    TLDR A new method accurately measures three compounds in rat plasma from pine needle extracts, aiding future research on its use for hair loss.
    A UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed to quantify taxifolin, quercetin, and catechin in rat plasma after administering Pinus massoniana needle extracts, traditionally used in China to prevent hair loss. The method showed good linearity (r² > 0.99), accuracy, precision, and stability. It was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic studies in healthy rats, both orally and transdermally, providing a foundation for further research on pine needle extract as an external preparation.

      Redensyl, which is a topical alternative to Minoxidil for hair loss. It may have advantages such as not making the hair greasy and lasting longer after discontinuing use than minoxidil. There are some positive reports from users, but also some negative ones, so it's unclear how effective this treatment will be in comparison to Minoxidil and other treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.

      A user shared their initial experiences with The Ordinary hair density serum, which contains Redensyl (taxifolin). They observed increased hair volume but also developed pimples, likely due to the serum stimulating sebaceous glands.
