Was wondering if it can work as a dht blocker until i turn 19
 
It’s not a DHT blocker it’s a 5AR inhibitor. Supposedly.

To be honest I don’t understand how it’s supposed to work because DHT is a systemic hormone and blocking conversion only in the scalp doesn’t seem to really matter because the blood flow will just bring the DHT levels back up to systemic levels. Sure it will reduce overall DHT by a tiny amount.

Can anyone counter argue this?

Supposedly it has a small effect but I definitely wouldn't rely on it. Id use it along with other stronger treatments.

It lowers dht levels locally that's it yeah. Which is why its probs has a small but weak effect and defo shouldn't be a main course of treatment for anybody. In fact I wouldn't even bother wasting money on it personally.

I think RU-55841 makes the most sense as a first-line defense.
Every guy should probably be taking low dose finasteride for anti aging too. Especially juicers like me.

RU would work best yeah since it binds to androgen receptors on the scalp and blocks DHT activity that way. You dont have the same worry of for example topical finasteride going systemic and blocking DHT systemically at your (op) young age.

Also yeah I take dut since I got some hair loss on my tren blast (test never gave me any for some reason) and I feel like its such a pro anti-aging drug boosts test and estro which both increase collagen while blocking dht which fks ur scalp hair, increases ur body hair growth and makes your skin rougher + increases sebaceous gland activity so chances of acne.

Mhm
 
I’m using nizoral a couple times a week and ru has worked decent so far

Fin/dut can’t stop tren hair loss, it’s the actual tren binding at the receptor, not a tren metabolite (tren doesn’t 5AR). Tren is more androgenic than DHT.

RU is the only defence which can even theoretically work for tren.

Using RU for topically combatting facial aging is uncharted territory as well but there’s reason to believe it could work which would massively reduce the downside of using tren.

Main cause of hairloss is current dht in hair rather than the systemic one. RU is expensive the least i found was for 70$ per 30ml my receding is minimal so ill give nizoral a try
