Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community Hair-loss hope: Natural sugar stimulates significant regrowth
A naturally occurring sugar, 2-deoxy-D-ribose, in a hydrogel form, shows promise for hair regrowth similar to minoxidil in rats. The user plans to synthesize it for topical application, seeking input from others.
community Scientists May Have Accidentally Found a Way to Reverse Hair Loss Without Drugs
2-deoxy-D-ribose is being explored as a hair loss treatment but is not proven effective in humans and may be costly and inconvenient. Minoxidil remains the most effective treatment.
community Using a 2-deoxy-d-ribose gel. My experience 2 weeks in.
The user switched from minoxidil to a homemade 2-deoxy-d-ribose gel and noticed no hair fall after two weeks, despite stopping minoxidil. The gel includes water, 2-deoxy-d-ribose, vegetable glycerine, 2-phenoxyethanol, sodium alginate, and rosemary oil, and the user reports healthier-feeling hair.
community 22M After 3 years of minox and almost 2 on fin, I've got a NW1 and my ideal hair... but my face is fucked/aged from minoxidil and I want to stop it
A user reported significant facial aging after using minoxidil for hair loss, despite a good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle. They plan to switch to dutasteride and possibly stop minoxidil.
