These products are available from compounding pharmacies. I am in the process of attempting to acquire them and use in conjunction with microneedling and or PRP. If you have used any of them, chime in.

PTD.-DBM is a topical hair product which helps activate the Wnt-Beta-catenin pathway via inhibition of CXXC5. This articular pathway has been proven to help rescue DHT induced hair follicle miniaturization.
Purity: >98% | Molecular Formula: C124H22N61O28S2
Molecular Weight: 3082.65 | Sequence: RRRRRRRRGGGGRKTGHQICKFRKC
Content & Potency: 0.5% solution in a 20ml spray bottle.
Suggested dosage: Apply topically to area of intended hair regrowth once daily.

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper complex that was first identified in human plasma, but has hence been found in multiple locations such as saliva and urine. Copper peptides are small, naturally
occurring protein fragments that have high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body
function. GHK-Cu has a variety of roles in the
human body including, but not limited to, promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin
fibroblasts, and promoting blood vessel growth
Molecular Formula: C28H52CuN12O8
Molecular Weight: 748.346 g/mol | Sequence: Non-Peptide
Content & Potency:
Suggested dosage:
Topical: 5mg/ml (5%) topical foam provided in a 50ml foaming applicator.
Topical: Apply 1ml (2 pumps) to scalp once daily at night.

Thymosin Beta
Thymosin is a hormone secreted from the
thymus. Its primary function is to stimulate
the production of T cells, which are an important part of the immune system. Thymosin also assists in the development of B cells to plasma cells to produce antibodies. The predominant form of Thymosin, Thymosin Beta 4, is a member of a
highly conserved family of actin monomer-
sequestering proteins. In addition to its role as a major actin-sequestering molecule, Thymosin Beta 4 plays a role in tissue repair. Tβ4 has been found to play an important role in protection,
regeneration and remodeling of injured or damaged tissues. It has most recently been shown to help regrow hair in addition to PRP.
Molecular Formula : C212H350N56O78S
Molecular Weight: 4963.506 g/mol | Sequence: Ac-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro-Asp-Met-Ala-Glu-lle-Glu-Lys-Phe-Asp-Lys-Ser-Lys-Leu-Lys-LysThr-Glu-Thr-Gin-Glu-Lys-Asn-Pro-Leu-Pro-Ser-Lys-Glu-Thy-lleGlu-Gin-Glu-Lys-Gin-Ala-Gly-Glu-Ser52
Content & Potency: 3000mcg/ml subcutaneous injection provided in a 5ml vial.
Suggested dosage: Inject 0.25ml subcutaneously daily for 20 days.

Zinc Thymulin
Thymulin is a nonapeptide produced by two distinct epithelial populations in the thymus first described by Bach in 1977. It requires zinc for biological activity. The hormone is involved in T-cell differentiation and enhancement of T and NK cell actions. Thymulin has neuroendocrine effects as well. It follows a circadian rhythm and physiologically elevated ACTH levels correlate positively with thymulin plasma levels and vice versa. A recent study was done on Zinc Thymulin to test its efficacy in the treatment of hair loss. The study indicated that topical treatment with zinc thymulin significantly increased hair growth over 6 months; further, there were no systemic or local side effects from the treatment. The zinc thymulin metallo-peptide optionally also improves endogenous hair pigmentation. For example, by stimulating melanogenesis in grey or greying hair.
Molecular Formula: C33H54N12O15
Molecular Weight: 858.85 g/mol | Sequence: Non-Peptide54
Content & Potency: Topical foam provided in a quantity of 50ml foaming applicator.
Suggested dosage: Apply 1ml (2 pumps) to scalp once daily at night.

Interesting. It shows a lot potencial and combined could give good results. Unfortunately non of it will be marketed in a short time and is very expencive and difficult to obtain, especially in Europe.

Wasn't PTD.-DBM the one from a couple years ago, that people were saying would bring one back to a Norwood-1?

If so, I remember some hair forum I was in, where a lab synthesized it. I bought some and never even received it. If it worked, wouldn't we have heard something?

With a molecular mass of all these compounds greater than 500, a daily application will require dermarolling every single day.

More peptides that are good for hair:

Decapeptide-10 (CG-Keramin2): would provide nourishment to scalp and hair root for a healthier and thicker hair shaft through the stimulus of angioedema.

Octapeptide-11 (CG-Seperin): would inhibit cell death in hair cells caused by oxidative stress (excess free radicals)

Octapeptide-2 (Prohairin-β4): would promote hair growth by activating the stem cells in hair follicles

Decapeptide-18 (CG-WINS): would lead to the formation of hair placodes and generates new hair follicles by β-catenin and the SHH signal.

Decapeptide-28 (CG-Rehairin): would stimulate hair follicles, activates the anagen phase, slows down the categene phase to inhibit hair loss.

Oligopeptide-54 (CG-Nokkin): would inhibit hair loss by the down-regulation of DKK-1, BMP4 and TGFβ-1 signal

Oligopeptide-71 (CG-Edrin): would promote hair regrowth by activating the WNT signal

I see pics of Octapeptide-2 (Prohairin-β4) on some sites. Interesting one but seems to be mislabeled.

I am on TB-500 + GHK-CU + BCP-157 daily scalp injections. I'll add PTD/DBM eventually.

Walking down the peptides rabbit hole.... What's the verdict on mk677 for hair growth vs hair loss ? Where is the feedback from folks who tried it last year? On reddit a few testimonies that it grew hair like crazy but studies show that IG,1 level didn't rise and GH is not a good thing for hair.

I thought the general consensus was that it made your existing hair grow faster (along with nails and better skin quality) but wouldn't do much in terms of actual regrowth

Okay thanks for bringing that consensus to my attention. Although without rising IGF1 I wouldn't see how it would be magic. But the internet being what it is there are websites claiming it does indeed raise IGF1 level.

EDIT: would it cause hair (on the scalp) loss?

It absolutely raises IGF-1 quite significantly. The question is how much that actually benefits sufferers of Androgenetic Alopecia?

I haven't seen anything at all to suggest it might cause hair loss.
