Topical rapamycin, metformin, a-kg grow hair Research/Science 7/9/2020
The conversation discusses the potential of topical rapamycin, metformin, and alpha-ketoglutarate (a-KG) for hair growth, with skepticism expressed about their effectiveness based on personal experience and existing use. It also mentions AICAR, known as cardarine or GW, which is not suitable for long-term use due to cancer risks in animal studies and its similarity to metformin.

A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.
ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.

community Self-Experiment - Topical Rapamycin or a-KB
A user plans to create a DIY topical treatment for hair loss using Rapamycin, possibly combined with alpha-ketoglutaric acid (a-KG). They discuss the concentration and formulation process for Rapamycin, considering safety and skin penetration, and intend to apply it every other day to the scalp.
community Anyone else tried BeauTop aka "Primal Hair"? I assumed their studies were faked/exaggerated but have had surprising results
A user tried BeauTop (Primal Hair) for hair loss, alongside a topical blend of finasteride, rapamycin, and caffeine, and noticed positive results. They cannot confirm BeauTop is the sole reason for improvement and are curious about others' experiences.
