You guys are cookin with gas now, I can't understand what the hell you're talking about at this point. Keep it up.

@CrumblingCookie What about ornithine a-ketoglutarate? I'm leaning towards trying this rather than BHB.

@CrumblingCookie said in Reversal of hair loss in Mice with “sugar gel”:

I've been wondering whether BHB or butyrate would be better energy substrates to hair follices rather than dextrose.

@CrumblingCookie Are you aware of this potassium BHB product?

@Mauritio Have you actually gotten all of that to dissolve? I think I would need to prepare two separate solutions in order to get all of those ingredients to dissolve.

NMN is sill pretty expensive if you're buying stuff that's verifiably real.

The dextrose I sometimes spray onto my scalp an hour prior to showering, but I can't handle having it in my hair all day long.

But yeah, I hope you try it out.

Blocked. Easy.

@Mauritio I've been applying bromocriptine to my scalp on an irregular basis for quite awhile and I can't say that it's produced any miracles.

@Mauritio That's an unfortunate conclusion. NMN is quite expensive.

@Mauritio

I've been applying the apple skin powder for almost 5 months. I am continuing to see some temple regrowth, but not enough regrowth around the entirety of the scalp for me to proclaim any miracles as of yet. I will continue with the application until I reach 12 months. This has been the forumula over the past couple months:

15ml vodka
1/16 tsp apple skin powder
1/32 tsp niacinamide

Used over the span of a day or two. I could probably mix into a larger bottle--I would think that the vodka would keep the solution safe fresh for at least a few days. I may add some glucose to it and see how much of it will dissolve. I apply glucose to my scalp on an irregular basis; the problem with it is that it leaves my hair in an unpleasant condition that is stiff and sticky. The problem with applying the apple skin powder is that it discolors the scalp purple and red and also temporarily darkens the hair. I am able to put up with this issue because I live a semi-hermetic lifestyle, but most people will not be able to deal with the discoloration.

Any practical experiments we can run on this subject?

@smelllikacowshit Yeah beat loved nitric oxide and juicy pumps.

I have applied Diclofenac topically to the scalp, but the gel was too messy for me to continue the habit for a meaningful length of time. I recall using it for PGD2 inhibition.

@Mauritio

15ml glass dropper bottle

1/32 tsp of powder = 135mg
~15ml distilled water (fully dissolved)
= 20mg PB2 = 0.13% solution

/

1/16 tsp of powder = 270mg
~15ml distilled water (not fully dissolved)
~15ml vodka (fully dissolved)
40mg PB2 = 0.26%

The study I saw on procyanidin B2 for hair used a 1% strength procyanidin B2 solution. But this apple skin powder has additional polyphenols and procyanidins in it other than just B2, so it might be comparably "strong."

@Mauritio I've been applying this product to my scalp for almost 2 months and it seems to be having a positive effect on hair growth, at least in the temple area.

@Mauritio are you still experimenting with apples / procyanidin-B2?

Uh oh, Q-anon retardation back on the menu?

@LetTheRedeemed I mentioned to you in another thread that I don't like urea. I experimented with consuming quite a lot of it, I don't remember how many grams per day. I think it stressed my kidneys. My ankles became swollen, my toe became red and gout-like. My hair fell. Probably the worst health experiment I ever tried. So, just be careful and don't ignore negative symptoms.

haidut, it's always great to see you posting here, as opposed to posting on the Vitamins Are Toxins Forum.

I wish I had stocked up on AlloP before you discontinued it. That stuff would lean out my face and improve my appearance, although I didn't notice any other effects. I can't afford to by this new version on a regular basis, but I may trail it, eventually.

@LetTheRedeemed I don't want to influence you too much because I'm honestly not very knowledgeable. You can continue using urea; just make sure to report back to us if it seems to harm your hair density.

I'm getting slight regrowth on my temples, but that could be due to a dozen different factors.

I use C-Salts Buffered vitamin C. I can't recommend it for any particular reason, it's just what I've always used.

@LetTheRedeemed

Personally, I wouldn't recommend applying urea to your scalp. My hair is/was at its worst state ever, and this was the culmination of applying urea to my scalp for over a year (among many other factors.) It's my understanding that urea denatures collagen. My hair is improving since I ditched urea and started applying vitamin C to my scalp, which is an action that I took in an attempt to reverse the perceived damage done to my face/scalp skin wrought by urea. Vitamin C is, of course, considered supportive of collagen formation; as are red light and needling, which are common hair loss treatments.

In keeping with the topic of the thread, I am also currently applying dextrose to my scalp on a somewhat regular basis. I will let you all know if anything significant seems to happen.
