    This study investigated the effect of 10% calcium gluconate on the activation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and its impact on the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) using different centrifugation methods. Conducted in vitro with 11 blood samples, the study compared simple centrifugation (900g for 7 minutes) and double centrifugation (900g for 7 minutes followed by 1500g for 15 minutes). Results showed that simple centrifugation with calcium gluconate significantly increased PDGF-BB release (842.7 ± 4.0) compared to other methods, suggesting that this approach may enhance PRP preparation for clinical applications.

People who have tried it shared their experiences with the serum as well.

      A 23-year-old experiencing diffuse hair thinning has chosen a treatment stack including topical finasteride, a blend of rosemary, peppermint, and pumpkin seed oils, procyanidine B2 spray, ketoconazole shampoo, and scalp massages. They avoid minoxidil due to family history of side effects and oral finasteride due to high estrogen levels.

      A user experienced high estrogen levels after 10 months of taking 1mg oral finasteride but is happy with hair regrowth. They are considering switching to topical finasteride and are also taking DIM and Zinc supplements.
