With the uptick of interest / results with Oral MNX, have been monitoring literature and this systematic review / pooled analysis popped up today. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32757405/ Abstract Background: low dose oral minoxidil (OM) is an increasingly used treatment for androgenetic...

HA serums aren't expensive, but can make equivalent HA serum for pennies on the dollar using bulk powder, distilled water, and a splash of preservative.

Great progress!

The only 'pen is better than roller' documents I've seen is marketing material... from the companies selling pens. All of the actual real studies I've seen have used rollers with success.

Wait... you mean you don't have a Kaepernick-like afro after FOUR WHOLE DAYS?!

@Maave The only bit of info I've been able to extract from my fluent translator through brief online communication thus far is that mixture 7 was the most stable within 6 months with byproducts generation occurrence at 0.048%... which is about in line with the rough google translation. I'll be...

Of course there are skeptics based on the shoddy info and amateur high school project level at best substantiation publicly disclosed thus far.

Are y'all using Adenogen? I mean, after all there's a published study on its efficacy and a guy on the internet posted success pictures... surely it's gotta help right?

The claim of legitimacy IS the continued discussion.
