why not just micro dose orally?

Both ways are said to work. I tried topically once and it is very difficult to wash out unless you take a bath, very similar to PS80 in the olden days or even nowadays, lol. If you exceed dosage, then watch out! Luckily we all stay home now but you can have explosive blow outs when you think you are only passing gas. The first day I took 30mg lol which is about ten times too much!

Castor oil is a pge2 agonist (on EP3 and EP4 receptors). We know pge2 increase Wnt/β-catenin, so it's not surprising castor oil does the same thing. Ricinoleic acid is also a weak pgd2 inhibitor
Topical castor oil is a nightmare, why not taking it oralyl?
Adding pgf2 is useless because pge2 analogs upregulate it .

I am using it because friends on my thread recommended it and I review products from time to time but I mean, HRT grows hair so I am not expecting much, just some increase in manageability or maybe faster growth or longer anagen. It costs about a nickel a day like oral minoxidil.

Any thoughts on how many mg/ml of Oral Castor Oil might be enough to increase or normalize the pge2 activity that was reduced by 325mg aspirin?

Honestly I don't know, but i suggest 2-5ml per day. More than that and you will have bowel problems
Right now I am taking 3ml oral castor oil with 1000mg aspirin. I think i will reduce the aspirin dosage later, 500mg seems powerful enough

WAY-316606 was mentioned in the article from above: "Dermal adipose tissue secretes HGF to promote human hair growth and pigmentation". It says: "Similar long-term effects upon HF proliferation and pigmentation are seen after scalp HF treatment with SFRP1 antagonist WAY-316606."
has anyone experimented with WAY-316606?
ps. not sure, it could be a critical component of any regimen, as it looks like a growth "booster". it has nothing with reversion/prevention of inflammation/fibrosis damages.

4 months on way 0,5%, see absolutely nothing, but niacin seems to help a little in shedding and thickness, almost 1 month on it 500mg x day.

How would one counteract fibrosis of the scalp with current available sources?
- Reaction score

Taurine, Copper peptides/GHK-CU, ALY688-SR and more
Would say, reverting fibrosis is the hardest part of the treatment.
Be sure to take inflammation/fibrosis preventing (like Cetirizine, Niacin and other anti-PGD2 remedies) and adipogenic (like Castor Oil and other pro PGE/PGF) stuff first.

Recently seen topical niacin/niacinamide. Haven't expected that it's so widespread. Mostly used to solve skin disorders and ageing issues. The prob is it's mostly available as niacinamide. The type of B3 vitamin that doesn't produce flush compare to niacin. That's bad. As the flush is the point.
Meanwhile, there are some products containing specifically niacin - Niacin/Liquide (10mg/1ml), Niacin/Powder (pure) and Niacin based creams (seems, at low concentration).
What's interesting is how easy to deliver niacin and what concentration could be optimal. For example, here is the "side" ingredients for Ordinamiry niacinamide/zinc product: "Water, Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Zinc PCA, Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, Xanthan Gum, Isoceteth-20, Ethoxydiglycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin." Which of them work as a vehicle? And could they be used a vehicle for niacin instead of niacinamide? Ideally, would be nice to force the company to produce similar product based on niacin too.

Hello, registered an account to provide my experience regarding long term cetirizine, niacin flush and aspirin. This may confirm / disconfirm the theory of this thread.
due to histamine intolerance, i took oral cetirizine everyday for over 14 years. 14 years ago i was NW1, now i am NW5. As you can see, it did nothing for my hair loss.
3 years ago i found out about niacin flush. Taking it every 2-3 days i was able to stop cetirizine altogether, something i couldnt miss a single dose before.
In terms of scalp itch, cetirizine did nothing. Niacin flush alleviated it by a good 70%. Stopped using the latter in early 2019, because i completely forgot it existed. (im forgetful)
Fast forward to 2019 July, i started taking 3x baby aspirin everyday and still do today. it was able to completely halt any scalp itch. The itch that accompanied with my hair loss for the last 14 years. It was amazing. I did not lose any more hair during this time. BUT never experienced any regrowth either.
During this time i could eat scalp-itch-inducing junk food like chocolate and pizza.
In regards to dandruff, i used to think it causes scalp itch and has a hand in hair loss, but aspirin never took the dandruff away, and i did not lose any more hair with them.
Lastly, theres as much scalp sebum 12 hours after shower as before. But again I did not lose any more hair because of it.
Wish I knew about aspirin 14 years ago.

I would be scared to take that much aspirin especially depending on other health conditions because it will cause blood thinning

Just a thought, and I'd be surprised if it hasn't been tested...But micro needling may produce the effects necessary to mature vellus hairs to terminal state.

More about topical B3/niacin.
I see two relatively easy and cheap solutions:
- to order ready to use any ready-to-use niacinamide-based lotion (like "Ordinary" one), adding niacin powder to it (there are legit vendors).
- to try any stuff with myristyl nicotinate. it's positioned as well penetrating and slow releasing niacin derivative. it's "flushable", but it does it so slow, that there is no visible effect. they say. hope, it's as potent as niacin. personally, seen no lotions with it, only creams
PS.
someone even mentioned niacin as a "kickstarter" of processes boosting hair growth in a patent (see the image). here is the full text: https://uknowledge.uky.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1027&context=nutrisci_patents

A little more about myristyl nicotinate.
What's interesting, a research dedicated to "myristyl nicotinate"/Nia-114 points that it acts as niacin, just much more gradually. so myristyl nicotinate probably has the same "flushing" potential. as discussed, it's critical to take "flushable" B3. to remove PGD2 from hair follicles' environment and, as a result, inhibit hair damaging process.
from the research:
"Our lead drug candidate, Nia-114 is shown in Figure 2. Nia-114 is a "prodrug" of niacin that is generated by addition of a hydrophobic "tail" to the niacin molecule. This slows down the release of Nia-114 into the living layers of the epidermis. After release into the epidermis, Nia-114 is converted back to niacin, which exerts benefit to skin. The slow release of Nia-114 into skin solves the side effect problem of niacin as a therapeutic drug by preventing the skin flushing side effects associated with free niacin."

Seems it's a mistake to take breaks from E/Tocotrienols.
Planning to keep it non-stop. Hope it's safe, at least for tocotrienols (not tocopherols).
The rest components of the daily routine are the same as before:
- niacin 1/1.5gm
- ceti (not so regularly, dammit)
- needling (not so regularly)
- extra: hagerty's mass (not fully sure about the efficiency, just funny. i'm curious about it's anti-gray potential mostly)
- extra: taurin (for another reason, but heard it affects hairs too. mildly anti-fibrotic. nothing to share about it)
ps. still choosing potential strong fibrosis reverting stuff.

I am going to try this anti inflammation / anti fibrosis protocol :
Topical etoricoxib
Topical setipiprant
Topical caffeine
Topical dexpanthenol
Topical L carnitine (it inhibits TGF-b like taurine)
Topical taurine
Topical niacin
What do you think?
