Zinc, Testosterone and hair

[Kroker]

Idk what should I make up my mind on Zinc whether it benefits hair or it doesn't!

Zinc increases testosterone which higher levels of testosterone means higher levels of DHT which affects hair...



Yet you see people advise taking ZINC...

What's the final verdict?

I used to take 20mg Zinc a day

If you're not deficient in it taking extra isn't going to have insane compounding effects or anything

Only worth taking Zinc picolinate, other forms don't have much effect.

There are many other benefits to zinc other than for testosterone, such as thyroid conversion, liver detoxification, reducing malondialdehyde which is higher in those with mpb.

There is no study that confirms dht in blood will cause hair loss, only dht that is produced locally by hair follicles/scalp is linked.

You are 19, at 19 its standard to have a perfect hairline

Its not, at age ~16 your hairlane starting receeding in 99% guys. Your hairline can still be pretty good but its not as good as you were 16 years old. Now my hair are regrowing and i can see how much I got norwooded.
