community Using a 2-deoxy-d-ribose gel. My experience 2 weeks in.

in Treatment 38 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

community Hair-loss hope: Natural sugar stimulates significant regrowth

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 2 years ago

A naturally occurring sugar, 2-deoxy-D-ribose, in a hydrogel form, shows promise for hair regrowth similar to minoxidil in rats. The user plans to synthesize it for topical application, seeking input from others.

community Deoxyribose sugar gel worked just as well as minoxidil

in Research/Science 18 upvotes 1 year ago

A deoxyribose sugar gel may work as well as minoxidil for hair regrowth by boosting blood supply to hair follicles. Some users discuss combining it with minoxidil and cetrizine, but caution is advised due to potential risks and lack of consistent results.

community Just received my 2 Deoxy D Ribose wish me luck🫡

in Treatment 243 upvotes 1 year ago

A user is trying 2-deoxy-D-ribose with distilled water for hair growth, observing new hair and skin pigmentation changes. Others compare it to Minoxidil, expressing interest and caution about its effectiveness and safety.

community Scientists May Have Accidentally Found a Way to Reverse Hair Loss Without Drugs

in Research/Science 875 upvotes 1 year ago

2-deoxy-D-ribose is being explored as a hair loss treatment but is not proven effective in humans and may be costly and inconvenient. Minoxidil remains the most effective treatment.
