Oral Minoxidil is OVERHATED. And potentially one of the Holy Grails of Softmaxxing.

Low dose oral Minoxidil is genuinely so overhated, yes we know "muh bloat" (only side effect btw) But what else can you say about it??

Thank you for the thicker and extra facial hair (if you want it)

JFL at people who complain about having to shave more, it's literally not that deep just fucking shave you moron, and low dose doesn't make you get hair growth THAT much to where you'd have to go from like a weekly shave to a daily shave. Don't be retarded.

Easy of use, doesn't need any application just take the pill and forget

Thank you for the mogger lashes and brows, I already see a difference in about 2 weeks on minoxidil

Thank you for the longer and denser hair

JUST FUCKING LOL at people crying of bloat, a good 90% of people saying this shit don't actually hop on minoxidil. It depends on so much factors and doesn't even bloat most that use it. This forum is so fucking shit and it's just a cesspool of people regurgitating things other people say or basing things off of theoreticals

ACTUALLY TRY THINGS FIRST BHAIS.

It's amazing for me and I don't bloat, because I already didn't have a round looking face, most of you fuckers are already boneless as hell and don't have angularity, hop on minox then say minox is bloating you jfl at not having bones:lul::lul::lul:

Nocebo drug of death, stop overly hating on this drug because of Chad saying it bloated the fuck out of him (This nigger roids to death btw) And Jonas' thread on it. Especially if you don't use it.

Some people anecdotally say it doesn't stop bloat, but they could be bad faith and just say that to reinforce their shitty idea that oral minoxidil is shit

Most people I know that are actually on it and have shown proof they're on it, say that eplerenone does the job.

Science says it should tbf

It's preferable to avoid anecdotes when it comes to these things. You never know if these people are "confirmation bias"-ing or not

Furomeside

Furomeside is superior

Eplerenone is just a hormone blocker which decreases water retention as (technically) a side effect, furosemide is a diuretic that gets rid of water retention directly

Think of it like "X causes Y" and you either "I block Z to decrease Y" or "I decrease Y" clearly decreasing Y directly is superior and this applies as furosemide is superior in decreasing water retention

That's true which I'm not denying, but water retention doesn't automatically equate to subcutaneous water retention, let alone facially. "Water retention" is such a broad spectrum, we retain water every day naturally. That's why its better to just use it and see what happens.

No way people think if they have an angular face minoxidil is gonna just completely rape their angularity, this is literally a laughing stock of an idea that some people present here.

Exactly, that's why people need to try shit. Especially when it comes to side effects reported

"Ohhh I'm not getting on finasteride or dutasteride because people report pfs!!!" Fucking try it first you faggot you don't know if you'll get it

True, it's a buzzword.

Emphasis on the angularity part, that made me think for a bit

I don't think even that those on the opposite side of the angularity spectrum (fatcels and boneless incels) will see a noticeable effect

Look at this dude

I felt some like I had less boner in my first few weeks(4 weeks)

After that, it was normal prob my body is new to it ...


No bloat prob because I'm on diuretics(40mg Eplererone), coffee(which is another mini diuretic) and I workout

I have almost 2 inches of growth on my lashes

It gets to point when I'm not squinting I see my lashes

This both my upper and lower lines

Very worth it and I'm only a week or 2 in, can't wait to see results after a month

Castor oil has no scientific backing just drop it if you're on minoxidil at that point. Oils are literally just moisture sealants, this also goes for things like vaselines

Topical is too conditional

Muh bloat is cope.

Maximum script dosage is 40mg. Maximum effective dose for hair growth is 2.5mg..... They have done studies on higher amounts, and found no meaningful statistical difference on those for hair growth.

It's just apparent, whenever I wash my face my brows look thicker too. It's just visual lol your brows aren't actually growing.

When hair strands are moist/oiled because light can reach it and reflects on the follicles more. It's a good fraud honestly

no i mean they really seem more thick after a couple months of using, because every now and then i forget using it when they are dry and i still see a difference to my brows back then but i might just be schizophrenic

How badly does it even bloat you? I mean my face is bloated but I’m assuming that’s because I am 23% body fat.

Interesting, if you have these studies on hand drop them and I'll read it

Or I'll just research later

Exactly, there's a dude on tiktok running like 5mg he's a pretty popular growing LM creator, he runs like 5mg and he doesn't have bloat.

His only critique was having to shave often but he has those middle eastern hair genes already.

He's the dude that promotes the estriol cream for skin

I've gotten zero bloating. My face is still the exact same, surely after 2w I should see bloating lol

And yeah lower that bfp

Anything below 15 unless you really have mass. For me I even had hollow cheeks at like 33% bf. For some reason I just don't store a lot of fat in the face and I have really projected high set zygos and a wide mandible that probably helped.

It's very apparent now that I'm in the 18-20% bf range. i don't even need to get leaner

lol what? how can you not be consistent with a pill?

If anything that should be a topical issue
 
No it’s the supply cost, Nigga I am broke.
Nigga its like 30usd for a full year supply of minoxidil.

nigger cant make 30 usd a year for mogger misc I'm crine
 
is that just the undisputable dose

like is there any reason to do less or more
Apparently 2.5mg provides the max for hair growth and that there's no return on increasing the dosage for hair.

2.5mg being low dose just gives you max hair benefits with less negative sides of course.

Doing less may be to alleviate sides but that's just from nocebo uncles on reddit thinking oral minoxidil is frying their blood pressure when they get a singular headache
