Whey Protein and Hair Fall
I am under 5% minoxidil and 1mg finastride hair fall treatment routine(to say the least). I want to know If I can take whey protein since I workout at the gym to build some muscle? Will whey protein intake definitely accelerate hair loss and render the treatment useless? I am a vegetarian, so I do not take non-veg food.
