I haven't taken any pics but there is no change in shedding of my hair, the thickness is also the same. I'm going to give it a few months to really see if there's any change but I doubt it will, the only thing it did do is increase my already sky high libido so I can't go a day without sex or jerking off

That's always a plus, what about general energy levels and wellbeing?

I'm currently mid use of theaflavins so I've got a couple months of those to get through before I wanna get on these

But to be fair the guy in the blog said that with libido , I mean as with anything it affects everyone differently I suppose,

He had fairly good results in two months

Energy levels is also something I noticed, my bad I didn't mention it.
I have noticed improvements in the energy levels in the gym and generally as well. Can't say it's a significant increase but it's there. I get more cranky too tho because I get sexually frustrated easily.

Cool I might have to get on this! Ive been reading into it for some time, it's probably due to an increase in test as well

The evidence this actually lowers DHT is weak at best, and if it does its by a small amount. Propecia seems easier to me despite that evil cloud of negativity that hovers over commercial drugs.

Hard to say really. I mean anything is possible, but I just had a hard time finding any real solid studies that showed DHT actually decreased from using this. All the natural stuff falls into this category.
The two studies it shows contradict each other. One says DHT went down, while the other says DHT was unaffected.

well ive started taking it got them through yday, was on theaflavins and pso and tocotrienols etc before.

took 6 yesterday will wait and see, hopefully!

Im near enough fucked tbh, pretty much at the same stage the guy is in the pic but thin up front as well

According to most of those studies though it does inhibit 5ar, generally its not a bad herb to take from the sides of increased libido/test and general increase in energy

Dude how many are you taking I'm taking 610mg x 7?

Haven't noticed anything with libido or feeling of high test...

Any update?

Even if it worked, wouldn't it possibly cause side effects similar to finasteride (in proportion to the relative strength of its 5AR inhibition as compared to finasteride)?

600x6 per day, I missed a day or two and noticed my libido drop a bit, how long have you been taking it?

I just want to point out that fenugreek at 500mg daily only reduced serum dht levels by 9.42%, so this is unlikely to do anything for your hair, and is nowhere even close to as potent as finasteride.

If that dude had those kind of results on fenugreek alone, he'd probs turn into Chewbacca on finasteride.

I think it all depends on how people react. I took nettle root and after one day i had a lumb beneath my nipples. It scared me and i stopped taking it.

Man, doesn't anyone else get tired of people posting 'results' about alternative treatments with the photos COMPLETELY lacking consistency? I mean lighting is one thing, but not even being able to hold the camera even close to the same way in all the pics is so stupid when trying to show results. Take a mirror, hold it above your head under a light. Be amazed at how depending on the angle in which you are looking at your hair, it can appear to be full, or appear to be thin as f***. Terrible photos. that's all I'm saying haha.

I hope a few other users here try it and see how it goes. Obviously he isn't selling anything, so he probably isn't intentionally fooling anyone
