Magtein Withdrawal
Original post in this thread

I just bought some magtein from ND. I just say that there seems to be a significant withdrawal affect when you stop taking it. Is that true and something I should be worried about? Thanks

I actually added Magtein to my stack (again) at the same time as I started applying topical Fin. Hoping that helps with my hair loss, though since I started both at the same time I won't be able to tell.
I know in the past you'd mentioned researching hair loss. Was there every in progress with that?

Hair loss is super complex, but I certainly understand it a lot better than I did before. You want to block DHT specifically at the follicle, but not systemically. Because DHT has a lot of good effects for guys that you don't want to lose just to prevent hair loss. So specific targeting at the follicle is the holy grail. That's why this threonic acid thing is so cool! It inhibits DHT at the dermal papilla cells. We are considering offering threonic acid as a standalone.
Then you have BDNF, which is linked to DHT in a complex system. This is why increased BDNF levels can lead to hair loss. I am still trying to figure that whole system out, though.
