[QUOTE="fifty, post: 181083, member: 18511"] Here are a few studies that may be of interest. The actual papers are online free somewhere but the abstracts are pretty good. Basically you can take a tiny dose of finasteride either orally (as low as 0.05mg/day) or topically (0.1ml to 0.2ml of 0.25% solution once daily) and it will block DHT in the scalp without a big effect on serum levels initially. The problem is that eventually over time, finasteride seems to build up in your system and it all ends up reducing serum DHT quite a big regardless of the dose (orally or topically). I had used a topical solution at (1ml of 0.05% solution) once daily and it helped my hair slightly on TRT but after a few months my serum DHT came back at 24. Right now I'm off TRT and my DHT is usually high 60s. Personally, I think DHT is one of the main benefits of TRT and crushing it for hair purposes is a long road to haul.
