Beard growth?

gonna go against the peater consensus and say just do topical minoxidil on problem areas of your beard. minoxidil beard gains are permanent which means you can stop after the hairs become dark and terminal.
yeah you could waste your time on topical dht but theres very little before and afters of topical dht beards whereas minoxidil has a lot of before and after pics on r/minoxidilbeards. plus youre going to have to get dht powder from some Chinese lab which could be contaminated with who knows what unless you want to get it tested.
if getting a thick sexy beard will improve your quality of life and confidence by a big margin then just do topical minox 5% foam for 6 months. a little bit of topical nitric oxide never killed nobody
especially if youre in good health.Terrible advice.
Topical Minoxidil will only work for 40% of men, while oral Minoxidil will work for 100% of men. This is because not everyone has the enzyme sulfotransferase in their skin, but everyone has it in their liver.Sulfotransferase is required to turn Minoxidil into its active form, Minoxidil sulfate.

oral minoxidil will turn you into an hairy ape if you have any level of bodyhair to begin with.breakfast for dinner enjoyer
-
@Chud Yes. From what I've read, hypertrichosis is common with oral minox usage. I guess it depends on how much hair you're looking to grow.

@PeatPioneer PPL seems to be a common vendor around these parts. I ordered from them like 4 years ago and thought their DHT was solid. But I've seen some people questioning their reputation as of late, so idk maybe the quality of service has declined. You could also order premade formulas from alphagels via email. But all their stuff is pre-dissolved in DMSO. If you're worried about heavy metal contamination, I would think DMSO products are worse than raws, but that's just my 2 cents.

A quick word of advice, if you plan on doing hormones from any underground vendor, I recommend getting on vitamin E and cilantro extract to chelate contaminants. There's never that "quality control" that exists with legitimate compounding pharmacies. Even if one batch you ordered was all good, the next one might not be so good.

@Santosh That's not really my assessment, like I said the one time I ordered from them I got good stuff. But it was several years ago. Take it up with the people having bad (recent) experiences with them.
I will say one thing, in their defense, and really any vendor's defense. I expect labs to get rudimentary things like T base and DHT base right. If they can't, then they're completely untrustworthy.
Those are not difficult items to get right. It's not like you're ordering some pre-made solution in oil that could be sterilized improperly. And it's not like you're ordering oxandrolone, or some other steroid that's very hard to get uncut.

What credit do you give to people randomly commenting that their delivery was late or that they got scammed without any further explanation on what the scam was exactly about.
I mean precisely. I need third party lab tests, the name of the compound they ordered, the name of the compound they actually received, the purity percentage.
People severly lack discipline and precision.
I test every single batch I receive from PPL. I order 1000€ worth of raw powders from them every three months, including exotic steroids that are usually faked. Every single one of them is exactly what I ordered and above 98% purity.
I couldn't care less about promoting them, it's just that I found a trustworthy vendor that constantly delivers and I can't be bothered trying another one.

Well if it were one or two hecklers I wouldn't give any credence to it at all. But it appears there's more than that. And it's cross-platform, meaning they've gotten complaints on more than one forum. If it is a smear campaign, then it's highly coordinated. And to what end?

There was a guy on the MESO-Rx forum who went into detail about getting shipped the wrong thing. Worse than that, apparently the number on his bag matched what he was suppose to get, but the actual contents were something else. He was taking it but he quickly realized something was wrong.
