Excuse me doctor uh, whats your name? I was not attempting to say anything about Finasteride in relation to type 1 5AR. Everyone knows Finasteride has no effect on type 1 5AR.

>>That's why regular finasteride usage reduces the amount in the blood (not necessarily hair follicles, BTW) by 70%. In other words, it reduces type 2 by close to 100%, and type 1 by close to 0%.<< Which is it 70% or 100% inhibition of type 2 5AR? Of course type 2 5AR remains in the hair follicles, as well as type 1 scince the drug does nothing to stop type 1, but based on your statements there should be no type 2, if you have 100% inhibition. 100% inhibition means 100% inhibition. Finasteride does not inhibit type 2 5AR 100% anywhere in the body. Read the literature! Or if you have something to back up this miraculous claim please post it.
