it's 72% alcohol of course . i got confused . never mind . i'm going to go through with this anyway . i got it in my head that the reason my results with minoxidil were so minor is because poor absorption and 72% alcohol is better than 30% .

Here is how i did it : 5% kirkland minoxidil : ppg 50%=30 mL alcohol 30%=18 mL water 15%=9 mL minoxidil 5%=3 mL I pour out 36 mL which leaves me with 24 mL of solution . 5% of that 24 mL is minoxidil so i have 1.2 mL of minoxidil . now i add 36 mL of alcohol so i have a 60 mL bottle of new solution with...

I'm not sure what you mean LAC . theres a table with the amount of minoxidil penetrated on the article . the reason i want to try it is because i used both foam and liquid and the results were minor . couple of month ago i tried to use just foam and i think it got worse . so im going back to liquid...

good . now i can ask my question . ive been reading this article : http://www.hairlosstalk.com/hair-loss-p ... rption.pdf and i thought to make an expriment of my own like sunray73 did . i want to buy the kirkland 5% and add alcohol so it will reach 90% like in the study and use 2.5 mL per...

are you saying theres 20 mg minoxidil in 1 mL of rogaine solution ? I dont think he is claiming that . he didnt say it turns 2% minoxidil to 5% minoxidil or that using 2.5 mL of 2% is as effective as using 1 mL of 5% minoxidil . he just stated that by doing the above the result in means of saturated...

http://www.hairlosswatch.com/hair_regrowth.htm it says here that the 2% version has the same inactive ingredients ratios as the 5% . but even with 20% ppg in the 2% version it's still leaves 0.5 mL ppg and 0.05 mL minoxidil which is 10% minoxidil in the saturated solution while the 1 mL of 5% leaves 9%...

An example is always helpfull. let's take kirkland's minoxidil : according to the manufacure it contains : 30% alcohol 50% ppg 5% minoxidil 15% water suppose i use 100 mL on my head (just so we can easily calculate numbers) . according to that study the alcohol and water evaporate much quicker...
