Wow I am learning SO much tonight!!

So maybe then the sebum just increases..... which means more DHT accumulation! Of course! So it's not just SERUM dht, it's not just 5ar upregulation or quantity, it's not even just androgen sensitivity of the follicle, it's amount of sebum too! Goddayum ._. heh

What makes you so sure that sebum has anything to do with hair loss? If there were sebum in your big toe, do you think that would also affect your scalp hair follicles?

It accumulates DHT, causes inflammation, clogs the follicles and promotes fungal infections and dandruff.

IGF-1 increases sebum.

Yeah, after which it oozes out of the hair follicle onto the surface of the skin. Do you think DHT on the surface of the skin causes hair loss? Looks to me like that's actually getting rid of DHT, not accumulating it!

...clogs the follicles

Are you talking about ACNE, or hair loss?

Enough with these G**d*** supplements!

I really appreciate the people doing research but there are so many opinions on what's good it's driving me slightly MAD. I've been looking up supplements for like a week and I'm still not finished. And THEN I still have the process of weighing the pros and cons of all of them 'cause I'm not gonna take 30 pills a day.

wow same exact boat here. I wish researching supplements could just be a lot more simplistic. I've been looking these up for a few weeks and still can't decide.
