all you have to do, is put stevia in your minoxidil solution, that's right.

Natural Sweetener Stevia Could Help Bolster Common Hair Loss Treatment
Research in mice suggests that a derivative of stevia could make up for hair loss drug minoxidil's shortcomings.

How it works
- Improved solubility:
Stevioside's chemical structure allows it to form micelle-like structures that can encapsulate the poorly water-soluble minoxidil, making it more soluble and easier to deliver.
- Enhanced skin delivery:
The stevioside-minoxidil mixture was delivered to the skin via a microneedle patch that dissolved into the skin. This process created tiny pathways for the drug to enter the skin and reach hair follicles more effectively.
- Increased hair growth:
In a 35-day mouse study, the stevioside-minoxidil patch resulted in hair regrowth in over 67% of the treatment area.
- Improved follicle activity:
The treatment successfully nudged hair follicles into the growth phase, as indicated by darker, more active follicles.
- Comparison to standard minoxidil:
The patch significantly outperformed standard minoxidil, which only showed about 25% hair regrowth in the same study group.
- Early research:
The study was conducted on mice, and more research is needed to determine if these results will translate to humans.
- Not for home use:
The stevia compound is not for direct application to the scalp; it was used as part of a complex microneedle patch formulation.
Potential benefits:
If successful in humans, this could lead to more efficient and potentially safer hair loss treatments with a more targeted delivery syste
We need some org guinea pigs to run this method
