“In two one-year trials involving 1,553 men, daily finasteride increased hair counts and improved patient, investigator, and photographic assessments compared with placebo. Participants who continued into a second blinded year maintained the benefit.”

“As we age, our hair changes: It often turns gray and becomes finer, and it might even fall out—permanently. There are seemingly millions of hair care products available, and many of them contain chemicals that may harm our hair or, even worse, harm our health. In this Aliquot, I explore the various ways to prevent hair loss and promote healthy hair.”

“A small observational study mapped pigmentation along individual hairs and documented natural repigmentation in some participants. Changes in several hairs tracked periods of higher or lower perceived stress, while protein patterns in gray hairs pointed toward altered mitochondrial and energy-metabolism pathways.”

“Creatine did not produce a significant difference in dihydrotestosterone, hair density, follicular-unit count, or cumulative hair thickness compared with placebo. The direct measurements address the original concern more closely than the earlier surrogate result.”

“Photobiomodulation: The Clinical Applications of Low-Level Light Therapy. Photobiomodulation devices for hair regrowth and wound healing: a therapy full of promise but a literature full of confusion. The use of lasers and light sources in skin rejuvenation.”

“Compared to baseline measurements, there was no difference in serum zinc levels for any of the supplemental forms. Zinc levels in hair increased 4.5 percent, and levels in erythrocytes increased 20 percent after zinc supplementation, compared to baseline measurements.”

“Furthermore, psilocybin enhanced some physical features of the mice, including improvements in fur quality, hair growth, and less white hair and hair greying. So not only did they live longer, but they looked younger too.”

“Whereas some evidence suggests that high levels of DHT are associated with androgenetic alopecia, the role of increased DHT in hair loss has been questioned by others. Conclusion Creatine participates in a wide variety of physiological functions.”

“Creatine supplementation has long been shrouded in myths and misconceptions, ranging from dehydration and kidney damage to hair loss. In Aliquots #131 and #133, leading researcher Dr. Darren Candow and I examined creatine's benefits for muscle quality, physical function, skeletal health, and brain resilience, especially in older adults.”
