Some of you were interested in the recent topical melatonin for hairloss study in the British Journal of Dermatology, and I promised I'd report on the details when I got the full paper. Here's a whole paragraph from the "Materials and Methods" section near the beginning:
"The participants applied a 0.1% melatonin-alcohol solution (melatonin, high-purified; Helsinn Chemicals, Biasca, Switzerland) or alcohol solution alone topically once daily in the evening for 6 months. The daily amount to be applied was 1 mL given in eight spray hits (8 X 0.128 mL = 1.024 mL)."
Pretty simple dosing: 1 mL/day of a simple 0.1% melatonin solution in ethanol.
