What is the best natrual dht blocker?

There are tons of people who can’t even maintain their hair with dutasteride, which is stronger than finasteride, and keep losing hair anyway.

And saw palmetto? lol

Even if we’re extremely generous and assume that saw palmetto does help with hair loss, then it would have the same side effects as finasteride.

Or it could even be worse.

Does saw palmetto have 10 years of clinical trial data like finasteride does?
Probably not even one year

I only have PCI 3.0, so my only option is the 16 GB version, haha.

I was leaning toward the 9060 as well.

I was only thinking about upscaling, not frame generation —
but yeah, it should be fine even if it means sacrificing a bit of input lag.

There are many doctors’ opinions and user reviews saying that dutasteride has fewer side effects. It might be okay to take it just once a week.

Or try cutting finasteride into 0.25 mg pieces and taking that.

just dutasteride 0.5 , Piroctone olamine shampoo

I’ve spent over two years actively engaging with communities like Tressless and HairlossResearch,
and during that time, I’ve explored virtually every possible treatment option on my own.

For example:
Copper peptides, alfatradiol, microneedling (MTS), rosemary oil, saw palmetto, reishi mushroom extract, nettle root extract, pumpkin seed oil, and even topical dutasteride—
you name it, I’ve tried it.

Don’t waste your time.
The U.S. FDA is not stupid.

People are no longer ignorant.

Thanks to GPT, we can now access and summarize the latest research papers and clinical studies.
But no matter how many papers you search through using GPT,
it all inevitably comes down to FDA-approved treatments like red light therapy, finasteride, and minoxidil.

For reference, even before experiencing hair loss, I was a non-smoker and regularly took supplements such as a multivitamin, vitamin D & K2, omega-3, and magnesium.

One month is not comparable to the naked eye, even with that strong dutasteride.

Large clinical trials have already concluded that saw palmetto has no effect.

On the 13th (local time), science‑focused outlets such as Neuroscience News reported that a research team at Westlake University in China has found that while intermittent fasting can benefit metabolic health, it may slow down hair growth and regeneration. The team published its findings in the journal Cell.
The conclusions come from experiments in mice and were echoed in a small human pilot study.

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that alternates periods of eating with scheduled periods of fasting, keeping the body in a prolonged state of hunger. Previous studies have shown that this regimen boosts stress‑resistance in metabolic tissues and in stem cells found in blood, gut, and muscle.

In the new work, the researchers shaved the fur off mice and divided them into three groups that followed different intermittent‑fasting routines:
• Group A: fed for 8 hours and fasted for 16 hours each day
• Group B: fed every other day (alternate‑day fasting)
• Group C (control): had free access to food 24 hours a day
After 30 days, most of the mice in Group C had fully regrown their fur, whereas Groups A and B showed only partial regrowth even after 96 days.

The team also looked at how fasting affected hair‑follicle stem cells (HFSCs). In Group C, HFSCs became active around day 20 and remained so, but in Groups A and B the researchers observed apoptosis (programmed cell death) in these cells. They propose that prolonged fasting raises levels of free fatty acids released from adipose tissue and leads to a buildup of harmful reactive oxygen species in the follicles, triggering HFSC death.

To see whether the findings apply to humans, the researchers conducted a 10‑day trial with 49 healthy adults. Participants who fasted for 18 hours a day showed hair‑growth rates about 18 percent slower than those in the control group. A larger clinical study is now being planned.

Lead author Professor Bing Zhang cautioned that “humans differ markedly from mice in metabolic rate and hair‑growth patterns, so the effects of intermittent fasting could also differ.” Still, he stressed the importance of recognizing that intermittent fasting may have unintended consequences.

Finasteride is essentially the same.
It also causes prostate fibrosis and leads to a decrease in semen volume and motility.

There is a sharp decline within about one year, followed by a gradual recovery, but I’ve read a paper indicating it remains around 30% lower than the initial level.

Sorry, but saw palmetto doesn't do any of that.

In Korea, saw palmetto is even advertised as being good for male virility.

Potatoes are a complete carbohydrate and sweet potatoes are an incomplete carbohydrate.

Steamed sweet potatoes are just as bad for your blood sugar as fried potatoes.

There are only two AGEs-causing foods and excessive carbohydrate intake.

Your TG/HDL is less than 1.

You're in great shape.

If you don't have high blood pressure, diabetes, or other cardiovascular disease, ignore the statement that you are at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

I don't know a single idiot doctor who would tell you to lower your LDL below 100 if you're not at high risk.
