A product review on Skin Biology suggests copper peptides i.e. folligen in this case, inhibits DHT. I assume this information is from Loren Pickart, so it could have have some validity to it. What do you guys think?

Maybe it makes it so that DHT cannot form as easily .. since Folligen is helping the overall condition of the scalp through copper peptides ?

I once asked Dr Pickart flat out if it did in a series of questions........his response......

2. Increasing copper in the skin reduces 5-alpha reductase activity by about 90%.
Folligen should do the same.

If that's true then it is almost as good as Dr lee's claims about xandrox.

Hmmm.... I think that claim by Dr. Pickart is dubious, at best.

I wish doctors didn't say things that they cannot prove.

The age of ethical medicine is long over. Now we must be served a scoop of horseshit for our hard-earned dollars.. as even those oath taking doctors only see dollar signs these days.

Pure sh*t.

^ And THAT is the problem with medicine and oaths and the like..

Even though there is NO study to lay proof to the CLAIM.. the CLAIM is still made!

Why claim what has no proof? Doctors need to do much better than this.

Anyway, I do like the Folligen product though, after using it for a few weeks.
Scalp feels healthier.
