There is no reason to believe that CB was actually the cause of any severe sides, nor upregulation. When a user tests the same sourced CB and it comes back at 50% pure, pretty fair to assume that what people have been using isn't what you'd get from the actual product if it were from a pharmacy.Read up until page 25 of this thread and is very interesting to hear all of your experience with CB.
I recently ordered 12 grams of it and will begin using it shortly after my current preliminary experiments come to an end.
I was wondering if someone can give me a 2-3 sentence summary of the CB "consensus" of this thread.
I've read that some people in here were able to maintain and get marginal regrowth.
Also, others like @tgfbeta had some severe side effects from CB, for which I'm really sorry and can only empathise with. Hopefully, you managed to fully recover.
Have any of the long-term CB users in here experienced the speculated AR upregulation, resulting in worsening effects?
Thank you.
- Addresses hair loss in a different pathway than finasteride/dutasteride/minoxidil
- Anecdotally rare incidents of side effects
- Expensive

Yes if I recall it was less than 50% pure.
No it wasn't from the same source (ie science.bio) however it was from another 3rd party website (kane I believe), which showed <50% purity of CB. It's always tricky when dealing with these sites because you can't confidently say what ingredients are in these supposed products.Thanks for the reply.
I must've missed this part. So someone purchased CB from the same supplier that @tgfbeta used, then tested it and it came out to be only 50% pure?
If that's the case, I thoroughly agree with what you're saying.

No but I want to if there is a reliable source I wouldn't have to test every time I bought.Anyone else in this thread still using CB?

Kane and friends are chinese resellers. They're likely sourcing from the same labs, or similar ones.No it wasn't from the same source (ie science.bio) however it was from another 3rd party website (kane I believe), which showed <50% purity of CB.

PITA if it sends any of them out of business... Do you have any ideas how to keep the legit ones in the loop?
e.g. a Reddit thread, a discord, etc?
Ah yes the ol' reliable Alibaba sellers LOL

@EndlessPossibilities I stand corrected. Last week they said no, this week they said yes. https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/threads/winlevi-is-now-available-in-the-usa.132598/Which country? You're probably a dipshit troll, as I just called my derm and pharmacy and neither said winlevi is launched. (US)

I used CB in a Stemoxydine vehicle a few years ago. I had the worst bout of insomnia ever and no positive result hair wise. You ought to mimic the vehicle in the clinical trial(s). I believe it was ethanol, PG and transcutol in a 1:1:1 ratio.Hi All, I received my CB and stemox yesterday. So 95% ABV is prohibited in California and other states wont ship here. Can I use Everclear 120 which is 60% ABV as a vehicle? Saw it available in Bevmo.
I don’t use cb but thats the same problem I have with too. I use the everclear 120 as a vehicle maybe it’s not strong enough to penetrate well. It could be the reason why I get very mild results from topicals and very mild side effects if any. It also doesn’t fully dissolve my ru.Hi All, I received my CB and stemox yesterday.

Thanks. Ordered Medical Grade Ethanol - 95% Ethyl Alcohol - for Hand Sanitizer Production from Amazon.Just buy some denaturated 90/96° Ethanol, it's often ethanol+Kamphor. Just be sure there isn't methanol in it.
