I’m 21 and my hair is thinning/receding to the point where it’s hard to ignore. I got on nutrafol (I know, I know) and to my surprise it actually seemed to be working somewhat with no negative side effects other than having to pee constantly, which seems to come from the fact that it has 10,000%(!) the daily recommended value of Biotin. However, I stopped taking it because I read that saw palmetto has been linked to liver damage, and since I already drink quite frequently, I’d rather not chance it. Previously I’ve been too pussy to get on fin+min, but now that I know I tolerate the minor dht-blocking effects of saw palmetto, is that any indication that I would also tolerate greater dht-blocking with finasteride without experiencing side effects?
Also I read that drinking and nicotine are both bad for hair-- do I need to cut those out pronto? Quitting alcohol would be much easier than nicotine…
