I am curious to know if there are any Natural Test Boosting products that will not have any negative effects on hair loss or speeding up of the process of hair loss for those of us who have genetics that will force us to eventually lose hair or have a receding hairline.
From my understanding, any sort of increase in testosterone will speed up the process of hair loss if your genetics are mapped out for you to eventually lose your hair.
I also understand that there are remedies to block the process of hair loss/receding hairline, such as 1mg/day of finasteride (commonly known as Propecia). I actually bought myself a handfull of month's supply of this in aim to slow down my hair loss process. BUT, I have always wanted to try taking a testosterone boosting product to increase my gains in the gym without having negative side effects with my hairline. I am unfortunately someone who is prone to hair loss and a receding hairline. I have tried a couple natural test boosting products before, but became skeptical and sort of noticed a change in my hair and hairline. It might have all been in my head, but knowing that my hairline will only get worse from here on out, I don't want to take any chances.
So, what do ya'll have to say on this? Any specific suggestions? Any specific products that are proven or at least have a lot of reviews backing that it did not cause any sort of hair loss to individuals who are prone to hair loss/a receding hairline?

Hiho dude.
I have hair loss problems. I use Propecia too, 1mg/day, and AVICIS topic in the hair before sleeping.
Runned Animal Stak without any problems.
Started yesterday Triazole and will startm Active Xtreme in two weeks.
I think there's no problem, 'cause hair loss is caused by DHT, and these compounds "blocks"(reduces a lot) it.~ GrowUpOrDieTryin'

My understanding of how Finasteride works is that it blocks a certain PERCENTAGE of DHT though. So, if you increase testosterone, yes, it will still block that same percentage, but you then have that much more testosterone converting to DHT that your body is left to deal with.
Appreciate the insight though. Definitely a great thing to hear of others who will also eventually battle hair loss/receding hairlines who have had success with taking natural testosterone boosting products.
Also, what is this AVICIS product you mentioned? Is it like Rogaine (Main ingredient being 5% minidoxil)?

Loss of libido is not a true side effect. Studies show that it happens with ~1.5% of men and the placebo had it happen to about ~.7% of men. So, you can pretty much rule out that side effect; it is just that some guys mentally screw themselves and drive their brain to think that they have impotency from this drug. The mind is a powerful thing.
I would appreciate any more input! I am definitely trying to run a cycle of a test booster product if I am near full certainty that it will not effect my hairline in the short or long term!

Being as the more common causes of hair loss are genetics or increased DHT by the action of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase on testosterone, I would NOT worry about any natural hormonal products (assuming you can trust the label) because there is no immediate evidence that they will cause this. If you start going bald and you're only using natural products (once again assuming accurate labels) then I would chalk it up to male-pattern baldness. I would also not expect these natural products to increase the onset of MPB. Your best, most effective bet, is a combination of SNS DAA and triazole.
I can do amazing things for your body composition. PM for more info.

Isn't there the possibility that if you ramp up your production of various hormones, even though naturally, that it will increase the RATE at which you lose hair? Yes, obviously whatever is meant to happen, will eventually happen. BUT, I am not trying to fast forward to my point of hairloss before it's intended "natural" time.

OP I was thinking the same thing. I was looking into getting Bioforge but was concerned about my hairline. Why are you considering taking a test booster at 23 years old? I am at 30 and think that its a bit to early for me.
I have been using Nioxin and saw palmetto for about 2 months and my hair is starting to get much thicker, not sure if I grew any back.
Any one have some info on Bioforge and hair loss? Just want to bump this to.

Haha, my english is a little fail, almost 5 years i finished my course :s
This. I don't have the side effect, and if you get the side effect(you need to be very lucky), it's only you stop taking
Yeah, that's what i tought. Stak has DHT inhibitor(reduces it), and i didn't notice any increase of hair loss levels. Dunno if it's psyco, i notice even a drop down in the rate (as saw pawmetto is a 5-alpha-reductase blocker too ).
I'm on third day of TZ+AX+LX cycle(currently only taking TZ), i will post the results here after.~ GrowUpOrDieTryin'

Ahhh, I thought Saw Palmetto was also a DHT inhibitor. Sweet! I am 2 days away from beginning to take NOW Adam as my multivitamin, which has Saw Palmetto in it. Perfect.
And yes, PLEASE do let me know how your experiences with those 3 stacked goes. What does AX and LX stand for and what do they do? I know TZ stands for Triazole.
If ANYONE has any more input, personal experiences, or anything else valid to give to this discussion, PLEASE post it! I am sure I am not the only one out there who is trying to educate themselves fully on this topic.
