Please HELP!! Are these killing my hair??
Hey guys, i got a serious problem on my hands that ive been stressing about ridiculously... My hair is DRASTICALLY thinning and falling out, like within the past month and a half/ 2 months! The reason ive listed this in the supplements section is that about 2 months ago ive started lifting again and ive been on quite a number of natural supplements within that time period, which leads me to believe it could be something im ingesting.
Right now im taking
Elite Whey
Optimen multi-- lots of different **** in this!
Xpand
R-ALA
Fish Oil
Ecdysten (ecdysterone) occaisionally
ZMA
Vitrix (tribulus) occaisionally
Im 23 years old, my dad doesnt have alot of hair, and i HAVE been stressing out alot lately... but this much change in not just sections of hair thinning but the overall thickness of all the hair on my head has definatley changed, which seems to be something introduced into my body, and the timeline coincides with the time i started lifting. ANY AND ALL help, suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated.... Im hurtin guys!
Thanks
bukbuk

Nothing on your list would do any damage to your hair IMO.

I don't necessarily agree with that. Everyone reacts to testosterone enhancing products differently. The Tribulus, while mild still might trigger the beginning stages of hair loss. I am prone to hair loss as well, so I tend to stay away from any type of testosterone, naturally or chemically enhancing supplements.
Also lay off the Ecdy for a bit and see if that helps.
The rest looks good in terms of overall health supplementation.
Look at your diet, stress levels etc. All of these factors can also make a difference in hair loss.
Always listen your body. We can make recommendations all day over the internet, but in the end everyone is unique and responds accordingly.

I was on Vitrix and I noticed my hair thinning out. That could be the problem right there. Maybe it was just my imagination but that's what it seemed like.

There's really nothing you'retaking that throws up a red flag. Have you added any medications lately? Are you stressed? There are a lot of things that can kickstart hair loss, especially if you're prone to it.

My hairloss accellerated twice while addoing ZMA to my supps. I'm not going to say it was the ZMA because correllation does not equal causation. But I'm not going to rule it out either. BTW, I got off the ZMA and got on finasteride and my shedding has stopped.

go get some nioxin, the cleanser and the scalp therapy, im curently taking that for a baldspot on my head from surgery, its supposed to be the best and the best part is its made so u can use it everyday for the rest of your life, it gently removes and stripps away dht, wich is the cause for most hair loss, also it thickens the hair bigtime, the downside is that my chest hair and my arm hair grow faster 2 but its worth it, i am seeing results, try it out just dont like scrub your head....just lather it on smoothley
hope this helpsi dont know...its the battle.the going to war with the other guys...being different than anyone else...not everyone can play football.. we are the lucky ones

ive noticed my hair thinning 2 yrs ago when i changed my diet and thats when i stopped eating fatty and sugary foods and also my allergies worsen due to the nasal hair loss and caused me too much stress that contributed to more hair loss..did you change diet? and stress is a very big factor for hair loss so learn to relax specially after workout
if you're so uneducated as to think that drinking water will "wash away calories" then I would give second thought to performing weighted exercises in a gym.
Try doing squats.It makes everything grow.

Sorry son, I think it may just be your time. Heres some ways you can help keep the hair you have.
Shower immediately after workout, don't let the sweat settle and clog your pores. Use a shampoo with aminos that deep cleans dirt and sweat. Then use Nizoral 3-5 times a week immediately after using the other shampoo. Finally, try some Monoxidil, generic Rogaine. Its cheap like $8 per month. Use as directed.
Keep your scalp as clean as possible.
