Done With Oral Min.10 Or 15% Minor Recommendation Needed

[Obsessive]

MXS is definitely more effective, But it has a larger molecule weight (40% more larger than standard minoxidil), but unstable in aqueous solution and degrades.
A 10% MXS would be needed for absorption and batches would need to be made every few days for maximum results.

Yep, I'm aware of the lower stability once in solution. From a synthesis perspective, it really shouldn't be cost prohibitive. I think it's a matter of supply/demand at the moment. MW compounds > 300 penetrate the skin in many formulations. Vehicle will be important. How do we get a supplier of MXS? Sigma-Aldrich prices are not reflective of the real cost of MXS.

Watch for edema in feet too. Increased BP is a common effect as your body holds water to compensate for the initial drop in BP. I started taking a diuretic drug to see if I could offset the edema, but it was just too much pharmaceutical roulette at that point.

Did you get anxiety, due to having a raised heart rate from lower BP?

Ive been looking for mxs suppliers, but cost is too high. China

Ive been looking into purchasing mxs last year, I think its out of our reach due to cost. I think it would be difficult to buy from china due to it being sulfuric acid. 50mg daily is needed for topical 5%

Only anxiety from wondering if my veins would explode while working out. But still less anxiety than losing hair lol

With the right vehicle (good penetration), a lower percentage should work way better than MX, in theory. For all we know, only a few percent of MX get converted to MXS in scalp. I'd be willing to do a group buy if we can get a reasonable price for MXS.

Big difference in cost from other countries compRed to china.

I took my first dose of oral minoxidil yesterday.
2.5mg
My arms feel a little sore & my chest feels tight.
my body sort of feels like I have a slight fever. random soreness in areas.

...I dont think I can do this lol. I might just have to stick with topical Min & hope for the best.
If anything, the money i spent on Oral minoxidil didn't go to complete waste; because I can always say "at least I tried it"

 

[Warmer82]

Start on 1.25mg then increase to 2.5mg in couple of weeks.
Side effects will decrease over a couple of weeks.

Guys, remember the Sinclair studies. Efficacy can be achieved at 0.5 mg and 0.625 mg. Results will be very slow but it's better than nothing.

I font think it would be proper minoxidil sulphate as it would cost over £10,000 per month supply
More like it will be sulfuric acid added to mix.

why? its not much different from minoxidil and there is already a Brazillian study where they used it at 15% for like 6 months

My pills are 2.5mg each....How would I go about lowering the dose to like 0.5 for example?

Quarter them with a pill cutter. Most derms start patients out on 0.25/0.5 mg doses.

I think people on forums are taking too much too soon and struggling with the sides.

I agree with a low starting dose. People jump on 5mg or more and sides are too much for them and quit. We are on this for long term.

i was just pointing out your price estimate was completely ridiculous. I am in the process of sourcing it btw

China and india would be the cheapest source, but would it be legit.
I used to buy many products from china and had problems with around 80% of companies with quality issues, then there are scammers aswell.

Any luck sourcing?
10% solution 1ml once a day 100mgx30days=3000mg= 3g

I see! Very interesting.
I thought 5mg-10mg was too much. But I guess even 2.5mg can be a lot to handle

I'll look into getting a pill cutter.
hopefully i can cut them into 4 pieces/ or 2

Any luck in finding a good source of mxs??
