Sources selling oral minoxidil that’s Jano tested?

[austrianoak]

Any EU domestic sources for the OM?

Yes. There are two types of 5a reductase, the enzyme which converts testosterone to hair killing DHT, known as 1 & 2. Finasteride inhibits type 2 only, Dutasteride inhibits both. Type 1 is plentiful in the sebaceous (skin oil) glands in the scalp.

Dutasteride is MUCH more potent than Finasteride. That said, many men take doses far higher than those used for hair loss without side effects.

Start at the lowest dose, every other day, and see how it goes. If you can tolerate it, it's very effective at protecting hair, though finasteride is as well.

The combination of either with oral Minoxidil is the most effective treatment known for stopping and reversing (within limits) androgenic alopecia.

I think we both should start a Dut test. 0.5mg daily for 12 months see what happens.
Oral Minox 5mg on top is granted of course.

I've seen studies confirming Oral Dutasteride/Minox the hands down most effective combo.

While I was digging for that link, I found this. Crazy 3 month results!

I really ought to get my DHT tested. I feel fine at the moment on .25mg / Fin daily. Would be good to note this baseline if I crash it on Dut, so so know where I need to get back to.

what is the maximum effective dose for oral minox? Is 5 mg that much better than 2.5 mg ED? How about using 2.5 mg oral in combination with the topical solution? thanks

I wouldn't use topical with oral. Topical is a crapshoot as to what amount goes systemic, and nothing brings on sides (for all BP class meds) like fluctuating blood concentration levels.

5mg is unquestionably more effective than 2.5. However, 2.5 is still beneficial and no harm in starting with it. allowing sides, if any, to diminish over a month or so, and titrating up to 5mg later if you choose. Hair benefits diminish above 5mg. A single daily dose is my advice, though this is debatable given its half life. I'm in the camp that thinks a higher spike, and a long drop are better than a lower, but even level over 24 hours from 2 doses.

Regardless of dose, the key is discipline and patience.

Endure any sides (they're minor if you have any at all, and usually disappear completely for 99%.).

Endure the shedding phase. Look at it as a sign it's working.

Understand 6 months of daily use is required for the initial visible improvement. Hair grows slowly. I felt it in the texture of my hair before seeing it.

I have been using 5mg for 6 months, it works on all existing hair follicles on the body. Doesn't grow any new ones. Very effective

 

[Ghoul]

Grew plenty of new ones on me!

Mostly in places I'd rather not have grown them lol, but learning to shave new areas is a worthwhile tradeoff for a better head of hair.

Any source for minoxidil raw powder?
Where I live (Europe) it is not legal...

Also, I like to homebrew the hair solution, it is cheaper and I can adjust the dose...
But now that QSC is gone, I don't have a source anymore...

Any help?
There is SigmaAudley China Peptide but it is not Jano tested like QSC...

Thank you

Bizzarre. So what exactly do they prescribe for hair loss now lol. Try Sesame instead. If you're a costco member, it's much cheaper.

I just went through ro.com. Waiting for response now.

But yea even Amazon has it listed 2.5mg and 10mg. But when I go to do a visit all it offers is finasteride or visit to discuss OTC products

 

[glpfun]

I think ro does 2.5 mg and hims does 3 and India pharma does 5 but who knows what it actually is. I have some. Should I send some into Jano? It’s pretty expensive like 5 dollars for 10 lol
