Apple polly, GSE w/minoxidil

[NYVic20]

Im thinkin of adding apple polly and gse to my minoxidil; How much capsules do you need to crush and mix with the minoxidil?

You just have to open, not crush, the capsules. I'd go with less. One 500mg apple poly and maybe 1-200 mg of GSE. The problem is if you use too much, some of the mixoxidil might precipitate. I'm not sure which is less soluble, but minoxidil is almost saturated, which means if you add more minoxidil powder, it won't dissolve. I also don't know how much apple poly will dissolve in ethanol, since it is water soluble. PG can dissolve almost anything. I make a separate vehicle for my apple poly, and do add a little GSE in with the minoxidil.

Hey, CCS

I am doing 5% GTE in a 4oz bottle using a dropper for now...I am getting apple poly soon....

How about adding 5% Apple poly to the 5% GTE solution ?
Would that work ? Or will Apple Poly Cancel the effect of GTE? or vise versa?

The chemistry of things is often baffling to me, but do you guys know if GTE or apply poly even survives in these vehicles that you're using? Also, do you know if they need to be room temperature or cold? Finally, do you know what the half-life is of these products once you create them?

True, I also tought about this......maybe whatever goes on our hair...is not effective anymore. How about making a new mini solution everytime? get 1ml of water and add the needed amount from a capsule to make 5% extract...quite a hassle but should work no?

 

[hairhaircomeagain]

I will suggest to not add anything in the minoxidil. Let it be what it is. Adding stuff to it that you dont understand the chemical reactions with can make it less or 0 effective. Rather make another topical with whatever extra you want and see if that works.

I agree with hairhair. But I don't think everclear will hurt it. It is already too late since I already mixed my minoxidil with other stuff, but not a lot of powders, though.
That said, maybe the RU should only be made in everclear and pg?

as for preserving, I don't know. the fridge is probably our best friend.
