Saw palmetto is actually a 5ar inhibitor, it works like finasteride but you'll need a bigger dose for the same effect. Biotin and Zinc don't help with hair loss as supplement but some people swear by Zix, basically a homemade Biotin and Zinc lotion.
Thank you , I have no signs of balding as of now but my father lost his hair in his early 30s. So I am just taking early precautions maybe I can keep my head of hair for abit longer . I started taking biotin pills 10000mg is that a large enough of a dose ?

Just eat lots of healthy fruits and vegetables, about nine servings per day. Good protein sources like fish, chicken or eggs. Never eat processed foods, or refined sugars. Preferably organic foods only. No fried foods. Google Mediterranean diet that is the healthiest food you can eat.

I have been seeing a beggar in my locality for last 10 years. He sometimes sleep empty stomach and he is been malnourished since I first saw him. Guess what?
He has full head of jet black hairs and I don't think he had undergone a hair transplant recently.
Diet,vitamins has nothing to do with male pattern hairloss. It is f**** ed genes you have that plays it's cards when it is their turn.

Calorie restriction is linked to longevity. Those on a lower calorie diet tend to live longer than someone on a high calorie diet. Fasting has tons of benefits too, including the lowering of inflammation.
Chill dude, if you take care of yourself and eat nutrient rich food your hair would be much more healthy ,when I had a terrible diet my hair felt much wispy and oily as soon as I started taking my diet more seriously after a few months it looked much healthier and my curls looked much fuller . At the end of the day if you do go bald at least you'll have a healthy and fit body to make up for the lack of hair ,everyone loves a muscular bearded man haha so no worries.

Nobody denied diets role. But it is nowhere near game changer. Humans are evolved to tolerate malnutrition and deficiencies in the time of famine.so just subnormal level of few bodily vitamins dosent cause male pattern baldness or wispy hair. Today most people keeps their vitals near optimal levels than ever before but the diseases are still there and increasing. Genes ,junk DNA and morphic fields plays role in pathogenesis of many diseases and cosmetic issues.
That's all very true genes do predetermine weather you go bald or not ,a healthy diet with the adequate doses of vitamins and minerals will keep your hair healthy. I am not talking about a few weeks or months but around a year of terrible high sugar saturated fat diet hair felt much healthier after starting a nutrient rich diet . I agree if you're clearly at the late stages of balding nutrition won't do squat in terms of hair growth or thickening of hair, might reduce inflammation in hair follicles on your scalp but that's about it

Go ahead and try to refute my points instead of disliking it. Good luck because there is strong scientific evidence supporting what I posted.

Hairloss due to androgen in males is least complex polygenic trait. Androgens through faulty Androgen receptors upregulates TGF b1 in dermal papillae . TGF b1 then inhibits keratinocytes differentiation which in turn miniaturise hair.
Tell me vitamins role in this process of miniaturization.

What a gross oversimplification of the cascade lol. Also stop thinking it's vitamins when diet is referred to. Ultimate cause of hair loss is inflammation in the scalp causing an immune response. If you don't think diet has an effect on inflammation you are welcome to search up the multitude of studies.
Healthier hair and game changer are two different things. The op wasn't asking to grow his hair back. Bald or not a healthy diet will change the look and feel of someones hair. That beggars hair would probably be even more luxurious if he took care of himself.

It’s hard not to eat wheat and some dairy! Any recipe tips?
Your argument here is if someone has allergies they should change their diet since what you eat can cause inflammatory responses. How many people have cured their allergies by changing their diets? The androgens cause the inflammation just like he is describing.
Women that eat poor diets do not go bald. Women dont go bald why? male hormones. Its not inflammation, air pollution, no fap, or your diet. Its your hormones (mostly) that you have no control over and they change as you age naturally.

You are oversimplifying things. Androgens remain the mediator for inflammation while also inhibiting WNT expression. However, just because it is a major contributor does not negate the other factors. It's not black and white when it comes to polygenic diseases.
Also women go bald. They also suffer from androgenic alopecia. So I ask you why they do when they have much lesser quantities of AR, 5ar, and much more aromatase than men? In addition to their ridiculously low androgen production compared to males. Because of set extreme sensitivity to androgens despite the lack of other androgenic traits?
There is increasing evidence that the increase in allergies and autoimmune diseases are linked to the western inflammatory diet and gut flora alterations. These things are hard to reverse when people undergo these conditions since youth.
There are also published studies showing dietary factors influence inflammatory factors. There are studies showing your diet can affect hormone production. There are also studies showing high blood pressure causes systemic increases in inflammatory factors. In addition are multitude of epidemiological studies published by top journals showing Androgenetic Alopecia is linked to heart disease, metabolic syndrome and prostate cancer. Is it even an argument at this point?

With do athletes with amazing diets go bald because there are LOTS of them? Look at lebron james you mean to tell me he eats crap full of inflammatory factors making him go bald? What about prisons where men live 30 years all eating regulated diets? Wouldnt all the inflammatory factors from this be equal so we should see very similar styles of balding. We do not!
Diet influence inflammation? Sure, but how much? A tiny bit, a lot, a ton? If your claiming diet is important it should show very strong influences on how male pattern baldness plays out in men and women. Where are these results? I dont see them
"So I ask you why they do when they have much lesser quantities of AR, 5ar, and much more aromatase than men? "
They Dont! that is my whole point. The difference in hair loss between men and women of equal age is astronomically higher in men.The whole point here is its androgens doing this, and not diet or your "inflammatory factors" other than DHT. If they are what one has the most significant effect and what study shows this alone is a culprit? Some vague study showing male pattern baldness changing does not prove much of anything its super complicated polygenic trait. Yet DHT and male hormones ALONE can almost stop male pattern baldness in 90 percent of men! This is amazing result.
Anyways I am done arguing on this. I just havent seen results from any factors that a person can control on their own. No man I have ever seen on here has had before/after pictures where they regrew tons of hair by changing anything other than adding drugs.
