This is the difficulty with diy--there's no official right answer. You'll probably have to experiment. I put a vitamin d gel cap in water. After an hour the gel cap had opened and somewhat dissolved. If it were me, I'd try small batches. Maybe try opening the gel caps with a pill cutter, then...

.2% is 2mg per mL.... So 4 gel caps per mL of solution. Does that help?

There are probably a few threads on DIY topical dutasteride. There are some studies that showed topical dutasteride + 1.5mm microneedling was effective once per week. Some of the dutasteride mesotherapy studies were as infrequent as once per three months. Generally, women have better responses to therapy...

The more I'm thinking about this--this was probably eight years ago?--a lot of us got impatient. A couple users here started a separate forum, StopAga. They thought if 1.5 mm was good, 3.0 mm would be better. If mild erythema was good, full on geysers of blood would be better--one dude posted...

I'm not saying it didn't work at 1.5 mm. I just didn't see the insane regrowth shown in the Dhurat study in 12 weeks and gave up. Back then, the expectations for results were probably too high; a lot of members probably stopped too early. I'm also older and more patient now. How painful is the...

How bad was butchering your scalp with the Derminator? Is numbing cream necessary? Years ago, I tried needling at 1.5mm with a roller once a week. This was when the Dhurat study came out. I didn't see much regrowth and forgot about it. About 3 months ago, after seeing the Follica thread, I...

It's definitely looking up for us baldies.I rarely check in here anymore -- maybe every 6-12 months to see if there's anything new. In the past, there rarely was; it seemed we'd be stuck with the Big Three forever. But the times are a changing.To me, Dermarolling seems especially worth getting...

Revivogen gets a bad rap on here. In every thread, at least a few people who are "experts" after a few months fighting hairloss and/or posting in these forums will come along and say "No one has ever maintained their hair using revivogen" or "it's snake oil" or "it's a scam." In a few of them...

I don't think keto shampoos are worthless at all. A couple of studies found it, in both 1 and 2 percent concentrations, to regrow about as much hair as 2% minoxidil. Keep in mind that this is without leaving it on the scalp for 5 or more minutes. Likewise, there was a very small study with a...

For all the trouble some go through to discredit Proctor's products and the trouble Bryan goes through to promote them, you could solve this pretty easily. Someone who is indifferent should buy a bottle, use it for 6 months and take before/after pics. One bottle of Prox-N (using a half ml/day)...

You've experimented more than most. Have you ever created a thread to review any/some/all the products you've tried? I'm sure that I'm not the only one that would be interested to read it.

No. But I'm sure we can agree that a non-existent picture thread of the back of my head isn't the same as the absence of a "single post" supporting revivogen. Fair enough. Again, fair enough. But the problem I ran into when I was sorting out treaments for myself was deciding: What is...

Every time Revivogen is discussed on here, inevitably, someone claims "There hasn't been one poster on here who ever had success with revivogen." Not true. I've maintained for the past 6 years using Revivogen and minoxidil. Admin on this site maintained for a while using revivogen and...

Ummm.... The abstract posted by DarkDays stated that subjects with cancer damaged livers had significantly lower serum levels of testosterone. In fairness, estradiol was higher, SHBG was unchanged.
