Starting Finasteride with heavy peptide protocol
I’m currently at somewhere between NW1-NW1.5.
I’m 33yo and my father is bald. My hair loss is not very noticeable to others but I know it’s gotten thinner/recessed a bit over the past few years, especially since starting “TRT” (200mg/week) and blasting occasionally (375mg/week).
Just wanted to share my protocol, will report back in a few months;
1mg oral finasteride daily. Avoiding minoxidil for my first year because when I tried topical fin/min a few years ago it caused an aggressive shed that scared me and led me to discontinue treatment.
6iu HGH daily
I notice this makes my hair and nails grow really fast. I also think it could also help negate some of the potential side effects from the finasteride as my body adjusts to it.
4mg GHK-CU daily
I’m gonna cycle this, but on this protocol for the next 8weeks). I’m aware this doesn’t stop MPB but it does extend the anagen phase of hair follicles and I think it could be helpful paired with finasteride.
1mg BPC-157 daily (500mcg AM/PM)
I know this isn’t great for hair loss, but it has a synergistic effect with HGH upregulating growth hormone receptors at mRNA and protein levels, which I think could be helpful for hair growth.
500mcg KPV daily
From what I’ve read this could help with scalp inflammation, helping me to avoid extreme sheds.
2 capsules Biotin/Collagen/Keratin vitamin (nutraharmony vitamin, also has nettles, grape seed extract, etc….)
I know hair vitamins do nothing to stop balding, but I think they could help speed up potential regrowth from the finasteride.
2% ketoconazole shampoo 2-3x/week
4.5mg Low-Dose Naltrexone daily
I take this to manage a chronic illness but I’ve heard it can be helpful with hair loss so thought I’d add it.
To further reduce scalp DHT and soothe inflammation
I’ve been so freaked out by the horror stories about DHT blockers that I’ve put off treatment for years. I’ve decided to approach it with a positive attitude, an aggressive holistic protocol, and enjoy the journey :) I have high hopes that, as my hair is still pretty decent, within a couple years I could have better hair than I did in my early 20s.
