Did you mean encapsulation efficiency?

Glossaryencapsulation efficiency

percentage of substance successfully enclosed within a carrier system

Encapsulation efficiency refers to the percentage of a substance (like a drug or nutrient) that is successfully enclosed within a carrier system, such as a liposome or nanoparticle, compared to the total amount initially used. For example, if you start with 100 milligrams of a drug and 80 milligrams end up inside the carrier, the encapsulation efficiency is 80%. This measure is crucial in fields like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to ensure effective delivery and controlled release of active ingredients.

community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years

in Treatment 49 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
