Biotin Can Affect Labs
MK83 previously mentioned biotin to BabyOleg. This is not about not taking it, but how it may affect bloodwork results. I recently discovered by accident that it can affect labs which doesn't mean not to take it, but also it is in vitamin supplements. I have hyperparathyroidisn and high Vit D 125 and

I just turned 19 and I am now taking finasteride. Not sure if I’m dealing with the side effects or it’s just all in my head?
In high school I notice my hair had been thinning out excessively. By the time I turned 18 and graduated I notice some recession. So when I told my dermatologist about this he offered me finasteride. He told me there were some harmful side effects to it such as erectile dysfunction. But that only 1%

Split T3 dose effectively
Does anybody know how to effectively split a T3 dose? It is really cumbersome to split some tablets, as they crumble and don't divide easily. I'm currently grinding the T3 tablet into a fine powder and then mix it thoroughly with magnesium glycinate powder. I then form a line of powder which i separate

Can anyone advise supplements to help with Hair loss and Thinning?
I have Hashimoto's and I'm losing my hair - no bald patches as yet but very thin on top and very brittle. It feels like a handfuls come out every time I comb it. I'm on 100mcg Levo, though this has just been increased from 75mcg in the last few days. I notice that Biotin seems to be recommended but

Hair Loss and Thyroid
A lot of posts describe loss of hair coinciding with thyroid deficiency or what is believed to be inadequate treatment. The BTF page on thyroid function and hair loss makes a very important point. A patient may think that hair loss after treatment is due to the inadequacy of the suggested dosage of whatever

HRT compounds and hair loss
The first hrt prescribed to me to treat hair loss, was norethisterone based. Unfortunately, it scarred my scalp. Norethisterone is an androgen based compound so if your scalp is sensitive to testosterone. It will not increase or cause your hair loss. So is helpful to know the compounds in hrt's available

Liver kidneys, iron ferritin serum transferrin and hair loss
Can anyone help me understand my blood tests. A private dermatologist recently took some bloods after prescribing finasteride. I took the drug four months and discontinued as it shrunk my hair follicles. My scalp now looks dramatically worse, thanks to this drug. It didn't increase hair loss but didn't

How much will timing and biotin affect results?
I recently had blood drawn in the doctor´s office, around 11 am. I told him that 1. I had taken levo around midnight the previous day (so about 11 h earlier); 2. I am on a vit B complex containing biotin. He said it wouldn´t matter as levo (unlike lio) results in stable levels 24/7 and that he had
