A user made a 70/30 ethanol/propylene glycol topical finasteride solution but noticed chunks at the bottom. The discussion focuses on this issue with the DIY hair loss treatment.

The user is using 0.1% dutasteride, 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.005% caffeine in the morning, and 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.01% tretinoin at night. They are concerned about the solution vehicle's effectiveness in preventing systemic absorption and ensuring the products stay around the hair follicles.

Hair loss discussion involves ZeroMino from Minoxidilmax, with ingredients like Azelaic acid, Adenosine, Biotin, Caffeine, Niacinamide, Retinol, and Melatonin. Company refuses to disclose concentration of ingredients.

Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.

3aHSD enzyme's role in hair loss and a crowdfund for research. Goal: explore new treatments, study RU58841, and develop natural topical product.

A user ordered Alpha Plus from Anagenica, expecting it to contain specific percentages of Fin, Estradiol, Minoxidil, and CB0301. However, the received product's label showed different percentages, including a surprising 25% CB, leading the user to question its safety and accuracy.

A user is seeking a pharmacy to compound a topical solution containing Minoxidil, Finasteride, Alfatradiol, Melatonin, Latanoprost, and either RU58841 or Pyrilutamide. They prefer a professional compounding lab over DIY methods.

Topical finasteride with hydroxypropyl chitosan shows significantly less serum absorption and minimal DHT reduction compared to oral finasteride. Users need the specific chitosan formulation to avoid side effects seen with regular ethanol+PG solutions.

Collagen, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and MSM are used to improve hair appearance, making it fuller, thicker, and shinier. The user noticed significant hair improvement after resuming these supplements.

Avoid home-compounding topical minoxidil due to potential risks and complications. Use proper equipment and techniques to prevent aerosolization and ensure effective dissolution.

A user is considering ordering topical finasteride with castor and rosemary oil from a Turkish pharmacy. They are debating whether to include the oils or use only PG and ethanol as the carrier.

Minokem-N's composition is unclear, with concerns about unlisted hydrocortisone. Users discuss alternatives like AloATM, which lacks soothing agents, and the challenges of verifying ingredients.

The conversation discusses the sale of a premixed KY19382 solution for research purposes, highlighting previous unsuccessful group buys and the formulation process. Prices and purchasing options for KY19382 solutions and powder are provided.

The user is considering making a homemade topical finasteride solution using an ethanol-based carrier. They are inquiring if a solution containing partially denatured ethyl alcohol and benzalkonium chloride is suitable.

A user is making a homemade topical finasteride solution by dissolving crushed finasteride tablets in ethanol and PG. They are unsure if the final solution maintains the intended concentration after filtering and are considering adding more ethanol to ensure accuracy.

The user reports that MSM supplementation has thickened their hair strands while using finasteride and topical minoxidil. They also take zinc, copper, B-complex, vitamin C, vitamin D3, and K2, and plan to add omega-3, magnesium, astaxanthin, and pterostilbene.

RU58841 can be ordered as a powder and compounded at home, but it should be stored at room temperature to avoid crystallization. Pyraulatmide may follow a similar principle.
