Deoxyribose sugar gel may stimulate hair regrowth similarly to minoxidil by enhancing blood supply and follicle activity. Human trials are necessary, and current products have mixed results.
community Natural sweetener Stevia found to turbocharge male pattern baldness treatment: Mice given Stevia patch had 18 times better absorption of minoxidil and hair coverage of 67.5% in bald areas after just 35 days.
Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.
community Fin, min, stevia and the journey
The user applied minoxidil and finasteride topically for hair regrowth, experiencing significant results but stopped finasteride due to side effects. They later added stevia to minoxidil, noticing potential improvement in hair density, particularly at the front.
community Hopefully this works better for hair than as a sweetener. I'm not getting my hopes up though. Everything seems to work on mice.
A Stevia patch with Minoxidil showed positive results for hair growth in mice. A user experienced increased hair shedding after using finasteride for 12 months and briefly using minoxidil.
community Let's talk about the use of minoxidil 15%
Minoxidil 5% is no longer effective for the user, who is considering stronger minoxidil or oral options despite availability issues. Suggestions include trying minoxidil 15%, oral minoxidil, microneedling, and exploring other treatments like finasteride and dutasteride.
