I duno Ben, I think it you use one ml of 5% minoxidil solution 3x you'll be getting 15% total of minoxidil. Which is the same as using 1ml of Dr Lee's previous 15% minoxidil solution (xandrox?).

You'll be getting a larger quantity of minoxidil saturated in propylene glycol, but as I've said before, propylene glycol only dissolves minoxidil to a maximum of about 7.5% or so.

Btw Bryan, in the experiment above the foam was liquified prior to application. Does that enhance the absorption rate? If so, then it may not be a fair compairion between foam and solutiion? :dunno:

Dunno. It might. My main concern is that it was just a separate experiment with hamsters.

The point I was simply trying to make is that no matter how much 5% solution you use it will always be a 5% solution since 95% of the solution is made up of inactive ingredients.

Well, about 7.5%, to be a bit more precise.
