I can see vitamin E being good for hair in several ways:
1. Lowering excess estrogen - reduces inflammation
2. Reduces inflammation by other means
3. Increases blood flow
Of course I'm talking about supplementing orally

DO NOT SUPPLEMENT VITAMIN E
A couple of notes before people go off the deep end:
1) The hairloss study used 100mg of Tocotrienols while the the study cited on Anabolic used almost 500mg of Tocopherols.
2) The study cited on Anabolic shows raised test and free test without effecting DHT. There are no studies that show it raises DHT. (Yes, I understand the relationship between test, free test, and DHT. If it raised DHT, every person on every bodybuilding forum would be mega dosing it.)
3) Many things that are good for your hair can cause hairloss if mega dosed or applied incorrectly. For instance, a small amount of IGF-1 on skin tissue can stimulate hair growth. A large amount of serum IGF-1 can potentially cause hairloss.
4) I have been taking 100mg of Tocotreinols/day for over 2 years. I can't tell if it has made a difference but since I am maintaining, it's not destroying my hair. I assume that Tocotreinols can be very effective for people that don't have androgenic alopecia. Maybe it can thicken up safe zones for some people that do have AA. That's probably it.
they didnt measure the dht in the study though...but as you already said..if its raise free t and has also anti estrogen/anti aromatase features you know whats up
and its know joke...i recommend everyone to do vitamin e for 2weeks...you ejaculate volume will skyrocket...and you know what that means
Yep. I've noticed that. Felt better mentally, HARD erections... and hair thinning rapidly. It's such a sick f*****g joke that everything that makes us more manly and healthier is deadly for our hair. f*** male pattern baldness, what a joke.
One thing interesting is normal hairdensity is 2,200 hair strands per square inch. Hairs can then be thin, medium, thick. So in this study hair strands increased. But thickness of individual strands didn’t. Hmm, still sounds like a Win.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3819075/
Abstract : Studies have shown an association between oxidative stress and alopecia. Patients with alopecia generally exhibit lower levels of antioxidants in their scalp area as well as a higher lipid peroxidation index. Tocotrienols belong to the vitamin E family and are known to be potent antioxidants. Hence, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of tocotrienol supplementation on hair growth in volunteers suffering from hair loss. Twenty one volunteers were randomly assigned to orally receive 100 mg of mixed tocotrienols daily while 17 volunteers were assigned to receive placebo capsule orally. The volunteers were monitored for the number of hairs in a pre-determined scalp area as well as the weight of 20 strands of 1 cm length hair clippings at 0 (before supplementation), 4 and 8 months. The number of hairs of the volunteers in the tocotrienol supplementation group increased significantly as compared to the placebo group, with the former recording a 34.5% increase at the end of the 8-month supplementation as compared to a 0.1% decrease for the latter. Nevertheless, the cumulative weight of 20 strands of hair clippings did not differ much from the baseline for both supplementation groups at the end of the study period. In conclusion, this trial demonstrated that supplementation with tocotrienol capsules increases hair number in volunteers suffering from hair loss as compared to the placebo group. This observed effect was most likely to be due to the antioxidant activity of tocotrienols that helped to reduce lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in the scalp, which are reported to be associated with alopecia.
Originally found this on Reddit. TLDR: Vitamin E supplementation seems to be beneficial for hair.
some supplements that help testo/libido are pro hairs (nettle, fenugreek, DIM, . etc). So don't take those studies too seriously. I never had the libido I have to day(thanks to pregnenolone/ZMA combo). DHT level? Really guys it's follicle sensitiy which is the problem. When I had low dht level I had a nightmarish shedding and today my dht level skyrocketed and my hairloss is stable.. that's the mystery of male pattern baldness.
so finasteride would work on follicle sensitivity and dht suppression is just a collateral damage?some supplements that help testo/libido are pro hairs (nettle, fenugreek, DIM, . etc).

It is a big puzzle. when you see there are unlimited kinds of hairloss patterns you can imagine how hard it is to find the truth. Why some people have great regrowth with "peanut" routine while guys with a never ending routine are barely maintaining ?so finasteride would work on follicle sensitivity and dht suppression is just a collateral damage?

That's sh*t, it's probably Hydrogenated. Stay away if it is.The study used 50mg of HealthyOrigins SupraBio. If you study it further it’s red palm oil. I use red palm oil when popping own popcorn. Either way noticed no difference.
