Hello, I started taking cistanche and tongkat 3 days ago and today I shedded tons of hair. Is there a way to reduce that? I eat clean, do cold showers, excercise (420 min of cardio a week and 3,5 full body strenght trainings). Do you think tongkat a cistanche might be the readon? Thanks in advance

I doubt his experience with hair loss is due to high DHT it most likely symptoms of low E2. Just hop of Tongkat and the cistanche is what is most likely not causing these symptoms. Low e2 is most likely the culprit, it’s very hard to increase DHT to the point of hair loss with just a herbs. Takes years for a man to lose all his hair.

Yeah, could be that as well. However, some studies have show a 30% increase in DHT after 3 weeks on tongkat.

But maybe that is not enough to cause hair loss.
