HairlossTalk: So the goal for researchers as far as finding topical DHT inhibitors should be a focus more so on finding one that, once absorbed, isn't metabolized so quickly?
Dr. Lee: Yes. One that doesn't get carried away by the circulatory system. They did that with progesterone by putting it into an oil base so that it had a slow, timed release. I have been doing a lot of work with a Biochemist in the Bay Area using liposome's, and that works very well at keeping the active ingredients stationary in the scalp once absorbed, but the expenses involved make it prohibitive. So yes, we're still looking for the holy grail.
There is a site on the internet that uses liposomes as carriers for spironolactone, I forgot the name of it but it does exist.
