New member here and this is my first post. I used to take 1-AD as a junior in high school, back in 2002. I remember GNC used to sell the product in a yellow tint container with 60 capsules or so. They recommended taking 3 tablets/day to see results. If I recall correctly, I think I only purchased 2 containers and stopped.
Anyways, I graduated high school and started college. I noticed my hair thinning at the temples in 2005 or so. It's 12 years later, since taking 1-AD, and my temples have receded a good amount and there is diffuse thinning through the top of the scalp and crown.
I have a feeling that taking the 1-AD is causing this. I've been doing research, but wanted to clarify and get the proper answer.
+ 1-AD gets converted to 1-Test, which is aka dihydroboldenone via 5a-reductase mechanism. Propecia/Finasteride can work here.
+ 1-Test gets converted to DHT via some unknown pathway, where Propecia/Finasteride won't work.
However, can't P/F be effective for the first statement? I know that steroids have their side effects of acne, gyno, etc etc, but the side effect of male pattern baldness - would it still persist after over a decade of no use?
I'm currently using minoxidil 5% foam, and going to start back up on nizoral 2% shampoo. Was thinking of using a spironolactone cream on the scalp. In addition, using the RU58861 compound, since it seems to be an irreversible competitor for DHT.
