So I did a little research and multiple web sites are promoting the idea that hgh promotes hair growth. I was wondering if anyone had experienced this, especially as it pertains to MPB.

HGH and hair growth

- Start date
It will help it grow faster, but if a hair/follicle is already gone, it won't make it come back

Will it strengthen the ones that are still there and make them less likely to fall out?
I do wonder if Rogaine + hGH would make it come back faster, though?

Further Clinical Evidence for the Effect of IGF-1 on Hair Growth and Alopecia.

Abstract
Observations on the Laron syndrome originally offered the opportunity to explore the effect of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) deficiency on human hair growth and differentiation. According to its expression in the dermal hair papilla, IGF-1 is likely involved in reciprocal signaling. It has been shown to affect follicular proliferation, tissue remodeling, and the hair growth cycle, as well as follicular differentiation, identifying IGF-1 signaling as an important mitogenic and morphogenetic regulator in hair follicle biology. Of all the cytokines or growth factors that have been postulated to play a role in hair follicles, ultimately IGF-1 is known to be regulated by androgens. Accordingly, dermal papillary cells from balding scalp follicles were found to secrete significantly less IGF-1 than their counterparts from nonbalding scalp follicles. Herein, hypotrichosis in primary growth hormone deficiency, and a lack of response of female and male androgenetic-type alopecia to treatment with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride in patients who had undergone surgical resection of the pituitary gland, provide further evidence for an effect of IGF-1 on hair growth and alopecia.

Thanks bud, it's worth a shot I suppose. Maybe it'll help my wrist tendonitis too

Rogaine has some weird side effects. I stopped getting morning wood. I found a study where it was affecting another guy the same way but he couldn't get erections for sex either. After 3 to 4 days off it he returned to normal. They repeated his routine and the result was the same.
did nothing for my hair

Never again. Things are returning to normal but fuck that shit. Not having morning wood for several days in a row is cause for concern in my book.

I might pick up some mauve tops from BNGgrowth. Prices look good and it seems like people are happy with the source so far

I honestly believe most of the guys on those hair loss forums complaining of rogaine induced ed/libido are all experiencing psychological ed, especially those talking about using it for less than a week and claiming 1.5+ years later it’s still persists. One guy did admit it was all in his head, but for the most part it’s a contagious hysteria.
I found that case with the Indian male experiencing ed with rogaine where it went away when he stopped and came back when he started rogaine. I also read a study abstract that did mention minoxidil did cause suppression or resuction/down regulation (can’t remember exact word) of the androgen receptor, but unsure if it was topical or PO and if the it were AR receptors on the scalp or all of them were affected. I also read a study where they tested minoxidil as an ed treatment lol
Tbh recently I don’t get any real morning wood often, it’s always like 10-50ish% but I still normally get it up when I’m awake, so idk. I stopped using rogaine, Monday afternoon was the last time. We’ll see if it’ll make any difference.

Definitely wasn’t psychological with me bro. I talked with another guy who experienced the same exact thing as me and I think his was even worse.

Quite possible and I’ve read others experiencing issues but some of these dudes stories I’ve read were outlandish. I mean using rogaine for a week and over a year after stopping it’s making the tip of your dick burn lol. Just google “rogaine ed” and you’ll find a bunch of these stories. Not saying they’re all crazy many sound realistic.

Ah my sleeps been messed up since high school, sleeping at 5-7am waking up at 1pm, while forgetting to call to see where the hell my cpap is at lol. Haven’t used since Monday. Just the ketoconazole shampoo last night which is a potent antiandrogen when taken orally. Anyway I believe it’s possible.
