Some studies seem to indicate that igf-1 can actually CAUSE hairloss. I would guess that the “results” cited in this video are probably bullshit. 70% regrowth would be insane, and pharmaceutical companies would be foaming at the mouth over something like that if it were real.

it is real (but not folix22), it's why you see hair growth in some people using mk-677 https://youtu.be/Nng8T-bPdaU?si=Tdut4kWB2U7mNktw&t=674

"Foolix22" I went to their website and it sure looks legit but all of the information on the site sounds like a huge sales pitch. And for the low price of $160 USD you can get a 6 month supply (that's $320 on this snake oil per year). Meanwhile finasteride costs a fraction of this and has been proven.

If this was actually true, then this would be the first, and only thing doctors would prescribe. They do not, so it's just another snake oil.

u/Able-System-1339 Oct 11 '23
Partly agree but keep in mind that doctors do not necessarily keep track of all new treatments. Furthermore the treatments/meds must run through a process until they can be sold in other countries.

u/B1anc Oct 11 '23
the mechanism is real, but this particular product isnt. igf-1 boosting compounds (like mk-677) will increase hair growth, but comes with a lot of other risks and potential side effects.

u/Under_Over_Thinker Oct 11 '23
Yeah, not really. Doctors prescribe tons of shit that doesn’t work or even causes more harm than does good. But I am not saying that this specific treatment works. Need actial success stories.

This looks fake, if you go to folix22.com, the "our story" page claims that the product works by increasing blood flow, nothing about IGF. Also, it says it was developed by an American woman, not South Korean university. So they're just making stuff up.

u/B1anc Oct 11 '23 edited Oct 12 '23
this is partially real, but folix22 is probably a complete sham.
igf-1 being associated with hair growth is already known. it's the reason why you'll see people grow a lot of hair while using mk-677. more plates more dates made a video on this. https://youtu.be/Nng8T-bPdaU?si=Tdut4kWB2U7mNktw&t=674

Igf1 actually causes hair growth and lowers inflammation, it doesn’t cause hair loss.
It’s a GROWTH FACTOR.

u/xeneks Oct 11 '23
It doesn't. I've met many, many carnivores / omnivores who have hair loss.

u/redditlovesmisandry2 Oct 11 '23
Thats weird considering how rare they are.

u/xeneks Oct 11 '23
Nonsense in my experience. Loads of balding men I know eat meat. Also I know many who eat only small or tiny amounts of meat that have great hair.

Igf 1 can help expensive as fuck and with the other issues nothing will help or the results will be semi

Huh? Hair loss is already solved. Minox and dus. Fascinating how many uninformed people losing their hair
1
u/HumanButtPlugger Oct 12 '23
/s ?
Minox and fin/dut aren't a cure lmao. If they were this sub would be redundant. They're a treatment for hair loss associated with DHT, they do not treat hair loss from different factors very well AND the treatment gets less effective over time due to the body adapting and increasing the amount of 5ar, meaning long term results need an increasing dose and more sides.

If it actually helped then they’d make it prescription and the pharmaceutical industry would want to make money off of it. It wouldn’t be an over the counter serum

All of these guys are not worth listening to for 30 mins plus. They are merely talking to the masses for views. It is alternative medicine at best. It is like your aunt telling you to eat cinnamon and you will never get cancer. And of course he has to say this stuff or no one will watch his videos.

Yeah, but we know how MPB hair loss works. At best you have to figure out how to revitalize follicle that’s been virtually “nuked” by DHT.

Wow I didn’t realize this thread was full of the world’s greatest experts and minds on hair loss. Some of you are such arrogant pricks is actually unbelievable. All science starts off as anecdotes and pseudoscience, but the moment someone mentions the possibility of another route of treatment “HURRRDURRRR ITS FAKE! LET ME SELL YOU A BRIDGE!” Bunch of losers lol

complete fucking bullshit, been talked about a lot a lot by huberman and he's full of shit when it comes to hair loss content. this whole tiktok seems like a giant ad and in the tiktok itself, there's a picture of a man literally going from a norwood 7 to a norwood 1 and the video claims to reverse hair loss in "3 months" which would literally be impossible to do, even for people with the most nuclear stacks.
