It will raise your testosterone and you will lose more hair, it's simple. I would just workout without taking steroids, depends on what you value more. Hair or muscles? Drugs like fin and dut will make your body soft and gain more fat. If anything I would actually switch to a topical and your testosterone levels should raise a little and will help with gaining muscle. If you have the cash for HGH, I'd go that route.

Testosterone levels having steadily declined in men as well as fertility rates. Meanwhile cancer rates have steadily risen.
Much safer to change your lifestyle and be healthy long term.
Much like hair it's the long term results that matter the most.
But like any other type of medications offered by the industry it becomes a personal choice. So good luck to you.

I consulted with dozens of clinics over the years and there was a recurring theme regarding FUE among some employees of those other clinics. I was told Bisanga was the man my research told me the same and my experience validated my own research.

was afraid that would be the case
I was born with bad genetics can gain strenth with a decent work out but am always battling a high body fat percentage
My diet is pretty good and with some work i can really focus in on it
a friend of mine at work is a trainer ad can help me out
was wondering if any one here had ever used hgh before

Taco,
Are you still just using Minox? Did you also use fin in your past regimen? Just tell me about your treatment history, I remember reading posts awhile back where you indicated that you maintained on minox alone.

HRT isn't good news for your hair bud, unless maybe if you look into a CRTH2 antagonist like OC000459, TM30089 or Ramatroban, as well as a TH2 cytokine blocker, like singular or accolate.
Personally, I believe that if you combine TM30089 with singulair, you can play around with all the HRT you want. Within reason.
Although the CRTH2 antagonist TM30089 alone substantially inhibited IL-13 production in response to both exogenous and endogenous PGD2 and LTE4, a combination of TM30089 and montelukast was required to completely inhibit the response.

In other words, if you completely block the MPB response to androgens in begin with, you can pump as much testosterone into your hair as you want. Although I'm taking these 2 drugs I've yet to experiment with how they hold up against anabolics. Your call, my friend. But I must say, it's a calculated risk.
If I were you, I'd take testosterone with a 5ar inhibitor, preventing the conversion to DHT, which really mucks up your hair.
In my opinion, I think you'd be perfectly safe with testosterone supplementation if you take Fin/Dut, TM and Singulair as a buffer. In either case, test is more anabolic than DHT in regards to building muscles.
Hair aside, blocking DHT and the subsequent test rise will work to your advantage in building muscle.

Used to be severely diffused NW5; now a NW2 with some lacking density that can be pulled off as a full head of hair with just a few comb strokes.
Hair is still growing; still relentless, still researching, never giving up.

A very well known hair transplant doctor has recently died from pancreatic cancer. It rings a bell because a friend of our family was just diagnosed last year and she didn't last the prognosis of 11 months she died at 9 months. I would suggest staying away from anything that screws with your endocrine system. All the hair or all the money in the world is useless if you are dead. Stay away from it is the best advice. You don't need it. Your life does not depend on it.
