As I have often noticed before, those who got the best results from treatment with finasteride and minoxidil for some reason necessarily received muscle stress during their therapy. Some ran, some played basketball and football. Some ran on a treadmill or did hiking or just constantly worked out in the gym. In other words, hyperresponders (who got excellent results from finasteride and minoxidil) always have an epidemic of fitness/active lifestyle, a hyperresponder is usually a fit athlete with a good body. BUT why such a coincidence? What relationship can training (muscle stress) have to successful treatment with finasteride and minoxidil?
There are many scientific studies that show that sports affect the whole body, the biochemistry of the body, muscle and nerve cells and, in general, most parts of the body. The follicle (and the muscles of the follicle) is the same organ as all the others and changes in the system will have an effect on the follicle. Of course, exercises generate not only positive factors, but also negative ones like DHT, cortisol, oxidative stress. However, these things can be stopped, and especially DHT can be stopped in the first place, which is what this subreddit manages to do.
If you train the follicular muscle of the follicle with piloerection (for example, cold, emotional experiences, special drugs) by tensing and relaxing the muscle, it will also train. And at this time, the effect of large muscles will affect the APM (follicle muscle) and the follicle itself with many complex mechanisms at the same time. The table shows the factors known to science and I have highlighted 14 of the most famous. All factors in the table work simultaneously and no drug is capable of giving something similar to the effect of muscle stress. This is the secret of those who have received great results from standard therapy with finasteride and minoxidil. The possibilities of cold and piloerection (without cold) should be considered separately, because this is a separate and also interesting process with its own mechanisms intersecting with exercises.
