The real reason finasteride boost hair growth in some people is because of the free testosterone increase of about 10 to 15% which is remarkable. Free testosterone ,DHEA, progesterone, thyroid, are things that help boost hair growth.... Finasteride chemically inactivates five alpha reductase in the liver, boosting testosterone and estrogen, which are the only other pathways. So you get some hair, at the expense of decreased erection and semen quality.. erection needs DHT and some of the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins such as prostaglandin e1 and e3. Finasteride by increasing testosterone increases hair growth.So it has now been 7 months and I don't have significant results to write home about. My hair might be a little bit better, maybe, but it's really hard to tell. It definitely hasn't gotten worse, that I can say. Part of me wonders if you need a similar time frame to finasteride, I.E. 1 year plus, to see results. Might pack this experiment up for now. I have some fin sitting around from last year, never touched. I know pretty much everyone posting here is against the drug, but I've tried literally every other non-traditional approach with limited results and it fully leaves the system in 90 days. Going to trial 3mg a week and see what happen. I'm 35, **** it.
