    Anyone else experience greater hair loss after using 1-ad

    Not that I am vein or anything...But WTF! Ive been using 1-AD for about 6 weeks and 4 AD for about 3 weeks (dont ask why there is a time difference) Now I am definitely noticing a greater hair loss. Anyone else?

    Im torn between the two because I have gained 11 lbs ( from 183 -> 194 lbs.) and I feel great.

    Oh Well

    1 AD is soppose to have a 0% conversion rate to Estrogen, or DHT, the hormone that is the main culprit to hair loss, so I doubt this would be it, have you ever done any AS? Does male pattern baldness run in your family?

    Brian, I disagree. The companies statements do say no conversion to estrogen but dht is a different story. From Ergopharm's website:

    No Aromatization

    1-testosterone differs from testosterone in another way as well. Being a 5alpha-reduced androgen (a DHT derivative) it simply cannot aromatize to estrogens.

    Notice it says it is a dht derivative, which means it has already converted to a DHT just like winny which is one of the most harmful drugs to the hair if you are susceptible to Male Pattern Baldness. Since in its raw form it is already past the conversion point from Test to DHT then drugs like proscar/propecia/avodart are not effective in stopping the associated hairloss. My own personal experience using 1AD for (4) 8 week cycles of 600mg daily, is that I notices increase thinning of my hair.

    Guys, I think that it speeds up the normal pattern hairloss. I was on proscar at the time but it still thinned. I think mine came back to the original level but only because I was using proscar to drop dht levels.

    Using nothing you will probably not regain anything.

    i have been taking 1-AD and have noticed my hair thinning just a little bit. Im going to take the last few days of it I have and then just quit taking it. My hair loss hasnt been anything bad at all really, but i noticed just a tad bit of hair loss. Yes, I am worried about it but not too bad for the time being.
