    TLDR The method ensures Hibiscus rosa-sinensis flower extract is safe and effective for medicinal use.
    The study aimed to standardize the extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis flowers using qualitative phytochemical screening and quantitative HPTLC analysis of quercetin, an active biomarker. HPTLC analysis found 0.33% quercetin, while HPLC found 0.37% quercetin. Heavy metals and trace elements were measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), showing that levels of cadmium, lead, arsenic, copper, chromium, and mercury were within acceptable limits. This standardization method ensures better efficacy and safety for raw materials and finished products.

      community Are there ever going to be any oral DHT blocking treatments in the future?

      in Product  6 upvotes 1 year ago
      The discussion revolves around the need for future oral DHT blockers for hair loss treatment that don't have the side effects of current options like Finasteride and Dutasteride. One user suggests that the future of hair loss treatment will likely be topical anti-androgens, as they can target hair follicles without affecting the entire system.

      community So we’re just ok with taking a research chemical now?

      The conversation discusses the use of RU58841, a non-FDA approved research chemical for hair loss, with mixed opinions on its safety and effectiveness. Some users are willing to try it as a last resort after other treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride failed, while others express concerns about potential long-term side effects and lack of official research.
