    TLDR Minoxidil in triamino alpha-cyclodextrin promotes hair growth effectively.
    The study synthesized triamino alpha-cyclodextrin (CD) and prepared an inclusion complex with Minoxidil (MXD) to evaluate its hair growth promotion effects. The complex was tested in vitro on hairless mice skins, showing that MXD in triamino alpha-CD had the highest substantivity due to electrostatic interactions with the skin. In vivo tests on female mice (C57BL6) over 30 days demonstrated that only MXD in triamino alpha-CD promoted hair growth, likely due to its significant substantivity.

      community “Just minoxidil” users, how are you doing now?

      in Minoxidil  23 upvotes 6 days ago
      Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for significant hair regrowth, with many users experiencing limited results or side effects, leading them to add finasteride or dutasteride for better outcomes. Some users report initial improvements with minoxidil but eventually require additional treatments to maintain or enhance hair growth.
