IGF-1 causes hair loss?
Yeah dude sure, every study that does not fit your narratives is cope and what you think it's not lol, ok dude...
yep, igf-1 increases conversion from testosterone to dht and also lowers shbg so there is more free testosterone that can reach tissues

indirectly but i would say yes

Okay, so what's up with this?
"IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) is well known as a hair growing substance. ... The growth factor is also produced in the hair follicle and promotes hair growth by proliferating keratinocytes, thereby improving alopecia. IGF-1 is decreased due to any reasons such as stress and aging, which induces hair loss."
and this:
"dermal papillary cells from balding scalp follicles were found to secrete significantly less IGF-1 than their counterparts from nonbalding scalp follicles"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5939720/
Note that even if the case of increasing T, it is not bad if one takes AA to combat DHT conversion and even better if taking T blockers like CPA.

And this one:
Inhibit DHT to reverse hair loss, and actively promote hair growth by increasing IGF-1, which accelerates hair growth by increasing IGF-1, which accelerates hair growth/hair restoration.

- Increase blood flow of hair root
- Promotion of hair growth and hair restoration
- Prevention of hair loss
- Melanin hyperpigmentation of hair
- Enhance hair dryness and luster
And what about millions of people which don’t take supplements or goes to gyms and they are still bald? Androgenic Alopecia is much more than that and there are many genes and factors which contribute to loss hair. And many of those factors are still unknown to modern science.

I agree with the "combat DHT part", but not so much with "even better if taking T blockers like CPA".
I am on CPA and let me be clear, that CPA is NOT suitable for healthy young males with a healthy male sex life.
hey ! Are you a male or a woman ? if you are a male, you are really taking cpa ? i thought cpa was like diane or diane 35 for women

I'm cis-male, taking 50 mg CPA + dutasteride (recently it's CPA 25 mg with EE and dutasteride).
Diane/Diane 35 is CPA + EE (EthinylEstradiol), a contraceptive pill for women, however, the CPA dose in Diane 35 is very low (2 mg). I am trying CPA after dutasteride gave me horrible upregulations of AR. So far, the sides are very real, but the results far outweights any negatives (at least, for me).

What sides?

these cases are related to growth hormone deficiency or hypotrichosis, its not your common alopecia., but for those conditions seems to be effective

I dont want to cool any enthusiam but i dont see a double blind study but a theory.
Igf1 most likely follows sexual hormones levels, so it can help you much more down there

"IGF-1/GH and testosterone also appear to have similar clinical effects, with IGF-1/GH reversing endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction and testosterone increasing the number of endothelial progenitor cells"

''Therefore a cis man is a man who identifies as male and was assigned a male sex at birth.'' so you are not a trans or anything close to it.. how old are you if i may ?
and how can we reduce this igf-1 thing ?, first time i hear of it
low carb diet and no milk
