few of people including me (groupbuy) have tried this few years back without success. I was applying 1% vit e succinate (stemox as vehicle)
it's "funny" to read in studies countless things that could work for male pattern baldness but actually don't.. ; (

I know. The number of compounds I tested without success is very high. There is a serious disconnect between PubMed and the real world. Even some studies supposedly done on humans when people try to replicate them the results are very different ( just see dermaroller or detumescence )

This is a curse, not a disease.

Let us know what happens with your calcitirol work. Keep at it for 2 months at least.

It needs to be active vitamin D otherwise it won’t make a difference than just supplementing regular vitamin D3 pills

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.
do you actually take pregnolone? may ask you dosage, period, effects?

ye. I was already taking zma then I added preg. in the beginning I was taking half a cap (25mg) every day. I had blatant boost regarding libido (the first week I was like an animal). But then it tappered off. Now I take a 50mg cap every 3/4 days or when I think about it(that means I can take one 50mg cap once a week). One thing is for sure my libido is better than before but not as it was the first days. which is good actually because high libido is crazy. Other real effect I have noticed is the facelift effect, that's not placebo that's for sure. Maybe I still have to work on the dosage.I think some guys take hundreds mg once per week but it sounds a bit extreme to me and I would not recommend that). That said I dropped ZMA and now I take higher dosage of zinc (optizinc) which also helps for libido so all in all I don't know how preg is still effective but it does not make things worse and for such a price I keep taking it and again, the facelift effect is not a mirage.
That's 2 of the three supp I take (alongside a solid multivit).

the only supp with this blasting effect i can think of is overdosing vitamin E.
thank you that's def in my radar, just had to overcome hairloss fear.
but sexual precursor pregnolone is the safest and most effective in terms of hormonal balance

lol, true I forgot that. , I take a supp for bone health(containing vit A, D K and E) . I forgot to mention it because I take it on/off(1month course of treatment).ANd vit e sure looks good for libido and my supp has only a small dosage of it. I can't imagine what it does if you overdose it like you say^^ what does of vit-e have you tried?
and ye I agree preg looks to be safe, but hey we know it's not a candy,It's always recommended to monitor this closely, and in my case, my blood tests remain good so I have nothing negative to say

Tocotrienols are more absorb but tocopherols are "for our case", if you megadose it, vit K and others type of E got depleted so i go with natural mixed tocopherols E-1000 and take k.
Something between 40 and 70 iu per chilos and you are a teen
There are at least a couple of studies but above all you have to try.
Pregnolone fascinates me because not only raises testo but also regulates estrogens
