My Observation Of Effects Of Gla On A 70 Year Old

I think that’s a good idea. Have you considered tocotrienols? I’ve been using it for 3 months and my hair isn’t shedding.
I haven't heard much about tocotrienols. Do you have any links to information or studies about them? What do they do and how much do you advise taking? Topically or orally?
I'm not exactly shedding significantly, it's more miniaturization and thinning. Had any results with thinning/miniaturization?
Effects of Tocotrienol Supplementation on Hair Growth in Human Volunteers
Studies have shown an association between oxidative stress and alopecia. Patients with alopecia generally exhibit lower levels of antioxidants in their scalp area as well as a higher lipid peroxidation index. Tocotrienols belong to the vitamin E family ...

34.5% increase after 8 months. That was 100mg daily. I’m taking 125mg. It proving to be a very good growth stimulant. To be honest I think the grape seed extract I started taking is helping my shed. I’ve had problems with circulations my whole life. Cold hands and feet for hours after I came in from the icy weather. Rest of my body warms up. Grape seed has helped that. Perhaps I’m getting more circulation to them follicles now

Interesting, thanks for sharing mate. Which supplement/s are you taking? Can you post the name or link of the supplement you use?

What are you guys thoughts on GLA which is found in Evening Primrose Oil as a natural treatment to reduce DHT? Everything I see always says it's a potent 5AR inhibitor. GLA specifically inhibits the 5AR isoenzymes Type 1 and 2, which is the same targets as Dutasteride.
"GAMMA LINOLENIC ACID, ALPHA LINOLENIC ACID AND LINOLEIC ACID
In the following studies, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) and Linoleic Acid were shown to be the most potent known inhibitors of type 1 and 2 forms of 5-alpha reductase, and highly effective in decreasing the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), when applied topically. More importantly, this is accomplished without causing any systemic effects. "

I was taking it.. They do help hair. U will experience a mild finasteride side effect such as loss of libido and mood depressive@Pigeon @MikeJay @Jeju

I haven’t tried these and I’ll probably pass if you experienced those sides.

I’ve used GLA for a while now. I take the pumpkin seed complex they used in those studies. I think it can’t hurt.
I've only noticed a slight reduction in Libido, but not as bad as Finasteride, so surely it does inhibit 5AR, no depression or any other symptoms so far.
When you say it helps hair, what did you experience? Any thickening, maintenance or regrowth? Did you experience any thinning or shedding before seeing benefits?
Yeah so far it's only mild reduction in libido but that is almost a give and take with 5-ARIS, I'd be more interested in the topical version that they mentioned in the studies I linked which they found not to have any side effects due to it not going systemic.

My father used to take fish oil pulos. And he had a juvenile hairline at 70. Don't Think It has sonething to do with It.
The sides are mild and nothing majorb and it's a good indicator that the regime is working. Try it.
The topical version is what I'm interested in. Since there's a much lower probability of getting sides but we know that GLA is a 5-ARI.
Not sure where to get topical GLA though.
It is included in Lipogaine lotions.
Have you used any Lipogaine products?
I am using them yes, too early to tell if I got results. They are nice, especially Lipogaine Sensitive.
Which products are you using from Lipogaine and how long have you been using them?
