Has anyone seen less bloating when using foam minoxidil over liquid/oral?

Theoretically, foam doesn’t contain propylene glycol, which is what is thought to cause water retention in topical minox.

However, not having Propylene glycol would also make it less likely that foam minoxidil goes systemic, so you wouldn’t see the lash gains either, unless you are low inhib enough to apply it on your lashes.

Thoughts?

Did all three forms cause the same amount of side effects for you? I would imagine that oral being the most systemic would have the most positive and negative sides, with topical in the middle, and foam last.
 
I have no bloating from oral 5mg, but forehead skin irritation from topical, probably from the inactives.

Really? You’re not bloated from oral minox? Are you taking any ancillaries with it?

Weird. But mirin. Most people see crazy bloating from test and oral minox.
Anecdotally, I've heard people say that hyper responders to oral minox tend to bloat the most. This doesn't really make sense mechanistically, because response is based on the SULT1AI Enzyme while bloat from minox is a completely separate mechanism, but if that's what's happening it might just be because he isn't seeing the same amount of gains that hyper responders do either

To add to anecdotal evidence I am not a hyper responder but I have seen some improvement, and any visible improvement is actually A LOT of actual improvement when it comes to hair density.

What about your collagen? Minoxidil rapes the fuck out of it. Are you using GHK-Cu to compensate with it or what?

No it doesnt, I go out a lot, and ppl usually guess I am about 4-5 years younger than I am.

I use retin-A. Recently got my first morpheus 8 and botox

Are you sure we are talking about oral minoxidil :dafuckfeels:?
Because it doesn’t seem like you got two of the most common downsides of it which is very weird.

I guess you tolerate it very well.
