Broccoli supplement (Sulforaphane) for better Minox results? 4/4/2023
Broccoli or sulforaphane supplements are unlikely to improve Minoxidil results due to the need for an unrealistically large dose. Tretinoin, micro-needling, and low-dose oral Minoxidil may be more effective for those lacking the necessary enzyme in the scalp.
