Cheaper here https://www.caymanchem.com/product/29072/2-deoxy-d-ribose
Interesting snippet from their description:
"Topical administration of 2-deoxy-D-ribose increases blood vessel formation and accelerates wound healing in a rat full-thickness cutaneous wound model." -
@OliverCloasov Yes, but they won't let you order unless you are a business or lab.
-
@AinmBeo Ah you're right, unfortunate
-
@Hearthfire yeah d-ribose is different. I know, I forget what context he said that about, too - like topical or just higher consumption.
-
@OliverCloasov @AinmBeo @Hearthfire
I'm open to a group buy if anyone of us can find a supplier to private individuals.or, what if we all beseeched Georgi to make an experimental cosmetic in a one off batch and we be his guinea pigs?
-
@OliverCloasov it increases NO so according to danny roddy it is le bad
-
@LetTheRedeemed I'm open to it
-
@sneedful Interesting, did he elaborate on the mechanism and the degree?
-
@LetTheRedeemed Wonder what would happen if I bubble hydrogen through ribose infused water?
Found this on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/RPI-2-Deoxy-D-Ribose-500-Grams/dp/B01N0X8O06
-
@sneedful dangit. in that case it could be working on hair growth thru the estrogen function: increase water retention, ie bloodflow
-
Anybody recall Peat's quote on sugar helping hair growth? was he talking topical? I wonder what topical glucose + ATP + Progest E might do.
-
This is so simple I could believe in it.
Thanks for sharing it.

I found this thread talking about it, from a podcast/conversation with Ray Peat and Danny Roddy titled
"Lost Conversations with Ray Peat #1: The Purpose of Hair, Luciferianism, and Obama as a CIA CreationLooks like that episode has been nuked off the internet by the censors. Probably for that title and the discussion content.
-
@Hearthfire brooo you came thru king.
I'm thinking a topical spray of glucose + a pro-energy substance like t3/niacinamide/aspirin!
-
@ThinPicking right? Now I'm even more excited to try Ray's suggestion of topical glucose.

@Mauritio
You said this in the old rpf thread above:Interesting . Add a bit of T3 and caffeine to the mix and and you're good to go.
I already apply t3 dissolved in gin, so I might add plain table sugar and see if I notice an improvement.
With the t3 I notice an almost immediate improvement in hair quality and texture . Similar to the difference of a bad vs. a good hair day.Did you notice anything? I'm wondering if you need to go pure glucose, not table sugar (50/50 fructose/glucose)

It definitely helps . But I switched to using Apple juice because, it has sugar as well and because of the polyphenol content. Actually I dissolved a full capsule of swansons apple polyphenols in a bit of juice and applied it to my scalp . It really made a difference , but it was such a mess to apply that I stopped.

@Mauritio gotcha. Thanks for sharing

a month ago someone mentioned topical ribose completely unconnected to this study though
