I started oral minoxidil and got a lot of body due to amounts im taking. 5mg daily

Why such high dosage: I’m growing my hair as fast as possible and minoxidil seem to be of great help but I’m an impatient fuck so I overdone it (kinda).

I’ve gotten hair on all the past of my body pretty much, even shoulders. My friends said it was disgusting jfl (just shave it off since it’s temporary growth that will go away do you stop minoxidil.) and my hair growth as been pretty good. My parents have noticed a lot more beard coming in

WHY I MADE THIS THREAD
I’ve barely made progress when it comes to eyelashes. They just won’t fucking grow. I have pretty shitty fucking eyes due to high eyelid exposure and bad pfl + trash orbitals.
I NEED THE EYELASHES.

THEORY
The amount of enzymes that will activate the oral minoxidil once inside your body (SULT1A1) present in different people
varies from one to another.
I’m guessing I have very bad production for that enzyme. Which won’t prevent hair growth on most places (they tend to have higher SULT1A1 activity in those areas)
But will prevent eyelash growth which has very low of that enzyme activity

SOLUTION
obv the solution would be to boost that enzyme. After light research I found out that

Tretinoin and sodium mitabisulfite have been shown to augment that enzyme.
If anyone finds other ways, pls share.
I will be trying both Tretinoin and sodium mit and sharing the results

Nah it used to now it won’t, Canada will check anything that’s from India it’s a new thing. And as I said, Ik about latisse I’ve done it before I couldn’t source it anymore now I can. But oral minoxidil grows hair so it’s not coming out of my cycle and I wanna take full advantage of it. For that I need maximize SULT1A1. I also need beard to cover philitrum and rescessed chin

If I’m low on the enzyme like think i am. Then topical isn’t going to make a difference. And it’d be cool if we could figure this shit out for future reference to people not getting result from minoxidil.

You can space out cycles if you want without losing too much. Or go for latisse

ive been on 3mg oral min for 10 months and my eyelashes and eyebrows only had minimal results . if i wanted thicker brows and lashes i would have to add topical with it . i tried the ordinary lash serum but that isnt gonna get me to were i wanna be so i went with latisse for my lashes and in 2 week my eye lashes look like dragons wings. im almost 2 months on the topical min on the brows but its way better but i dont thinks its gonna be enough but imma wait 6 months for full results to see if i wanna add latisse to that area as well

This is so far from the truth, you see the difference between oral minox and topical is that in topical minoxidil much of this conversion happens in the hair follicle via sulfotransferase enzymes. On the other hand Oral minoxidil the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream and converted to minoxidil sulfate in the body, so it’s less dependent on the enzyme activity of individual hair follicles if none at all, useing tret won’t boost the effectiveness of oral minox, if you aren’t seeing results I would recommend trying to take oral minox 2.5 mg as the sweet spot and taking it SUBLINGUALLY which can be way more effective.
