research A New Strategy for Consumption of Functional Lipids from Ericerus pela (Chavannes): Study on Microcapsules and Effervescent Tablets Containing Insect Wax–Derived Policosanol
In this study, researchers developed microcapsules and effervescent tablets containing policosanol from insect wax, achieving high encapsulation efficiency and rapid water dispersion, effectively addressing the challenges of solubility and psychological acceptance in consuming insect-based lipids.
research The triacylglycerol synthesis enzyme DGAT1 also catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerols, waxes, and retinyl esters
This study found that DGAT1 exhibits additional acyltransferase activities in vitro, including MGAT, wax synthase, and ARAT activities, suggesting these could be relevant to its in vivo functions.
research Hair growth promoting effect of white wax and policosanol from white wax on the mouse model of testosterone-induced hair loss
This study found that white wax and its extract may promote hair growth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and increasing cell proliferation, with efficacy surpassing finasteride.

DHT promotes hair growth in certain areas but causes scalp hair loss, highlighting a frustrating irony. Minoxidil is mentioned as a treatment that grows hair everywhere, including the scalp.
community The Oral minoxidil eyelashes are insane
Oral minoxidil significantly enhances eyelash growth, with some users experiencing increased body hair. Finasteride is used alongside to manage hair thinning, with mixed results on body hair growth.
community Bryan (the guy who reversed aging) shares treatment that reversed his hair loss
A person improved hair loss from Norwood 3 to Norwood 2 using a topical formula with minoxidil, dutasteride, and tretinoin, plus oral minoxidil and red light therapy. There is skepticism about the treatment's effectiveness and concerns about misleading comparison photos.
community Going to inject NAD+ and GHL-Cu into Scalp for a few months
The conversation discusses a user's plan to inject NAD+ and GHK-Cu into their scalp to improve hair health, with concerns raised about the risks of infection and necrosis. Alternatives like finasteride, dutasteride, microneedling, oral minoxidil, and scalp massages are suggested.
