Could either of these herbs be causing or (accelerating) me to go bald
in the front sides?  Maca and/or Ho Sho Wu  (also known as Fo-Ti)??

I have been experimenting with these herbs for a few months.  I feel
great.  The only thing is I think I started to bald in the front sides
shortly after beginning to take the herbs.  But this could just be
wishful thinking on my part, but in any case I am wondering if either
of these herbs could be causing or accelerating this since they
probably do affect hormones, testosterone, etceteras.  I am only 28,
but I guess I could just be experiencing male pattern baldness now.
But maybe not?  I like how I feel taking the two herbs and don't want
to stop to test whether they are causing me to bald unless there
actually is a chance that this is possible.  Better said----a
significant chance that is.  I mean if there is no chance than I might
as well feel as good as possible while I go bald.

hmmm, having surfed around it looks like Maca can increase  and too much
testosterone can cause hairloss! must admit I seem to have lost more hair
lately.. I just put it down to a phase but I have used maca powder for a
while this year, on and off and it could well coincide with my new phase of
hairloss.. eek!
