haidut, I love you, in a non-gay sexual way.
So in a heterosexual way?

If you look at the fin/dut studies, fin increases progesterone, which I am almost certain is how it actually is pro hair in the first place not due to the 5ARi properties. You need to remember dut/fin etc were under development for prostate drugs first, hair growth was just a side effect. Fin just increases/mimics progesterone in a shitty synthetic way unfortunately (blocking neurosteroids etc.).
Possibly because it opposes cortisol, prolactin, growth hormone, adrenaline, inflammation, and various metabolic byproducts in the scalp that are toxic to hair follicles. Oh, and it stimulates thyroid function and thyroid hormone synthesis.
In a non-gay, but somehow still sexual way.
That would be amazing if what you're saying is accurate (that fin/dut being prohair mostly due to prog increase).
Someone please feel free to state if I'm wrong but, finasteride is essentially a synthetic progesterone (i.e progestin) or variant of one, is it not?
In which case, it makes so much sense to just use natural progesterone instead.
Since oral prog increase T/DHT, I wonder if it interacts with something in the liver compared to applied topically.
This is something I've been wondering for quite some time now...
Because like I keep saying, there's a guy who got amazing results in terms of stopping his hairloss and thickening his hair, with ORAL PROG.
Would he have had the same results from topical prog? perhaps not.
Question is, why?
Is it perhaps for the same reason why oral fin works better than say topical fin.. it breaks down into something in the liver, that is helpful to the hair cycle? This is a really complicated question..
Yeah, well a lot of ppl here have really on used topical prog in terms of hair purposes at least to my knowledge. How much was that guy using again of prog? And did he say any side effects or any other effects he noticed positive/negative? Also is he just using prog tablets?
Yeah, well 5AR is also heavily present in the liver and the liver also filters out estrogen which prog antagonizes. And also stimulates thyroid conversion from T4 to T3 in the liver. LOL, so a lot of stuff at play here.
Right.. I'm aware most here use it topically, and most ppl in general.. especially for 'hair'. People who use 100mg orally are usually women.. which is why it's kind of a fascinating experiment to try.
He is using 100mg oral natural progesterone, every other day before bedtime, although after his transplant for 6 months he used it daily, at night.
Also, the same guy I'm referring to, had a buddy of his try the same 100mg oral prog for months, he had great success, decided to stop.. and his hair regressed, and now he's getting back on the oral prog...
Did they say anything about sides? ED, puffy chest etc.?
No sides as far as I know, for him.
His buddy just stopped taking it because he got lazy and felt he didn't need it anymore (because his hair improved while on it).
I'll double check for any sides though by asking again.
@haidut Wouldn't androsterone or dht do all those things too?

Another interesting note is that topical fin is no where near effective as oral (if topical is even effective at all).
Which is interesting because it seems progesterone acts in the same way.
Is progestene safe to try orally or is that suicide with all the dmso?Right..
That's what I'm wondering.
Maybe progesterone (and fin) needs to pass through liver to exert it's most positive effects on hair..
But... why?
its fine it isn't even a very significant amount of dmso. just pour the drops in water, swirl to mix, and bottoms up. If you dont mix into a drink than your still just getting a 'topical' effect in the mouth. Way higher doses are used medically and not really any side effects. There's a bunch of studies on the forum, quotes from Ray that under several grams is fine, etc.
Anyone trying oral prog at all? My main reluctance is that I'd love to raise my T/DHT levels and I think prog is going to have the exact opposite effect.
I've tried topical progestene and added a little androsterone or T to that, but found my hair went curly and thinned at the front, no idea why...
Topical progestene alone makes my hair slightly nicer/softer with no other noticeable effects.
I'm on ORAL PROG. 100MG put into gelatin capsule before bed, once daily.
Been 2months... nothing yet, sorta feels like im thinning even more perhaps!????!?!! I'm slightly worried....
"Topical progestene alone makes my hair slightly nicer/softer with no other noticeable effects." TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
