    Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are long, unbranched polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units that play a crucial role in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues. They help maintain structural integrity, provide lubrication in joints, and are involved in cell signaling processes.

      community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      in Research/Science  255 upvotes 1 week ago
      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.
