      A sugar gel called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) shows potential for promoting hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to hair follicles, similar to Minoxidil, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. It may benefit those who don't tolerate Minoxidil, but it is not a replacement for treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.

      The user stopped taking oral finasteride due to depression and now uses a topical finasteride/minoxidil mix with some scalp irritation. They plan to start derma stamping and have seen some improvement in their hair over three years, which others have noticed and encouraged them to continue their efforts.
