Mag Threonate Hair Loss
Original post in this thread

I’m a 20 year old who wants to avoid any strong 5-AR Inhibitors like finasteride since I’m still developing until atleast 25 so im settling for weak ones like Nigella Sativa which I’ve been using for the past month (for general health) with the bonus of it being a weaker 5-ar inhibitor.
I stopped using cistance and tongkat bc I’ve heard they both raise DHT and accelerate hair loss by a large margin, however I have heard about magnesium L threonate blocking DHT from reaching the hair follicles and wanted to know how true that is or if I’m misinformed. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge in this regard? If it does I’d love to add alongside Nigella. Thanks!

You’re finally bringing an ecklonia cava product out? I was starting to think the day would never come, been waiting a couple years.
I love you

Yes, it has taken a lot of work to source and build out testing methods to not only identify it, but to elucidate the actives and create assays for it. We had to do multiple DNA analyses to verify the species using raw material straight out of the ocean off Korea, then build our own BRMs for it on HPTLC. We have now used those methods to test the stuff that is on the market, and it is all fake. It's not Ecklonia cava. When I beta tested it myself, it looked and tasted like EGCG. We tested it against a green tea standard, and it didn't match. However, there was still this nagging thing for me, so we assayed it for EGCG. Sure enough, it has EGCG in it! LOL. So they are selling a completely different plant extract labeled as Ecklonia cava.
