i was told on this site

(grapefruit juice will increase absorption of finasteride)

this website says it increases serum concentrations of the drug

so is it advantageous to take your finasteride with a glass of grapefruit juice?

any ideas ... possibly bryan

Sure, it's advantageous to take finasteride and dutasteride with grapefruit juice because it'll increase the effective dose, but it's not certain that it's worth the cost of the grapefruit juice itself. That's especially true, considering the availability of lower-cost generics for those drugs.

oranges don't work?

And how much does this % of effectiveness rises?

 

[striker9]

???

 

[BodyDysmorphic]

no they dont

drink white grapefruit juice 30 min before you ingest finasteride

cheers mate

yeah i just started

the pros you get from it might not be worth the cost of the grapefruit juice though
you should use processed juice and not fresh juice

the white grapefruit juice is best and it is suppose to allow for better absorption

Very quickly, yes, it is supposed to increase your finasteride serum level. When you swallow your finasteride pill your body assimilates 60% of the finasteride only, because of this first-pass metabolism which occurs in your bowel and which is mainly caused by the CYP3A4 enzyme complex. It's like a defense your body has against all the stuff which come from your environment and you can ingest. It turns chemicals into less potent forms which are less likely to damage your system. So, by switching off this enzyme, your finasteride is not metabolized in your bowel and goes directly into your blood. So, that means you're gonna benefit from (almost) 100% of the finasteride you've taken.

IMO i dont think it would hurt to try it
you really have nothing to lose

cheers mate
