Yet another arginine question

Sorry i have to post this but i did the search, looked through 4 pages but couldn’t find answers. Not sure if i over looked it or not, could have sworn i read it here in the past, but w/e. Thanks in advance to those who answer.

1. Does l-arginine have any effect on DHT either lowering or decreasing?

2. For the guys who take arginine have you noticed any change in your hair patterns? Such as hair loss, slowed hair growth, or even increased hair growth?

Thank you so much, really need to get this info down.

I live on arginine and have had no hair issues. My hair grows like a weed. Never considered why.

thanks for the input. More people chime in NOW!!! lol

Ive tried many forms of Arginine and there has been no issues on hair. Arginine is all good and a great base for supplements. It doesnt inhibit anything and only helps. But I dont think it is worth a crap all on its own. I feel ya need another supplement to boost the arginine effects.

In my reading, there is no connection of l-arginine to DHT. Larger quantities, taken on an empty stomach, will produce a slight spike in HGH. When taken with Iicarin and pycnogenol there is an increase in nitric oxide ie will make you horny but also help with atp and co-factors for muscularity at the gym. Some have evidensed that l-

DHT is not influenced by Arginine. DHT is influenced by 5-alpha-reductase which converts Testosterone into DHT.

5-Alpha-reductase is produced by the skin, seminal vesicles, prostate and epididymus and is believed to do the T->DHT conversion in the prostate.

Some have evidensed that l-Arginine should be cycled: 4 wks on, 2wks off.

thanks dudes, was worried about taking the stuff b/c i saw an article somewhere that said it raised dht, but basically every post said it’s cool, so i’m relieved :)

Arginine can raise your testosterone levels. Testosterone converts to DHT. If your hair follicles are sensitive to DHT it can affect your hair. I have used arginine for a long time now and I can see that my hair is thinner.

It doesnt mean it is the arginine. I have used it for a long time to and am going bald but I am almost 41 and it runs in my family.
