I see we have a lot in common after all. All right, truce.
I use plenty of those, some used on and off..
- Green tea. Grand stuff(antioxidants, catechins). I drink it, but extract is better, much more potent - actually up to 7 times more potent as far as I recall, so I am planning to add extract soon as well.
- ACV. Used it on and off, orally even up 3x daily dissolved in water. Used it topically as well. ACV should play a role most likely for fighting inflamation plus boosting circulation. Also research praises B2 procyanidin, I hope ACV contains it, at least some. Anyway, I'm starting on it again, been to the store yesterday, got myself 4 bottles of ACV, 2 with nettle extract, 2 with garlic extract (stinks like hell itself to be honest).
- Pumpkin seed oil. Used it, currently out, but I have stripped pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin oil is reported to block DHT.
- Biotin. Don't expect miracles. I used up to 10,000 units(a lot!) for a good amount of time, no miraculous results. Now I use it still, but in much lower doses, purely as an addition to the rest of the stuff.
- Inositol. Used it a bit. Still have some left, would like to use much more but its hard to find or order where I am. I'd go with 1000mg + daily.. Caffeine kills inositol btw, if You drink lots of coffee, maybe take even more.
- MSM. Use it, several grams daily. Also I have a topical 10% MSM warming balm, with herbs, vitamin E and what else not. What I'd really like to add is DMSO - and use it topically, but again its not available here and its a problem to order. Anyway, folicles are said to accept only DMSO form of MSM.
- Emu Oil. Never used it, never will. I'm a hardcore vegan, so nothing animal derived is an option for me.
- Saw Palmetto. Use it, 300mg daily. Not sure what my concentration is.. its not on the label. Beware - 300mg of 95% extract is not the same as 300mg 45% extract.
- Beta Sitosterol. Use it. 510mg daily. Plus I try to include some rare foods that include beta sitosterol.. avocados go with 75mg per 100g, pistachios go with nearly 200mg per 100g etc.
- Stinging nettle. Used it, use it on and off as tea, I guess 1000mg+
- Pygeum Africanum. Use it, 200mg daily. Its another reported DHT fighter.
- Curcumin. Use it, roughly once daily via my curry spice powder.
- Resveratrol. Haven't used it. But I'd like too. Also I need grape seed extract, which I have used in the past.

I've been out of some things, been shopping, finally more proteins. Anyway heres some more recommendations I use on and off:
- Arginine. Now will use 3500mg+ daily, via protein shakes. Boosts nitric oxide and blood flow to hairs !
- Cysteine. Now will use 1000mg+ daily, via protein shakes. Hair growth and structure protein I think.
- B100. Complex of all B Vitamins, each at least 100mg, also contains blend of green foods(alfa-alfa etc.)
- Vitamin C. I use 1500mg now, its time release + 200mg of bioflavonids.
- Full Spectrum Minerals. Its all minerals, 1000mg calcium, 500mg magnesium etc.
- Advanced Nutrition Complex (Multivitamins + Minerals)
- Black Pepper. Underestemated spice.
- Silica. Use it on and off via tea.
- Green, Black, White Tea. They're brilliant actually, very rich in antioxidants, plus reported for DHT blocking.
- Ginko Biloba. Used it in the past. Just bought a bottle of liquid alcoholic extract. Good both to drink and put on scalp.
Coming soon.. I plan to include ganoderma lucidum(reishi), ging seng etc.
I have great faith in ganoderma, I've seen study and graph - it blocks up to 50% DHT. Ain't cheap but might be the part of the TOP 3 along with beta sitosterol and saw palmetto.
