I don't understand what you find so confusing about this. Minoxidil increases the amount of hair you have as long as you use it. When you stop using minoxidil, you will stop getting the benefit. There are no long-term consequences. Yes, you will lose hair when you stop using it, but you won't...

Yes. Basically, you can't "get worse" with minoxidil. You can only return to where you would be if you never used minoxidil at all.

There is no documented case of long-term benefit from short-term minoxidil use. However, some people who use minoxidil on their faces to grow beards think that some of their beard gains persisted even after cessation. This is an un-studied use of minoxidil so all the evidence is anecdotal. In...

Do you know why they banned minoxidil powder? Or do you have a source saying they banned it? I just looked at Alibaba for the first time in years and noticed there is also no RU58841 on there anymore. Nevermind. I just found the answer...

Nope. I mix my RU from powder every month or two. I test every batch to make sure what I receive is identical to what I've always been applying. I've been sticking to the same regimen quoted above for nearly the last two years (about 21 months). I have about the same hair as when I started. If...

Yeah for about 5 months. Made a thread about it, check my profile. Long story short - didn’t notice anything positive or negative. I could’ve tried it for longer, but I really didn’t have high hopes to begin with and covid made shipping from Germany prohibitively expensive at the time. Also did...

Idk maybe. I’m gonna give it a bit longer before I change anything.

Been on RU + minoxidil for almost 1 year. 50 mg/day applied topically once daily for both. - Month 2 my shedding halted completely - I went from shedding 60-100 hairs in the shower to practically zero. - Month 2 to 6, zero shedding and impressive increase in hair growth. My hair grew in denser...

Fluridil doesn’t do anything in my experience

Do you have any before/after pictures? I’m curious. I’ve on RU for 10 months and I don’t think it’s doing anything.

Why are using that vehicle instead of a standard ethanol/pg one?

Exactly. I mean CB is an anti androgen that is currently approved by the FDA for use on children for cosmetic purposes. If they are wrong about the safety profile of this drug, i.e. if it does indeed cause systemic antiandrogenic effects, it will be over for the FDA. Now the FDA has no short...

Do 10 minutes of research online to make sure you do it correctly. Heat the pan as slow as possible and preferably put multiple 5 mg dots in a linear pattern radiating away from the area of the pan near the heat source. The CB dots should melt in order at the correct temperature with the dot...

Why don’t you guys who use experimental powders do some basic home purity tests? CB has a published melting point. Throw 5 mg into an old frying pan and heat very very slowly until it starts to melt. Monitor pan surface temperature next to the CB using a cheap infrared thermometer. If the melt...

I agree with you - drinking the liquid formulation in small amounts should be safe. It’s just minoxidil dissolved in water, PG, and ethanol. The most dangerous thing in there by far is the minoxidil. I can’t believe you feel OK using 50mg of minoxidil oral per day though. That’s an extremely...
