GlossarySulfation

biochemical process adding sulfate groups to molecules

Sulfation is a biochemical process where a sulfate group (SO₄) is added to molecules, such as hormones, drugs, or neurotransmitters. This modification often alters the molecule's function, solubility, or how it is metabolized and excreted by the body. In the context of hair biology, sulfation can influence the activity of certain proteins and enzymes involved in hair growth and health.

community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

in Research/Science 257 upvotes 1 month 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.
