Hairloss is mainly genetic, but there are certain foods which causes insulin to surge and DHT to be released. Things such as bread, pasta, grains, refined carbs etc. Mostly the western style diet, which is shit, any processed food also, including junk food.

Whey protein seems fine, but grass fed animals are better than grain fed animals, but mostly grain fed in the west because it's more economical.

I've found some guys shed when lifting weights and drinking protein shakes, one way round it is to buy Spiro cream and apply to the scalp before working out, i've read that this works, although I don't shed from exercise or drinking protein shakes, so no need to try it out.

I think there is a question over whether its the protein shake making you shed or the testosterone spike from an intense work out. My money is on the testosterone spike. Could be wrong, this is my opinion.

Usually when a person invests in expensive Whey protein is when they are serious about their workouts.
Otherwise there no reason to supplement with fast absorbing whey since it taste like crap.
Ive had them all
Saying that its your intense serious workout that contributes to hairloss before its the whey.
Working out is shown to dramatically increase testosterone and hgh .
The conversion to dht from testosterone is the culprit here not protein.
I probably should of said this on my first post

Hi guys, I'm not shedding at the moment, but wondered if working out/whey protein could cause shedding.

I think you guys are right about testosterone and hence DHT increasing whilst lifting, although I've heard this is short lived.

Anyway, I've decidied to continue working out, I'm also on propecia and figured I'm doing everything i can do. Besides, I'm going to go bald anyway, better to be buff and bald than skinny and bald a bit later.
