2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR), a sugar molecule, was found to be 80%-90% as effective as minoxidil in promoting hair growth and neovascularization in androgenic alopecia models, showing promise for alopecia treatment. Research/Science 9/3/2024
2-deoxy-D-ribose, a sugar molecule, is found to be 80%-90% as effective as Minoxidil in promoting hair growth, showing potential for alopecia treatment. Concerns include high cost, lack of human studies, and possible side effects like diarrhea and nausea.

community Groundbreaking sugar gel might be a miracle hair loss solution for men and women
A sugar gel called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) shows potential for promoting hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to hair follicles, similar to Minoxidil, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. It may benefit those who don't tolerate Minoxidil, but it is not a replacement for treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.
community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?
Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
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.
