Got some premixed 5% on its way to me, planning on using it on one corner of my hairline and seeing how it goes. Any recommendations on how much (in ml) I should use, and once or twice a day?

Yeah just get a small bottle and pour in 20-30ml minoxidil in there + RU and mix it up. A batch is just the quantity of something produced in one operation.



I use TEMPOL. It's damn cheap, but isn't that stable in solution. So you need to make somewhat fresh batches.
There is much evidence for ROS/oxidative stress implication in Androgenetic Alopecia.
Since you mix RU with kirkland (which I plan to do), what is the % od RU in that solution? 2% ? 5% ? And how much and how often do you then apply this solution? Those factors and (in)difference in them could result in very much different amount of RU applied daily. So is it f.ex. 2 % RU in minoxidil, and 1 ml applied once daily? Morning, night?

Sorry if this seems overwhelming somehow, but since we are talking of an experimental drug, every anecdote does count, and I personally am very interested in yours...

Hope that's ok!

Cheers

It doesn't work ... RU (from Kane) is a scam ...

Says a "half tranny" who finds finasteride too weak. That's some goddamn nice confirmation bias dude. Let's just call everything a scam and all go on estradiol and cut our balls off. Yes, yes!

Meanwhile let me rock my norwood 1 with my hair transplant + RU and finasteride. To each his own I guess ;).

Well 5% was used in the human clinical trials. I personally use 5% and 1ml-1,5ml.

That's a concern with finasteride as well. I don't know how concerned we should be about it.

Either that, or it just happened that your follicle sensitivity increased WHILE you were using finasteride or any Anti-androgens.

No one has had results from RU alone so far? it has to combined with something, including minoxidil.

What about those who added TEMPOL?

Also, has anyone had results without even using minoxidil?

Does anyone here use RU and minoxidil? When would you apply the RU? In the middle of the day sometime? minoxidil liquid takes forever to dry....

As far as I know minoxidil is the optimal vehicle for ru?!

It is? Oh... I don't really know a whole lot about RU and was trying to save myself the hassle by ordering a premixed solution... Could it interfere with the minoxidil in any way though? And I'm fairly certain I get through more than one months supply of minoxidil in a month so wouldn't be sure how that go with the adding of RU... Lastly, anyone have any issues with their orders getting seized by customs?

Everyone should have info on their hormone levels. It will help identify the problem more efficiently.

I think people with higher Estrogen would achieve better results on RU since they're getting that little boost. This needs to be confirmed, so get a hormone test so you don't attack this blindly.

minoxidil solution is only alcohol and Propylene glycoleum as far as I know.
That's what I put my ru in.
