Can
testosterone supplements, as used by body builders, accelerate pattern
baldness
Yes. Recent studies have examined the positive and negative effects
of oral testosterone supplements on body builders versus a control
group taking a placebo. The men taking testosterone supplements did
have a mild acceleration of frontal hair line recession according
to the investigators. The acceleration was observed in those men who
were genetically susceptible to androgenetic alopecia, as defined
by their family history of hair loss.
