Reversal of hair loss in Mice with “sugar gel”
-
@engineer there was a guy on the rpf who had before and after pics of 7 months rubbing in topical progest-e.
Not that that exactly answers your question, but it at least is an example of pro-metabolic things helping hair metabolism as opposed to the common blood flow improvement methods. -
amazingly someone was talking about topical ribose 10 years ago

I had a realisation
It is not sugar you need, but ATP, so things like Ribose would be better
I think some people confuse the two
-
@wester130 someone quoted somewhere in here, that Ray said that the cells confuse pure ATP as leaking components from a damaged cell, and create an immune response, thus counterintuitive to use (I wonder if this is similar to how whole proteins induce a cytokine storm).
-
@LetTheRedeemed what does this mean for people applying topical ATP precursors to their scalp?
-
@wester130 Good q, it was implied that's bad, but I don't know beyond "immune response bad" is my assumption
-
i think he meant direct ATP supplementation, I remember the quote, he said taking direct ATP was bad
the precursors like coq10, ribose, creatine, magnesium malate which covnert to atp look Okay.
-
@wester130 oh wow so sorry I missed this, I thought you meant supplementation of ATP LOL.
-
Some good anedotes online of people regrowing lots of hair using coq10 for extended periods.
-
@Hearthfire topically?
-
No, oral. Just regular coq10, 400mg.

Will you be using ubiquinone? In my search to find if there is a pro-Peat consensus between the two versions, I see you mention about first using ubiquinol, but planned on switching to ubiquinone. Just curious of your take on it. I also see on that thread the mention of it being good for gum health. I used to use a toothpaste CoQ10 and used to have very good gums — per a dental check up after a 12 year absence. I think I'll attempt to kill two birds — hair and gums — with CoQ10.
