Hair Growth

Internal minoxidil produced lots of hair growth. 2.5 mg daily: too much; caused heart side effects, wrinkled forearms, extra fat below the ears, under the arms, under the chin, and puffy eyelids. 1.67 mg daily: heart felt okay, but wrinkled forearms and fat effects remained; good hair growth. 1.25 mg daily: wrinkles and fat effects were going away; hair was slightly better than external use only. Vegetable smoothies seemed to block effectiveness. Lots of cheese sandwiches also caused heart problems.

Hair Loss / Hair Growth

Raw-note based Oral Minoxidil experience for hair growth. Oral Minoxidil clearly improved hair growth, but the side effects were strongly dose-dependent. About 2.5 mg daily seemed too much because it brought strong heart side effects, puffy eyelids, wrinkled forearms, and extra fat below the ears, under the arms, and under the chin. Around 1.67 mg daily felt like the best balance because hair growth stayed good and the heart effects were more manageable. Around 1.25 mg reduced some of the wrinkle and fat-related side effects, but hair growth was only a little better than external Minoxidil alone. Raw notes also suggest vegetable smoothies reduced effectiveness, while Vitamin B12 helped lessen side effects and partly replace the need for internal Minoxidil.
