CALLING ALL RU USERS - Time for another official RU thread

[Afro_Vacancy]

Hi, Im kind new to this forum, what is RU and where can I get it here in the US? Thanks.

www.thekaneshop.com sells RU in a non-kosher manner.

RU was being developed as a treatment for acne and hair loss but the company dropped it because they didn't think they would make $$$. It never made it to advanced research trials. So people are now violating the copyright and using it themselves.

finasteride/dutasteride work by preventing testosterone from forming DHT, where DHT binds to androgen receptors and this somehow kills your hair.
RU works by antagonizing the androgen receptor, preventing DHT from binding to it.

Thanks David, I started to look into it, seems like its only in a powder form & one has to play chemist to create a solution, maybe I'd try it if people really claim its working, but isn't that spironolactone S5 cream the same thing? I'm only using minoxidil/ax acid right now, looking for a topical anti-androgen presently. Some people so lucky who don't have the hair loss gene, my father-in-law in his 60's, full head of hair. Sucks.

Buy powder.
Dump powder in Stemox.
Pour on head.

S5 cream is something totally different hat I have not looked into.

If you don't like the powder, you can pay a modest premium and buy it pre-mixed using Kane's K&B solvent. If you're willing to play chemist, you can see my thread and read post #10:

Yes, I saw that on their page, will also check out what you mentioned, word of mouth, especially on here, is always the best review. Thanks.

I've been using RU for almost 2 years.
It definitely does something because I notice a huge change in shedding. At first daily shedding drops off to almost nothing. Barely a dozen hairs a day. Then after 4-6 months I get a huge shed where it feels like I'm going to lose it all overnight. It then goes back to almost nothing again.

I haven't had any sides from it.

Unfortunately, I'm not maintaining. I've definitely thinned out over the past two years and have lost ground at the hairline. I keep using it because I hope it's slowing down the rate of loss at least.

How much were you using? Did you use Kane's RU

I don't measure it exactly anymore so maybe that explains the lack of results. I'd use approximately 80mg daily.

Yes, I order through Anagen. No problems but they're a bit slow. If you can estimate when you're close to running out it's best to order well in advance.

Yeah Im using 3% and I haven't seen any difference in shedding amount but granted Im using some performance enhancing drugs that are known to cause hair loss so maybe it is working. Im thinking I will buy 5% next month. Im also using nizoral, finast and minoxidil.

 

[ohmanohno]

I've been on RU for about 2 years

I use roughly 40 mg a day mixed in adenogen

Great thickening and minor regrowth - no growth of hairline.

Had some gyno issues with finasteride and it ballooned with dutasteride but still persists after quitting both. Not sure if RU contributes to this too.

 

[Bagels]

Currently using 50mg/day in 2mL neogenic for 2.5% concentration. Its been 2.5 months and hairline is worse and even behind it is very thin.

Going to up to 100 mg/day in 2mL for 5% concentration. Might be overkill but having a bit of a freak out at the current state of hairline. Hopefully its just an RU shed and will get better. I've also started derminating inside the hairline which may cause loss/thinning??


Plus, not even sure if this kane RU is the real deal or if its gotten old and lost efficacy. My legit/tested RU can't get here fast enough.

Who is selling legit tested RU? I thought Kane was tested but again no one knows when a supplier can go rogue.

 

[Bagels]

gb, people share cost of testing.

 

[buckthorn]

yeah, I would chip in to get kanes RU retested. That being said, even if it comes back 99.99999% pure, are you still confident that every batch will be that way?

How much does it cost to get it tested? Maybe we can set something up

 

[Bagels]

people have had this discussion for years. sometimes its legit ru sometimes its not. sometimes it could be an old batch thats lost efficacy. better off finding a better source, but that takes effort, gb, and people who know what theyre doing

 

[Prada1]

What does "gb" refer to?

 

[Swoop]

RU is certainly legit from some sources for a long time already. If it doesn't work, then it's not for you. Simple as that.

It wouldn't even make sense for a source to sell bunk stuff suddenly. That would be pretty damn stupid and pretty illogical. You want to keep people hooked to RU, not scare them away and not let them drop the treatment lol. Any current hair loss treatment makes you somewhat of a drug addict, whether it's minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, RU etc. After all you need to use it continuously.

 

[Marky9829]

I've just received some pre made RU from Kane shop to ad to my regime of dutasteride and minoxidil.

How much should I be applying each day to my hair line?

Also do I apply it straight after my night time minoxidil or do u have to leave it for a certain time? Thanks
