    compounds with antioxidant properties found in plants

    Phenolics, also known as phenolic compounds, are a class of chemical compounds that consist of a hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded directly to an aromatic hydrocarbon group. They are widely found in plants and have antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from damage. In the context of hair and alopecia, phenolics can be beneficial due to their potential to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, which are factors that can contribute to hair loss.

      The conversation discusses the lack of public information on the chemical structure of PP405, a hair loss treatment, and the challenges of synthesizing it without a patent. It also explores a patent related to hydrogen-based topical formulations for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

      community Are we underestimating systemic absorption with homemade/generic Topical Fin? (HPCH vs. PG/Ethanol formulations)

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 1 month ago
      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.

      community Don't use PP405 from everychem. it is likely fake.

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 8 months ago
      PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.
