I put it on the hair loss medication, but I think the category is right here, so I'm reposting the same thing!
First of all, hair loss is largely divided into two categories.
1. Genetic hair loss 2. Acquired hair loss
Genetic hair loss is literally hair loss caused by heredity.
Basically, testosterone attacks hair follicles, causing hair loss.
However, genetic hair loss causes this testosterone to be converted to dht by a 5a-reducing enzyme
This dht attacks hair follicles several times more than testosterone.
As a result, the rate of hair loss accelerates, and eventually the rate of attack and fall out of the hair appears empty faster than the rate of hair growth.
Representative drugs include dutasteroid and pinasteroid, and dutasteroid, which prevents type 1 and type 2 hair loss, is considered to have a slightly stronger anti-hair loss effect. (Finasteroid inhibits type 2 of 5a-reducing enzyme, reducing dht production by 70%)
Dutasteroid, which blocks type 1 hair loss and type 2 hair loss, is known to inhibit DHT production by about 90%.
The 5α-reducing enzyme type 1 is distributed in sebaceous glands, liver, and brain, and the association with hair loss is not significant.
The 5α-reducing enzyme type 2 is distributed in the prostate and genital tissues and plays a key role in hair loss.
For this reason, it is said that when taking these kinds of drugs, impotence and a decrease in the amount of semen occur.
I'll write it down additionally for those who are interested in dry food rather than drugs.
Drugs related to inhibiting DHT production include sofalmetho, catechin, and zinc.
The side effects of sopalmetto are also impotence, but sopalmetto is commonly known as a functional food for prostate health.
Side effects are known to occur rarely if you do not consume more than the daily limit of sopalmetto.
(Ahn might be a little confused, but it's my personal opinion, but I personally don't think my hair comes out better if I cut it off for a month.) Maybe it's because less zinc comes out of your body.. want to. And it seems that DHT was less produced because male hormones were produced as semen was produced.)
2. acquired hair loss
There are many reasons for acquired hair loss.
1. physical hair loss
2. Hair loss due to lifestyle
I think we can talk about these two things.
No. 1 includes seborrheic scalp inflammation, undernourishment, frequent dyeing, perm, etc.
First of all, there are nutritional supplements with antioxidant functions such as pantothenic acid and omega-3.
I'll briefly tell you No. 2 and write it down again with nutritional supplements that help with hair loss.
If you don't get enough sleep twice, you can accelerate hair loss by adversely affecting scalp health due to scalp fever, stress, and lack of sleep.
There are a lot of nutritional supplements that help with hair loss
MSM. Beer yeast, sofalmetto, biotin, and omega-3.
MSM is a sulfur compound that can help improve hair strength and elasticity by supporting the production of keratin (the main protein in hair).
Beer yeast biotin is known to help nourish hair and scalp and also help grow hair,
Omega 3 helps the scalp due to its antioxidant effect.. I think I can simply say that.
The scalp is the same as the skin. However, omega-3s are mostly expensive, and it is known that taking 1000mg per day helps to some extent.
Instead, I know that eating catechin, vitamin e, vitamin c, and astaxanthin helps antioxidants play a role without omega-3.
I've studied nutritional supplements and medicines, but I think medicines help more directly than nutritional supplements.
However, most of these drugs combine ingredients that can eventually be obtained from nature.
Rather than preventing hair loss with nutritional supplements, I think it would be better to eat it thinking that you can save your hair a little more and make it a little slower.
If there is anything wrong with me, please write it in the comments and I will correct it as soon as possible.
Thank you.
