Kratom and hair loss

What's up people. I started using kratom a few years ago, but am not a daily user. Despite taking relatively low doses (3-6 grams) twice or three times a week, I notice that my hair thins dramatically days after using Kratom. And when I stop for a month or two, it starts growing back slowly. Does anyone else experience hair loss while taking kratom? And If so, how do you mitigate it? I would hate to give up Kratom entirely because of this side effect. I wonder if it has anything to do with other factors like quality, or contaminants. I appreciate any feedback I can get. Joey... keep doing your thing brother. You're amazing my dude!

    I've heard this from many people but it has never been my experience. I do get this quesiton often and I'm not really sure what to do about it. Have you had bloodwork done in the last year? I'd be curious to see your test levels. If your hair grows back (!) when you stop using kratom then I would agree, it is probably the culprit. All the information I've read on kratom and hair loss is inconclusive. There is no evidence that it is the case, but again, people ask this quesiton a lot :(

  • Yes Joey, I have had bloodwork done. Everything is in normal ranges. I tried making the tea with the aeropress like one of your guests suggested ( the chick, I forget her name), but I still experience the hairloss. I wonder if Kratom affects testosterone or DHT?  I hope it doesnt lower natural testosterone 😧. Anyway, I'd like to say thank you for what you do. It's hard to find genuine people, especially on the internet, these days. Everyone is out to make a buck, and could care less about the wellbeing of society. My name is Lawrence BTW. I'm a firefighter in NYC. Your videos have helped me greatly navigate through some rough times. Keep doing what your doing. And I wish you more success in the future!
