Propecia and Scientific Biotin, currently receiving help for ongoing hair loss management for my husband

Once, I sat on the sofa seriously watching the news.

I was talking with my husband, and he came over and said,

It means that your hair has become much thinner.

So, when I looked directly in the mirror, I saw that not only had I become thinner, but also,

The crown of the head looked very bald.

Anyway, my husband's family has a long-standing tradition.

Because of the hair loss gene... if I leave it as it is,

I feel like my crown of hair is going to disappear.

I found a hair loss medication.

 

 

Which is better for hair loss medication, Propecia or Avodart?

I have given it a lot of thought. There is a perception that hair loss medication is really a strong drug.

Since it was embedded, I decided to research properly and choose carefully.

 

First, Propecia. The main ingredient is Finasteride.

This is a medication developed for the treatment of prostate enlargement.

Taking Propecia as a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia

A hair growth effect was observed in the meantime, and since then

It is said to have been sold and used as a hair loss treatment.

 

What is the mechanism of action of Propecia?

When the male hormone testosterone is converted into DHT

Hair loss occurs.

At this time, finasteride

It inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

This is the principle of hair loss treatment.

 

 

Avadart is also similar to Propecia.

They have the same mechanism of action.

What is the difference between Propecia and Avodart?

It means that the main components are different.

Many people initially take Propecia.

When the effect does not appear

Because I was taking it as a substitute for Abadate.

I have also decided to try Propecia.

 

No matter how much it is called a hair loss treatment,

It is said that effects will appear after taking it for more than three months.

Someday, my hair will thicken and grow.

Thinking that way, patiently and diligently every day.

It has been instructed to take the medication.

 

I took it for about four months.

The number of hairs falling out has significantly decreased.

But the important thing is the hair growth I want.

There was no facilitation effect.

It's the same medication that other people with hair loss also take.

Why does it only have no effect on my husband?

Should I switch to Abadote?

I pondered and searched through all the information about Propecia.

 

Administration of finasteride to 126 male patients

As a result of a five-year long-term observational study, hair loss progression was suppressed.

The ratio is about 98%, and hair loss improvement is approximately 85%.

 

Most medications are effective in suppressing hair loss progression during long-term use.

It has been received, but there may be no noticeable effect on hair loss improvement.

It was that it exists.

 

If you stop taking Propecia that you are currently using

Cases of people who have lost even the remaining hair they had.

A sudden idea came to mind when I was in a situation where I couldn't do either because there was too much.

Should I finally switch to Avodart?

 

However, the side effects of Avodart are

It was more serious than the side effects of Propecia.

 

Cases of side effects caused by Avodart over the past 10 years

They say it has increased by 125%.

Breast tenderness, erectile dysfunction, decline in sexual function, depression, breast enlargement, etc.

The risk of side effects from Avodart.

I thought it would be difficult to review and take it.

 

So I grasped at straws.

Ultimately, taking biotin supplements and Propecia together

I decided to try taking it.

 

From this point on, her husband also joined a hair loss community.

I was actively involved.

And now, when you look at the before and after photos

It has been alleviated to the point of a stark contrast.

Please focus carefully, as this is now a really important part.

 

Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin.

Keratin protein that influences hair growth

These are the main ingredients that provide supplementation.

 

There was also beer yeast.

The most commonly taken supplement by people with hair loss

Biotin was undoubtedly the best.

Biotin is a supplement, not a medication.

Hair loss treatments are much safer compared to hair loss medications.

 

However, biotin also had side effects.

It doesn't appear to everyone, but most people do not pay attention to it.

It was a side effect caused by intake.

 

Supplements have varying contents.

Therefore, you can select the product with the desired capacity.

 

However, there is an appropriate amount of biotin.

Because it is a water-soluble vitamin, its bioavailability is low.

Because it has distinctive features

Approximately only about 50% of the biotin content taken is used.

Unused content is excreted through urine.

Therefore, it is not simply for the purpose of supplementing nutrients.

If the goal is to improve hair loss, you need to take a sufficient amount.

 

However, among some overseas products

There is also biotin with a content of 5,000 mcg.

Because it is based on Western countries with lenient food regulations

High-dose biotin like this

It is an intake amount of biotin that is not suitable for Koreans.

I can do it.

 

What is the appropriate intake amount of biotin for hair loss improvement?

It is sufficient to consume only 800 to 1,200 mcg.

 

 

To take biotin, also take a pantothenic acid supplement.

Biotin supplement containing two ingredients in one capsule

You just need to choose.

 

When taking only the biotin ingredient alone,

It undergoes the same absorption pathway within the body.

It conflicts with the pantothenic acid component.

Because the amount of biotin has increased, it is in a higher state.

Pantothenic acid component may also be deficient.

 

Pantothenic acid is a component responsible for regulating sebum.

Deficiency causes skin troubles.

Ultimately, if you take biotin, skin trouble side effects

It is also necessary to take pantothenic acid together to prevent it.

 

Finally,

The most fatal side effect of biotin intake

It is diabetes mellitus.

 

Taking biotin occasionally is beneficial.

It is good for preventing diabetes.

 

However, biotin taken for the purpose of improving hair loss

It is a high-content product, and if taken for a long period of time

Insulin metabolism may actually decrease, leading to diabetes.

I did it.

 

To get straight to the point, chromium components also

It's essential.

 

The ingredient effective for diabetes is banaba leaf extract.

There are also components of Korosol Mountain.

Which component is involved in insulin metabolism rather than blood sugar?

Chromium is the only ingredient.

 

In summary

 

1. Concurrent use of Propecia and Biotin

2. At this time, the biotin content ranges from 800 to 1,200 mcg.

Contains pantothenic acid and chromium

 

It's been a while since I chose and took an appropriate biotin supplement based on what I studied.

It has been about a year now.

 

If it's about effectiveness...

It didn't appear quickly because it's not a medication.

 

However, it has been taken concurrently with Propecia and Biotin.

I was eating it compulsively around the fifth month without even thinking about it.

At some moment, on the husband's crown reflected in the mirror

There were thick, prominent little tricks, and I was moved.

 

If Propecia has prevented the progression of hair loss

Does biotin really promote hair growth?

I had that feeling.

 

Especially, studying about side effects one by one.

There have been no significant issues so far after long-term use.

I am very satisfied.

 

A photo I took to show my husband

This is so useful, haha.
