    GlossaryMinoxidil Sulfate

    active form of Minoxidil that promotes hair growth

    Minoxidil Sulfate is the active form of Minoxidil, a medication commonly used to treat hair loss. When applied topically, Minoxidil is converted into Minoxidil Sulfate by sulfotransferase enzymes in the scalp, which then stimulates hair follicles to promote hair growth.

      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.

      A user shared a hair growth stack using minoxidil sulfate, valproic acid, bimatoprost, blue copper peptide, and other ingredients, emphasizing a gel-based formula for better skin tolerance. Another user suggested adding a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor like finasteride or dutasteride for more effective long-term results.

      Combining tretinoin with minoxidil may improve absorption by exfoliating the scalp, but results vary. Users suggest starting with low frequency to avoid irritation, and some recommend additional treatments like finasteride or microneedling.
