is patented, it doesn’t mean it is proven to work or has any science to back up the claims. I haven’t seen the […]
You can do whatever you want in making medication for your own use, even in the United States. The FDA only protects the public from people or companies which: makes claims about a product’s safety or effectiveness that can not be validated through proper scientific studies produce a product without Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in […]
Good question. Propecia (finasteride 1mg) blocks mainly DHT type II, and Avodart (dutasteride) blocks both DHT type I & II. You would think if you block ALL the DHT it would be better against androgenic alopecia. Dutasteride is three times more potent than finasteride inhibiting the type II enzyme and 100 times more potent than […]
Much of what you are talking about reflects unsubstantiated claims. There have been mentions about soy isoflavones interfering with some medications, but I don’t believe that the connections you referenced are one to one with regard to the side effects. The mechanism of action of saw palmetto is not clearly defined but there is probably […]
You clearly did a lot of research. When you get your answers and you are clear as a bell on what it all means as you mix and match them, please feel free to share them with me. I do not have all the answers and whenever there are reports of things in the diet […]
Although this post isn’t hair loss related and it is about an article that is nearly 2 years old, this is an important read for those who buy into the antioxidant solution to anti-aging, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and the like. The question raised here is whether you can get these antioxidants from pills or […]
Good marketing appears to be their style. I would doubt that such a guarantee will materialize with hair, but if you are a gambler and believe that they will give you back all of your money if it does not perform to the promise, then you might take them up on it. Your call, of […]
A recent article, titled “An update on chemoprevention strategies in prostate cancer for 2006”, published in the May 2006, Volume 16, Issue 3 issue of the Current Opinion in Urology medical journal discusses the ability to reduce prostate cancer with a variety of herbs, vitamins and drugs including the roles of: finasteride, selenium, lycopene, soy, […]
Caffeine does not cause hair loss. If it did, I would be bald by now because I drink 5 cups of coffee a day! I have also heard sex is bad for hair, but I wouldn’t give that up either. With regard to green tea, see past blog entries here. Propecia does not lose its […]
Advecia (according to the search I performed online), contains: Saw Palmetto Extract 4:1 37.5 mg Green Tea Extract 600 mg Phytosterol Complex Beta Sitosteral 125 mg L- Arginine 1500 mg L-Lysine 600 mg Grape Seed Extract Proanthocyanidins 265 mg Frankly, I don’t have any idea if this works. Your guess is as good as mine. […]
Many, many times I have answered questions from this audience reflecting that ‘natural food’ or ‘natural ‘herbs’ may not be safe. From my readings I found this reference to Green Tea, a valuable suggested antioxidant with possible cancer properties. Clearly, all of these product are not created equal so this is just a warning for […]
Yes, certain types of an scalp inflammatory conditions can cause hair loss but it is not a diagnosis, but a symptom as I believe that you are using it. They may include auto immune diseases, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis (with a great deal of scratching) and infection in combination or alone. Inflamil, according to info I […]
I’ve answered this question before, but I am glad that you are inquiring if I am being paid by Merck to speak highly of Propecia. For the record, I do not work for Merck, am not on its payroll and have never been paid one dime for any of my opinions or activities in recommending […]
