Ashwagandha: this supplement is better than finasteride for hair regrowth

[20/04/2008]

What if I told you there’s a herb that’s on par with finasteride in terms of efficacy, helping with hair loss without the side effects and you don’t even have to take it orally? Let me show you.

You might be extremely aware of this herb.

It’s called Ashwagandha.

Yes, topical Ashwagandha has been shown to be extremely helpful in helping with hair regrowth.



Topical Ashwagandha for hair regrowth

A recent human study at the end of 2023 found that topical Ashwagandha was very effective at regrowing hair

Effects of Withania somnifera root extract serum application on hair health in healthy adults: A prospective, double-blind, randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled study - PubMed

CTRI, Number CTRI/2022/11/047539, Registered on: 23/11/2022.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

To see how effective it really is, I compared it to the effectiveness of finasteride.

According to the study, they used a liquid KSM-66 extract and applied only 1-2 drops total per day.

The researchers told the research subjects to put a little bit on their hands and then apply it to their hair where they wanted regrowth. To be clear, 1-2 drops is a very, very low dose. And it was still shown to be very effective for hair loss. Now, imagine if you had to take more. It would likely be even more effective.



Ashwagandha vs finasteride for hair regrowth

Ashwagandha vs finasteride on hair density per cm2

• Finasteride: 1.3-1.9 hairs/cm2 per month. ~9.3 hairs/cm2 average hair growth seen with daily oral administration of 1 mg finasteride over a 24-week period

Weekly treatment with SAMiRNA targeting the androgen receptor ameliorates androgenetic alopecia - Scientific Reports

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss in men and women. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and androgen receptor (AR) levels are increased in patients with AGA, and DHT-AR signaling correlates strongly with AGA pathogenesis. In this study, treatment with self-assembled micelle...

Changes in hair weight and hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia after treatment with finasteride, 1 mg, daily - PubMed

In this study, finasteride, 1 mg, increased hair weight in men with AGA. Hair weight increased to a larger extent than hair count, implying that factors other than the number of hairs, such as increased growth rate (length) and thickness of hairs, contribute to the beneficial effects of...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

• Ashwagandha: 7.3 vs 2.8 hairs/cm2(placebo) after 75 days (2.9 per month).

In summary, over the period of 1 month, finasteride increased 1.3-1.9 hairs/cm2 per month, whereas topical Ashwagandha was 2.9 hairs/cm2 per month. That’s much better if you ask me.



Ashwagandha vs finasteride on hair thickness

• Finasteride (5mg): increased hair thickness from 64 to 70 (6μm) after 12 months (0.5μm per month)

5 mg/day finasteride treatment for normoandrogenic Asian women with female pattern hair loss - PubMed

Oral finasteride, 5 mg/day, may be an effective and safe treatment for normoandrogenic women with FPHL.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

• 
  
• Ashwagandha: 1.8 vs 0.9μm (0.72μm per month)

In summary, over the period of 1 month, Ashwagandha was better than fin, coming in at 0.72μm/m vs 0.5μm/m.



Hair growth speed

I couldn’t find anything on finasteride here. But hair growth speed was 21.7 vs 4.2μm/day. About 5 times faster than the placebo group.



How does topical Ashwagandha work for hair loss?

Why does Ashwagandha work?

Ashwagandha has been shown to :

Efficacy and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Ashwagandha Sustained-Release Formulation on Depression and Anxiety Induced by Chronic Unpredictable Stress: in vivo and in vitro Studies - PMC

• reduce inflammation in the scalp
• increase nitric oxide and improve blood flow
• increase IGF 1 and or other growth factors
• promote the increased production of old stem cells. So that stem cells can be converted into new hair follicles for you to be able to grow new hair.

Summary

I think if you want to use something for hair without the side effects of finasteride, which is going to cause mental, physical and sexual side effects, rather use topical ashwagandha that will not penetrate into your system and has about a zero chance of giving you any side effects.

the study is shit and biased with shit sample size and absolutely retarded results, actual hair loss reversion only happens in atleast 3 months, and those niggers have it in 70 days not even minoxidil will give you those results
also its made by a company selling ksm-66

imagine it actually worked like this, probably millions of people would be using this shit daily, yet no one gives a fuck and u cant even show 1 result

yes lets give him contributor badge for baiting balding faggots to shower their scalp in ashwaghandha instead of getting on fin

Estrodiol and estriol cream dont work, because ths main issue is dht

ashwaganda isnt gonna stop dht from raping the hair follicle

finasterides purpose is 99% stop further hairloss, not regrowth

Sad post, ash cant target AGA it has no molecular affinity for neither 5ar enzyme or AR, the 2023 study only showed an increase at the start in hair metrics, the affect seen is cause by withaferin As affect on NO synthesis this still lacks anything to distrupt AR driven cascades, fin working long term is obviously caused by DHT reduction. The topical increasing dose thing is also stupid, topical works by modulating locally has no interaction to skull DHT as ive said already withanolides in ash dont have any affinity for 5ar or AR. For the density any gain from ash wont be sustainable since it only derives from perfusion. IGF and stem cell could help hair growth but in AGA, DHT is the main factor

Reading this post was really dissapointing comparing it to minox wouldve made more sense since they actually work similarly and even then its nowhere near as good

Nigga I’ll argue if dht block works
is because of the increase in estrogen
Heck dht is shown to promote hair growth
Its just a ton of undirect effect of dht that cause hairloss
You can even see hypogonadal cuks having hairloss so stop coping about dht
Also what do you think about pepermint oil
I mean i used minoxidil for a while and i feel like the skin is my scalp turn to shit because of it and their is study showing permint oil is comparable to minox

You got the holy trinity of overconfident low iq retards in the replies , put them on ignore imo

keep going but don't use chat gpt again

i'm gonna try clobetasol personally, works thru immunomodulation which is what they suspected ashwa to be doing but mildly

I'm conjecturing i got alopecia areata atm since i got some discolored hairs and diffuse thinning

Yes the ashwaganda liquid is probably closer in effectiveness to minox then fin.

is because of the increase in estrogen

Hair in AGA has higher AR sensitivity to DHT its not cause of the increase in estrogen, estrogen increase from DHT is indirect

Heck dht is shown to promote hair growth
Its just a ton of undirect effect of dht that cause hairloss
You can even see hypogonadal cuks having hairloss so stop coping about dht

Thats from other hormonal dysregulations if u have upregulated AR sensitivity even low dht would cause hairloss

Also what do you think about pepermint oil
I mean i used minoxidil for a while and i feel like the skin is my scalp turn to shit because of it and their is study showing permint oil is comparable to minox

Minox increases the length of the anagen phase, pepermint at best just makes ur scalp healthier
