An Alternative to Propecia?

Is HR23+ a good alternative to Finasteride? Finasteride is a drug for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern baldness. It is a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor; 5α-reductase, an enzyme, converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. The most common form of finasteride is the tablet form prescription drug, Propecia . The success rate of Propecia, for male pattern baldness, is impressive, but if you've done a bit of research on this drug, you'll be aware of the potential side-effects. The most common side-effects of finasteride include erectile dysfunction, outbreaks of spots, severe depression and mental paranoia. Many patients have reported continued side-effects, even after they have stopped using the drug. It's not surprising that many men are looking for effective alternatives to finasteride, in order to beat hair loss safely, without any nasty side-effects that have devastated so many lives. But is there a safe hair loss treatment that is as e

What is Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)?

What is DHT and How Does it Cause Hair Loss? DHT, which stands for Dihydrotestosterone (5α-Dihydrotestosterone), is a male sex hormone, an androgen. 5α-reductase, an enzyme, synthesizes DHT in the adrenal glands, hair follicles, testes and prostate. Male and female adults can lose hair as a consequence of changes in the metabolism of androgen in the body - men more commonly than women. DHT plays a major role in hair loss. Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenic alopecia orandrogenetic alopecia, is caused by the hair follicle's sensitivity to DHT. The follicles miniaturise (shrink), resulting in a shorter lifespan and the abnormal production of hair. How can DHT be prevented? The most well known treatment that has been proven to slow down and prevent hair loss is Finasteride (otherwise known as Propecia). Although this prescription drug has a good record with users, it does contain the high risk of nasty side-effects such as erectile dysfunction and skin irritati

What Exactly is Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF)?

Can Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) really slow down balding and maintain healthy hair growth? The Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), also known as FGF7, is a growth factor present in the epithelialization-phase of wound healing. In this phase, keratinocytes are covering the wound, forming the epithelium. KGF is a small signalling molecule that binds to fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b). For signalling to occur, a dimer is required between two FGF:FGFR complexes that is linked together by a molecule of heparin. There are 23 known FGFs, and 4 FGF receptors. FGF:FGFR binding is complex and regulated by a variety of mechanisms in a tissue specific manner. FGF10 is also known as "Keratinocyte growth factor 2". KGF is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family and has been found to stimulate hair growth. Our cells respond to KGF because they have receptors on the cell membrane that recognise this growth factor, which is normally present in our body but whic

Does HR23+ Actually Stop Hair Loss?

How effective is HR23+ for beating hair loss? Let's face it, when any new hair loss treatment enters the market, it's easy to be sceptical about it. Many hair loss treatment brands make obscene claims and promises that simply cannot be true. HR23+ does not in any way shape or form claim to be a miracle formula for hair loss. If you've lost your very last hair and the top of your head resembles the palm of your hand, then this, as well as any other hair supplement, won't magically regrow you a full head of hair. It would be somewhat foolish to believe that - and don't be surprised how many people live in hope. Hope can be a destructive emotion - and an expensive one at that! So what claims does HR23+ actually make? Well, as mentioned above, if you're completely bald then don't bother wasting your hard earned money on HR23+. Go and see a hair surgeon and get the appropriate advice needed for your dilemma. This supplement won't magically regrow all

Can Saw Palmetto Stop Hair Loss?

Saw Palmetto and its connection with Blocking DHT Saw palmetto is a plant with small berries that has been used by Native Americans as medicine and food for hundreds of years. There is evidence that this herbal remedy may treat an enlarged prostate. It also has been used to treat hair loss, bladder infections, prostate cancer, and decreased sexual drive. Research on the effectiveness of saw palmetto in treating hair loss is promising. An extract of saw palmetto berries may block 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.  DHT is the molecule responsible for hair loss, and also is involved in the enlargement of the prostate. The components of saw palmetto that block the enzyme work in a similar way as the synthetic ingredients in prescription medication for hair loss. A study was taken for men with moderate cases of male pattern baldness where they were given a saw palmetto oral supplement to take twice daily for a few months. When asked to rate their bald
