      The user switched from minoxidil to a homemade 2-deoxy-d-ribose gel and noticed no hair fall after two weeks, despite stopping minoxidil. The gel includes water, 2-deoxy-d-ribose, vegetable glycerine, 2-phenoxyethanol, sodium alginate, and rosemary oil, and the user reports healthier-feeling hair.
