    TLDR Quercetin can help heal wounds better if its skin absorption is improved.
    The document discusses the potential of quercetin (Que), a flavonoid with strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and anti-microbial properties, in enhancing wound healing and skin care. Despite its benefits, quercetin's poor solubility limits its skin penetration. The paper reviews various formulations and composite strategies developed to improve quercetin's cutaneous penetration, detailing the mechanisms of wound healing and the therapeutic performance of quercetin at each stage. Additionally, it explores different drug delivery approaches to enhance the transdermal penetration of quercetin.

      community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

      in Research/Science  2448 upvotes 3 years ago
      The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.

      community Pyrilutamide - your experience?

      in Product  12 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation is about the lack of improvement in hair loss after using Pyrilutamide for 14 weeks, with the original poster unable to use Finasteride due to depression. Replies suggest that Pyrilutamide, like RU58841, may not work for everyone, and a more potent drug is being developed by Kintor.

      community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

      in Research/Science  13 upvotes 6 months ago
      A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.

      community what do you think about Ell-Cranell + Quercetin

      in Treatment  7 upvotes 1 year ago
      The post discusses the use of El-Cranell, which contains Alfatradiol, and Quercetin as a treatment for hair loss. The user is seeking recommendations on the amount of Quercetin to add to the solution. The conclusion of the document is that Quercetin has been shown to stimulate hair growth and inhibit DHT, and combining it with zinc/copper may have a synergistic effect.
