Apparently you can treat hairloss without suffering from the downsides of finasteride and alpha-5-redutase inhibitors (gynecomastia, brainfog, etc). Alphastat is a patented formula which combines Asthaxantin, Saw Palmetto and Zinc.

“Triarco”, a Bio-Tech company based in New Jersey, released some very intriguing results of a pilot study for their patented prostate product Alphastat, which inhibits 5-alpha reductase. The three-month study on male patients ages 55-68 reported a 40% decrease in blood levels of DHT, which has some obvious implications for treating hair loss.
ANOVA-RM showed significant within group increases in serum total T and significant decreases in serum DHT from baseline in both dose groups at a significance level of alpha = 0.05. Significant decreases in serum ES are reported for the 2000 mg/day dose group and not the 800 mg/day dose group. Significant within group effects were confirmed using ANOVA-2 analyses after baseline subtraction. ANOVA-2 analyses also showed no significant difference between dose groups with regard to the increase of T or the decrease of DHT. It did show a significant dose dependant decrease in serum ES levels.
