The conversation discusses using RU58841, Minoxidil, and finasteride for hair loss treatment. It focuses on homebrewing RU58841 while using other treatments.

The conversation is about using vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate for hair growth by reducing DHT binding to dermal papilla cells. The original post about vitamin C's pH levels and sebum control was possibly removed by a moderator.

The user does not respond well to minoxidil and is seeking an alternative to Tretinoin to upregulate sulfurtransferase activity for hair loss treatment. No specific alternative treatments were mentioned.

Azelaic acid is considered a strong DHT inhibitor with no reported sexual side effects, making it a potential alternative for those who cannot use finasteride. It can be used with minoxidil, but may cause skin irritation.

Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to differences in sulfotransferase enzyme levels in the scalp, affecting people with conditions like ASD, liver disease, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments like topical tretinoin, microneedling, and using minoxidil sulfate instead of regular minoxidil can improve results for those with low enzyme levels.

A user shared their 13-month experience using finasteride and ketoconazole 2%, reporting significant improvement in hair growth, especially in the crown and temple areas. They also mentioned occasional use of biotin, multivitamins, and zinc, but noted recent increased shedding and hair loss in unexpected areas.

A user shared their 3-month progress using a topical solution containing 0.3% finasteride, 7% minoxidil, 2.2% ketoconazole, and 0.2% biotin, reporting improvements in thinning areas. Another user mentioned using oral finasteride, oral minoxidil, dutasteride, and minoxidil foam, discussing costs and side effects.

The conversation is about creating a DIY topical finasteride solution using ethyl alcohol and propylene glycol. A user suggests using a compounding pharmacy instead.

The user resumed finasteride and added 5mg oral minoxidil and biotin, noticing quick progress in hair regrowth. Other users discuss dosages and express surprise at the results.

Apple cider vinegar, when taken as 1 tablespoon diluted with water daily, does not interfere with the absorption of oral minoxidil or finasteride.
