Lmao
I enjoy the fact that they know when to speak and never speak over eachother, very professional!
I have been taking it since i was 18. I am now 29. The only effects i have had is that im not bald.
Do you respond worse to it after 10 years? Still thinning now?
@@EE12345 i probably have a little less hair than i had when i started but i would have been completely bald years ago without it. I noticed severe shedding when i was 15.
@@EE12345 also now that im almost 30 it doesnt bother me near as much as it did when i was 18.
I have been taking it for 15 years only question I have does it affect your prostate?
@@bobbyking8611 hi, how was your hair at 18 and did you take it 3 times per week?
I’m fascinated by the fact that these 2 men both don’t have hairloss and made it their job. I remember 2 years ago when i had a full head of hair that i didn’t even notice it on other people if they were losing their hair at all. Never even thought about it.
The world is STARVING for high-quality, informative, fact driven and, quite frankly, entertaining content like this. Its is such a relief to hear two experts such as yourselves illuminate the topic. THANK YOU!!
(I'll be copying and pasting this comment onto all the videos I watch of yours because it's nothing short of the truth)
Cheers Doctors, I believe I am ready to go back on Finasteride after a 12 year absence. Do you recommend a daily microdose of .5mg? I'm still using minoxidil, but it's losing its efficacy sans finasteride. I hear constantly that any hair gained with minoxidil will be lost once minox is stopped, but if the follicle is still working, is it possible for it to return via finasteride (after initial fallout)? My entire hairline is intact, but there is thinning in the midfrontal region, that has only thinned out in the past 18 months. Is there a high chance of success for regrowth in this area of the scalp? Thanks and Best Regards! - Joey
On finasteride six years since age 21. Time is off the essence to act. Best decision of my 20s without a doubt. Great video
Didn’t it effect u r sex drive ?
Please answer
@@zarrkez I've been on fin 3 months so far no side effects
@@justagymcell2373 thank you
Did you have any shedding ?
And can i have my hair really long while on fin ?
First thank you both for providing such wealth of information to the public! You have reassured me on safety and effectiveness of Finasteride. You are the only doctors I found on social media that provide such clear and technical explanation on the meds which helps patient build trust in your knowledge. A clarification I did not find in your videos is whether generic finasteride is equally affective as branded Propecia?
Best, more complete and honest explanation of Finasteride in the world. Thank you doctors!!
I want to talk about antibiotics like Ofloxocine which results in bigger testicles means higher testesteron level. Well I suffered with err alopecia aretera appears on my beard & moustaches... lower legs got thinner hair also on arms and upper scalp of head ...
In the mean time I had to take Ofloxocine for tow weeks for my synosis problem. I noticed alopecia spot that was getting bigger over time start growing hair... My skin color got whiter and glowful. I don't k ow how it happened but it happened. Again I'm noticing the same pattern hair loss appearing on my moustaches... I'm sceptical whether I should continue with Ofloxocine or not because long term use of anti iotica may harm. Any suggestion?
I am so grateful for finding this channel. You guys are the best. If I ever go to Australia I will find you guys and give you a big hug.
Certainly the best propecia content I have ever watched on UA-cam . Thanks for the great information
Hello Dr Knudsen and Dr Jayaprakash I just had a question regarding Propecia versus generic Finasteride.
I know Propecia is much more expensive than generic Finasteride and the actual active ingredient in both is the same. My heart still is inclined to use Propecia. I read that sometimes although the active ingredient is the same, SOMETIMES the BINDING chemicals in the Propecia tablet is of higher quality compared to the generic drug, which CAN mean the results of the Propecia is better than the generic drug?
I read that a trial was done Propecia had better results than generic Finasteride.
Would you be able to advise?
Love your channel!
Regards
Asif
These doctors are really great ....am glat that i found them
This video is really helpful and a true credit to the dedication and commitment you both have for preventing hair loss in men. I’ve decided to try Finasteride after previously being put off, however I was concerned to read that it has caused Gynecomastia in a minority of men. I already suffer with this (mild) and wondered if either of you have seen this side effect in your patients?
What are the results after 1year of use?
Update?
Great work for community guys.
The most professional duo in Hair Loss Treatment, a subject you know they have experience in. Please keep this going guys you have great expertise and I trust both of you without even knowing you. (I generally don't just trust easily like this haha)
Thanks for that! Glad you are enjoying it!
@@TheHairLossShow Hi please give me answer in one word
does taking finasteride tablets cause cancer?
Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride.
Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise.
These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously.
Stay away from Finasteride whatever you do !!!!!
@@navalh8679 I have using Finasteride for 2 plus years and I have no side affects and I am still waiting for my paycheck from "big pharma".
Bro, there are literally hundreds of guys on reddit who have had good results without any side effects. I haven't seen as many guys complaining about the side effects though. You are just fear mongering.
Hi, I'm new here to your channel
Hope you answer my question, I'm 26 yrs old I'm also experiencing of thinning hair specially with my crown do I need to take finasteride and minoxidil to re_growth my hair??? Hope you answer me thanks in advance.
I’ve taken it since my early 20s and it’s been over 20 years constant use and still have my hair.
That’s awesome!
Amazing
Very well explained. Love these two!

Hi doctor, I got a question, what do you think to mix finasteride in the same bottle of minoxidil? Do u think could be useful?? And secure? I took finasteride for a while, but I don’t want to continue using it in that way,
GREAT podcast, rally good information and VERY WELL EXPLAINED. Ive been on finasteride for a year and havent regrowth, BUT havent loss more, so its success for me. THANK YOU!!! Subscribed
Oral finasteride or topical? You may want to switch to oral
Hello I just wanna say thanks for the advice I started taking finasteride the way you suggested three times a week. I was wondering how does this add up with the months is it three to four months from that day or the days added together from when you take the pills 3x a week thank you so much
Did you get any side effects?
Hello everyone and doctors, could you please answer me this question? In my country propecia isn't commercialized in phamarcies, so I could only buy the generic brands of finasteride. Do you guys know if the efficacity is the same? and the results are the same. Thank you community!
Hello, this was really useful. I do have two questions.
1-Finasteride is recommended for use by 18 years and older. Would it be safe for a 16 year old to use at the right dose or could it cause development problems?
2-would Finasteride be a banned substance in professional elite sports?
Many thanks to you both.
Let's say I havent lost any of my follicles it means I don't have bald spots.However , there are some areas thinning or miniaturised . Will finasteride make my hair thicken ? Thanks
How common is gyno with this drug in your research? if a person had alittle gyno when going on the drug what are the chances it would have an effect on it? I hear its low risk for gyno at 7mg aweek, as it only can raise estro levels by up to 15%. anyway would like your view on this topic since you have many that use it that sees you. thanks.
What are your thoughts on micro pigmentations for diffused thinners? I’ve been told I’m not ready for a HT yet but MSP would give me the density I’m after to take me through to when i need a HT. FYI I’m currently on 0.25mg daily finasteride for 4 months
I have been given a prescription for both Finasteride and Dutasteride. I was on Finasteride for a year but I thought there was some deterioration even tough I was not taking it regular. Should I stick with Finasteride 3 times a week at 1mg and add 0.5mg dutasteride once a week like you talked about? I've also been given a prescription for topical Minoxidil 12% with Azelaic acid. I also have the derma roller. What do you suggest Dr Russell?
I started losing hair around 21, and starting taking finasteride at around 22. I noticed reduction of hair loss after a month or two, and even some mild regrowth. At some point, I came off of it for about 6 months and I noticed a lot of shedding during that time. I came back on it and the improvements also returned. No side effects whatsoever. I'm willing to stay on it for life if it means I can even maintain the amount of hair I have right now.
If i take finasteride - lets say for 5 years.
And than i quit. Will my hairloss than be even faster? Is the hairloss than quickly on the same Level like i would have never been taken finasteride?
@@immanuelsandel6887 As far as I know you will go the the level of hair you would have if you didn't take the medicine.
What was your hairloss like before yougot on fin.?
@@rodrigobasoaltoc.1743 Bullshit thats fake news. After stopping propecia you will not lose all hairs. You will go to the point before you have started treatment.
@Sam lee did you toom finastride?
I have been using minoxidil for almost 2 years but sheding happens always may be 3-4 months even after using it regularly. So I recently added finasteride 1.25mg every alternative days. I want to quit minoxidil. So the condition wrosen or remain stable only due to use of finasteride only?
According to research Finasteride should maintain your established hairs whether they have grown naturally or from the use of minoxidil. Good day!
Great presentation!
Finas propecia is a life changer! No more suicidal tendencies for me. my hair is like 90% of my life. id rather die with hair coz you only live once here on earth.
love this channel, the best

You are still rambling on? Bro just STFU
I'm 26 and I started losing hair about 5 years ago. You just gave me so much hope. I'll start taking it 🙌🏻🙌🏻
How is the result ?
Please tell me how is the result
Get your endocrine system and health markers checked.
I suspect there's an issue with your pituitary gland.
(Not a doctor)
This is a message to everyone who is considering taking finasteride, but is afraid of the side effects:
People drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take drugs but in the end the reason for their side effects is finasteride of course.
(don't get me wrong, I am not innocent)
Our mind is our strongest muscle in the body: If you think you can achieve something in life, you will get it (Law of Attraction), if you think you will get sick, you will get sick. If you think you are using a medication that helps you with your pain, you will feel relief (placebo)
Just talk to your doctor, try finasteride out and see what happens.
People here in the comments often talk about their horror experiences, but you never know what their motivation was for writing them (Game-Theory). The reason for their decrease in sex drive could have been anything, maybe they just aged and coincidentally at the same point in time they tried finasteride. Come on. In the US approx. every second person plays lotto at least once in a year and hopes to win the jackpot, with a probability of 1: >100.000.000 but they are all scared to take finasteride because they are scared to be 1 of the 100.
1 to 100 odds are more scarier than 1 to 1000000000
@@RAHULTMNT100ok Don't take it
Hi sir this umer....i was using minoxidil plus....i had used it for almost 1 and half month ....it caused me a sevre kind of itching in my skin i have to rub mi skin with my nails can u pllz tell should i continue this r just stop it using?
I read that DHT serum levels doesn't spike up instantly on the second day of not taking finsateride. The DHT levels increase gradually "15-20 % after the second day" and so on for 3-4 days. Is this true, according to your findings? My point is that, Can I take finasteride every third day(two days gap) because I don't have a very severe hair loss and want to maintain my hair with little or no hair growth. I would be glad to to have an answer from you! Love your channel and all videos you post. Thank you!
What's your take on topical finasteride? Does it eliminate or reduce the chances of side effects? Is it as effective as oral finasteride?
I’m not an expert but I’ve heard the sides are lower then the oral version however most of dht gets converted in the liver and not on your scalp. So it’s way less effective.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart...
I STARTED TAKING FINASTERIDE because of your TRUTHFUL content.
6 weeks IN no sides, slight shedding which means it's working.
After noticing that it's not even CLOSE to being dangerous, three of my friends are now on it after talking to their physicians!
Same thing for me , they are great doctor and they don't talk BS
L coke Have you notice any results?
YESS! I started 14 days ago. I had some sides and documented the first 14 days. Just posted the video. I believe my body got used to the drug and the sides got less and less. Then I dropped the dose slightly from 1mg 3x/wk to 0.0mg 5x/wk and so far it's all good.
you dropped your dosage to 0.0 mg ...what ???
Dimitar Martinovski LoL oops. 0.5mg.
Very informative.
Nice one guys ,
Thank you for this podcast. Do we have any reliable study of effectiveness of finasteride in 10 years?
Great channel guys. Any chance for a video on monoxidil? What it does, pros/cons using it with finasteride? Thank you
Have a look at this one... ua-cam.com/video/jztEaZKVz1Y/v-deo.html

Hi doctor. Can I take Finasteride and Saw Palmetto together?
Im so happy I came across this channel. I'm 30 yrs old. I started using Minoxidil in January this year, and then after watching this video started Finasteride in March, following the 3 times a week process. Needless to say for me, the results have been absolutely amazing! I was expecting it not to get worse and stay the same, however, after 6 months I've actually gained so much hair already! It's given me so much confidence! I made a video about my experience so far and can't wait to see what my hair is like in a years time!
Congratulations dude.. This gave me confidence.. I hv started fin.. In howmany days v may see results
Praveen Medarametla after about 2 months I started noticing huge changes!
@Sasi Arsivi I am everywhere, and no where
@Sasi Arsivi well hopefully soon will be posting a new video as it’s got really long! Might start using a derma roller to help!
Any sides?
Since the tablet is enteric coated do it affect the efficacy of drug when it get spilled to get prescribed dose. Why is it enteric coated, to protect the drug form acid or to protect gastric mucosa from drug? Should I spilt the tablet

Is it true if u catch ur hairloss early age (18) and start using fin and 0.5 dutasteride for life time to maintain what u have or will u still thin slowly
Hi Dr’s, Can Finasteride cause penile shrinkage? I have read a news article reporting this. Is there any substance or truth in this side effect? If yes, would it be permanent? Thanks!
It decreases maximum growth if taken during puberty which would be permanent. If taken after puberty it wouldnt reduce size, it would reduce nitric oxide production in your junk which could affect maximum size when erect.
Can you please let us if finesteride works for women too? Thanks.
Hi doctor can I check if there are any recommended finasteride brand?
I came across finnasride 1mg Binfin (Hetero Labs). Is all the brand the same ?
Two gents being informative and not acting like doctors.
Is taking 5mg of finasteride every 2 weeks effective whilst minimizing side effects? (Similar to the 1mg x3 per week?)
Cant seem to find the 1 mg tablets where I’m from, can only get my hands on 5mg gel capsules (cant be split into smaller doses).
I’ve heard that you can do that.
I’m currently watching these episodes but I have not seen them all as of yet. Does anyone know if these doctors mention that they themselves take finasteride? Thank you for the videos. And thank you all for your replies.
Hello Dr. Is it ok to take 500mg Ashwagandha along with finasteride 1mg post dinner
Who should I go to to get checked and possibly prescribed finasteride? General practitioner? Skin dictor?
I've been taking finasteride for three months. I noticed hair on my hands, legs growing longer than before. Is that good or bad? ( sorry i use google translate)
Lol nonsense
hi would you recommend the use of Dutasteride over Finesteride
Thanks for sharing this information. Real Respect. Kudos!
Hello. Question, I started my alopecia journey with Rogaine which is obviously a mistake because I didn't know better at the time. I know I have to keep using minoxidil to maintain the hairs I've grown . However I recently started finasteride. Will the finasteride make my hairs thicker? Will certain areas regrow? Would appreciate your insight. Thank you and love the videos.
Hi I hope u'r okay ! Can you tell us if u have any sides 7 months later ? Thanks a lot
@@euskaliban6587 the hair is still there However its not perfect. My hairline didnt really comeback with fin alone. However my hair did become thicker and healthier. For the hairline i use micro needling and rogaine. I haven’t been that consistent with the rogaine lately so I dont have a definite result. However im strongly considering doing a hair transplant soon. While staying on Finasteride. I had absolutely 0 side effects . I would recommend
@@liamvanramshorst774 Thanks man ! Take care
So if i feel a daily dose of 1mg finasteride for 7 months now has promoted dry eye syndrome. Would i beable to straight away regulate the dose to say, monday, thursday and sunday? Instead of taking a months break. Would that be beneficial?
Any libido sides effects ؟
@@playernoob6493 No, no change in that department.
This was an awesome video! I have a question if you can so kindly answer me. Does the drug Interact with alcohol?
Only drink good wine..... That's just my general reccomendation and has nothing to do with Finasteride.
@@TheHairLossShow how about whisky?
Great show . I started Finasteride and Dutasteride very early before any hair loss at all . But my key question I wonder if you can cover : What do you think about taking 1000 mg pure niacin . to boost blood flow to the scalp ( and everywhere else ) . Surely that must help alongside fitness regimes . I’m 62 and have a full head of thick hair .
Q. If you take fenastaride and testosterone (steroid) at the same time do u risk your estrogrn going to high?
Dr does topical finasteride mixed with minoxidil better than oral Finasteride? Please kindly reply
Depends on the individual. Certain people tolerate the different forms better.
Reflex HyperAndrogenety. Dr. Can you please talk about this. Is it common? Can Finasteride cause it? Im ok with a " normal shed ". But a hardcore shed that can accelerate your hair loss its too much for me. Im thinking in jumping on Finasteride but im really apreensive because of this.
So fenastride after 5 years will stop its affecting in our body??i hope u reply please
Can you combine topical finasteride and oral finasteride?
Great video as always guys, really appreciate it. I live in the UK and (like you) I made the mistake of using regaine first; I’ve been using it for around 6 months.
I want to use finasteride however my doctor said that as I’ve only been using regaine for 6 months, they’re reluctant to give me finasteride until a year of using regaine!
What are your thoughts on this?
Keep up the great content!
It's exactly the same condition as mine, any updates now?
Hi, Doctors.
Love the channel. Quick question: Can creatine be taken with finasteride? If creatine is known to increase DHT and thus speed up MPB, can finasteride negate these effects? would they be safe to take together?
Thank you!
yes, as a gym rat, I am wondering the same!
I’m wondering the same. As much as they say creatine is widely researched, not many have tested this. So I took it on my own to test. I took a DHT blood test prior to getting on creatine. My DHT level was 15. Once I’ve been on creatine for 1 month I will test for my DHT level Again, and check.
@@filterhead22 Exactly, people just make reference to the same study on the group of rugby players. More research needs to be done. I really feel like I'm missing out on gains in the gym from not supplementing creatine. Please let me know your findings, my friend. Thank you.
@@filterhead22 result?
Would it make sense to take when experiencing long term stress? I havent slept properly for a year now, and i think my hair is thinning. If my genetics has chosen that i should go bald later, well fair i guess, but thinking of starting this until i can be normal and healthy again..
I am taking 1mg Finasteride every other day. Does it make any difference if I am taking 1mg every other day versus taking 0,5 mg daily?
Does taking zinc while on Finasteride lower the risk of side effects related to estrogen like Gyno and if I took it with Fin , will it lower the efficiancy of Fin and wont give the Fin the best results?!
Update? You taking fin? Any side effects?

İ’d like to ask question to Dr. Jayaprakash, do you take finasterid ? İf so how long have you taking it ? Thanks sir
Dr's I am not over weight, I don't drink or smoke. I had surgery for Gyno in 2012 when I was 22 years old. My Gyno came back by 2016 and the surgeon said it's probably down to using Propecia (which I only took for 6 weeks) for hair loss. This put me off using any drugs for hairloss. I had surgery for Gyno a second time in 2016 when I was 26 years old. My Gyno has come back again but without taking Propecia or any drugs/vitamins what so ever. Do you think I should give Propecia another go as my Gyno has come back without taking Propecia and hair has been slowly thinning over the last 10 years?
Have they removed the gland twice or just using lipo to remove excess fat? If the gland is mostly removed then it would he incredibly difficult for anything to regrow it.
Why when i read the leaflet when it arrived does it say it will lower testosterone and lower fertility and shrink prostate? Good video by the way it's nice to see it from a scientific point of view.
So finasteride may stabilise, is it possible it could allow some regrowth? Great channel by the way. Very informative.
It really depends on the degree of hair loss. If you have some mild miniaturisation, then it is possible for that to thicken up again. But once a hair is gone, it's gone. Glad you are enjoying the content. Feel free to subscribe, plenty more to come.
Does all your hair (not just the new/regrown/saved hair, etc) fall out when you stop taking Finasteride?
Are finasteride tablets actually divisible? The package insert says not to do it, but the reason is that women could otherwise come into contact with the active ingredient. If you disregard that, shouldn't it be possible?
Hello Dr
Can you do a video about tofacitinibe for hair loss?
Should I not be taking my 1ml a day and only doing it three times a week?
I just started on propecia 1 mg I feel good except a slight headache here and there and sometimes I feel my head warm like maybe a fever but is this just my body adjusting ???
You might find that this probably settles.
Hey can u plz tell me how long it took to stop hairfall
Hey! I just started today and I have the slight headache/warm head too. Did it go away after you body adjusted?
@@christianacosta_ Hey, how are u after 6 months ?
Thank you both of you for a truthful explanation of finasteride. Your podcasts are GREAT! I've been on prescribed TRT for 6 years at 100 mg per week. My PSA level fluctuates between 3.5 -4.1 over the same period. Recently my Dr prescribed finasteride for obvious hair loss. Will this help reduce my PSA level over time? I'm just concerned with my PSA readings. Thanks so much!
Everything is fine. Reduced my dosage in half and hopefully things will stabilized. Last blood work few weeks ago PSA was at 3.5.
Is there any point in using a blocker shampoo if I am on Fin?
I don't see a significant additional benefit.
Can I crush or divide the propecia 1mg pills even though it says on the box to not do that?
Hi, i read some articles that Finasteride may lead to higher risk of high grade prostate cancer. May i get your comment about this? Thanks
I started taking finasteride about 3 months ago and i'm still microdosing it. Now i'm shedding and i know it's a normal part of the process but still it puts doubts in my mind about the effectivenes of the drug...
Everytime i get doubtful i watch some of your videos again and they really help to get me reassured.
I want to thank both of you for this information that you're putting out for free because without you i still wouldn't be on finasteride :)
@@omarbass3843 i didnt count, its more than 100 probably
When I was shedding I was losing maybe 50-70 hairs a day. But then my hair stabilized and I’m glad I stuck to it. On my 4th month now and my hair is denser and no longer shedding. Guys, don’t get discouraged. Pop it daily and give it ATLEAST 6 months.
Do you consult to doctor before taking finasteride?
Do you take a total of 3.5 mg monday-sunday?

Just ordered some, will do 3x a week after this video even though the prescribing doctor told me there is no solid studies on that dose and he wants me at 7x a week.

I´ve been using a Shampoo which is said to have minoxidil and finasteride, I only apply it for 2 -3 minutes and then wash it out, does that has the same effect as taking finasteride orally or is it different?
no shampoo doesn't have significant effect
Dr. The sooner you treat baldness, the better? I'm 17 years old and I started taking finasteride for baldness, my hair wasn't falling out exaggeratedly but the entries in the front were big and I had some fine hairs, I started taking finasteride 1 month ago but it started to fall out a lot, but I saw on the internet that it's normal in the first 3 months there is a "shedding" in the first few months is this really normal?? I'll keep taking it forever at least I won't go bald skksks if I manage to at least keep what I have until one day I get an implant in the entrances, I'll be happy, it really sucks, I'm in my last year of school sometimes I'm ashamed to go, I don't even go to recess with low self-esteem, I go to the bike service, I keep turning my neck so I don't hit the wind and mess up my hair... but I'm very persistent, I've been on Minoxidil for 1 year, even not giving me results, people saying this and that, I won't give up, now I started with finasteride and everything is going to be ok the last thing that dies is hope, Faith... Dr thanks for the motivating videos, may God continue to bless you always and your family.
did the inital shed stop? if yes, how long it took?
whats the condition called if baby hair grows very thin and comes out very soon keeping white bulb in the bottom
Hi, I’m looking to start finasteride again..can I ask you mentioned finasteride does not have any affect on the brain but does this not stop neuro steroids working and cause depression? Feeling a little frightened at the moment, thanks for any advice you can give
Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride.
Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise.
These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously.
Stay away from Finasteride whatever you do !!!!!
As someone with a diagnosis of depression, it hasn't affected me negatively and I've taken it for 6 months so far. Felt a bit better because I don't see clumps of hair falling out, I do not look good bald lol. Talk to your doctor, talk to a dermatologist about your concerns and go from there
@@navalh8679 hi I got to know that u used more than a year & what side effects u got & did they went away ?
I have been using finasteride for almost a year and it has stopped further hair loss and even some regrowth in thickness. I started pretty early , so my crown area is full and only have some (nothing major) losses on the front.
Would adding dutesteride once a week benefit me at all?
Is there a risk of losing hair if I combined both after I have been on only finasteride.
How many mg of finasteride do you take per week?
Any sides?
@@rapture_soon
I have been taking it daily for what is soon 2 years i think...no sides for me that are significant. I suggest taking blood test done...I did twice within these last 2 years and its normal values. Hair situation is table and my hair looks better then it did when I first started.
@@AmonEKO 1mg each day (1 pill a day)
So theoretically this means that taking fin can also help with hair loss caused by low T..correct?
