🚨HAIR LOSS TREATMENT UPDATE🚨
TOPICAL MINOXIDIL SULFATE UPDATE
We’re working to improve topical minoxidil’s formulation inspired by Dr. Ralph Trüeb’s research.
And we’re working with a cosmetic manufacturer in China that worked with L’Oréal on Stemoxydine.
This is topical minoxidil sulfate in a hydrogel emulsion (Liposomal) at 5%.
Preorders are available now

Either it doesn’t go systemic becuase it isn’t getting into the scalp at all
Or it’s going systemic.
Either why it defeats their stated goals.
Replying to @anagenxyz
Holy cope post…
You didn’t even try to explain why yours supposedly stays only in the scalp.
What is the mechanism behind it besides wishful thinking ?

🧪 HAIR LOSS SCIENCE 🧪
MINOXIDIL can be ENHANCED.
But could Stemoxydine help a weak responder? And what is tretinoin actually changing?
The question is not just how much minoxidil you apply. It is how effectively the follicle can activate it, handle it and respond to it.
That is why I am interested in two different angles: tretinoin and the activation step, then Stemoxydine and the follicle’s local environment.
First, look at the ACTUAL scalp photographs and trichoscopy below.
Elattar et al. followed 35 people using a Stemoxydine product for three months. Median hair density increased from 120 to 160 hairs per cm².
A = before treatment.
B = six weeks.
C = twelve weeks.
These are Stemoxydine results, NOT a Stemoxydine plus minoxidil trial. There was no separate placebo group, so the changes cannot all be confidently attributed to the treatment.
Still, they give us a reason to investigate the bigger question: could we improve minoxidil response by addressing more than one bottleneck? 🧵

4/5 SECOND BOTTLENECK: WHERE DOES THE ACTIVE DRUG GO?
Making minoxidil sulfate and getting it into the relevant cells are different problems.
Jimenez-Cauhe et al. studied 41 people taking oral minoxidil for at least six months.
17 of 20 with LOW follicular sulfotransferase activity improved: 85%.
9 of 21 with HIGH activity improved: 42.9%.
That is an interesting association, especially because higher follicular activation is generally associated with better TOPICAL response.
The authors proposed that liver-generated minoxidil sulfate and cellular transport could help explain the difference.
ABCC3 is an export transporter, an exit route for sulfated compounds. SLC22A9 was proposed as an entry route into follicular cells.
But they did not measure those transporters or directly track minoxidil sulfate moving from an outer-root-sheath keratinocyte into a dermal papilla cell. That precise two-cell route remains unproven.
More export is not automatically better either. It depends on WHICH cell is exporting the drug.
This study also does not prove that switching from topical to oral turns responders into nonresponders. Nor can it establish that women inherently respond less: men and women received different doses.
Interesting biology. Not a personalized switching rule.

5/5 SO WHERE COULD STEMOXYDINE FIT?
Stemoxydine is a hypoxia mimetic. The proposed mechanism involves inhibiting enzymes that normally help break down HIF-1α, a regulator of the cellular response to low oxygen.
The idea is to influence that signaling, not deprive your scalp of oxygen.
It may help shorten KENOGEN: the interval when a follicle is empty before another hair emerges.
Now connect that with the transport question.
Research in a breast cancer cell model found higher SLC22A9 expression and lower ABCC3 expression under chronic low oxygen. The 2024 minoxidil paper used this as part of its hypothesis about drug uptake.
My question is whether Stemoxydine could produce a useful change in follicular signaling or drug handling that complements minoxidil.
Plausible research direction? Yes.
Proven improvement in minoxidil response? Not from these studies.
No experiment here shows Stemoxydine changing those transporters in human follicles, increasing follicular minoxidil sulfate or improving a minoxidil combination over minoxidil alone.
That is the trial I would like to see: the same minoxidil regimen, with or without Stemoxydine, measuring hair growth AND what happens to the active drug.
The goal is not adding more random topicals. It is finding the actual bottleneck.
Tretinoin can irritate the scalp. Discuss combinations with a dermatologist rather than treating this hypothesis as a proven regimen.

PP405 and stemoxydine might enhance minoxidil’s efficacy by shifting cellular metabolism & inducing pseudohypoxia.
Stem cells seem to favor this environment. Add tretinoin on top & you could also promote cell turnover and differentiation, potentially giving you more mature cells with greater enzymatic activity relevant to hair growth.
Much of this is still mechanistic, but there’s literature that makes the theory plausible.

🚨 SEVERE HAIR LOSS → THIS MUCH CHANGE.
These photos are labelled 2 and 14 months on HRT.
Their reported treatment history included estradiol, spironolactone, progesterone, oral finasteride followed by dutasteride, oral + topical minoxidil, and microneedling.
In androgenetic alopecia, DHT activates androgen receptors in genetically susceptible follicles, gradually driving them to produce smaller, finer hairs. Reducing that androgen signal can help some follicles recover.
One approach is to inhibit 5α-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. Finasteride and dutasteride work here.
Reducing testosterone also reduces the raw material available to make DHT.
But suppressing testosterone is an UNFAVORABLE trade-off for hair loss alone when those broader hormonal changes aren’t wanted.
Another approach is to block the androgen receptor.
Investigational GT20029 takes a different approach: getting cells to break down the receptor protein itself.
That removes the protein, but doesn’t permanently delete its gene.
Estrogens may also help support anagen, the active growth phase, although their direct effects on human scalp follicles are complex.
This case cannot tell us how much estrogen contributed.
The research opportunity: an estrogen treatment that stays active mainly in the scalp but rapidly becomes inactive once it reaches the bloodstream.
If proven safe and effective, that could help a lot of people while limiting hormonal effects elsewhere.
Their starting hair loss was severe, so complete restoration wasn’t something to count on.
There’s substantial visible improvement, but frontal recession remains.
Meaningful partial recovery can still matter, and these photos don’t establish their final regrowth limit.
One person, several treatments. Longer hair, styling and lighting also affect coverage, so we can’t isolate what did what.

Topical minoxidil sulfate has a much longer history than most people realize and at @folligenz we’re up next to continue the development of this hair loss product class.
Preorder here:
folligenz.com/products/sulfo…
As far back as 2007, the German company Sinere was offering Nanominox-MS, a topical minoxidil sulfate formulation, alongside its ethosome-based Nanominox products.
Furthermore, minoxidil sulfate has been commonly used in the Brazilian compounding market for nearly 10 years.
We can also thank Dr. Ralph Trüeb for helping validate the topical minoxidil sulfate concept in Switzerland. His published clinical research demonstrated promising results with a 5% minoxidil sulfate formulation incorporating Hamamelis.swiss HAIR TONIC (Apomedica Sagl, Switzerland).
Now, we’re taking SulfoGenz further.
For our new SulfoGenz formulation, we’ve reduced the price per mL while increasing the quantity from 60mL to 90mL. That’s 50% more product per bottle at a lower price per mL.
Buy 1 and the next is 50% off in price. So for $130 USD you get around 6 months worth of use.
We’ve also partnered with a manufacturing partner in China whose team previously worked on L’Oréal Stemoxydine products. The new formulation will be shipped directly from China.
Our goal remains the same: continue improving the formulation while making SulfoGenz more affordable and accessible.
More quantity. Better value. A new generation of SulfoGenz.

MINOXIDIL SULFATE.
THE ACTIVE FORM DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK.
“I AM SO FUCKING BACK BOYS.”
That was the caption on this Sulfogenz customer's reported one year update.
Look at the dates: December 3, 2025 was his MONTH TWO update. October 19, 2026 was the ONE YEAR update. Each shows dry and wet hair. Compare dry with dry and wet with wet, not the two views from one visit as a before and after.
The later photos show fuller looking crown coverage. His record also includes a difficult shedding period in August. This was not a perfectly smooth progression.
We make Sulfogenz. Our newer Prime product contains 5% minoxidil sulfate in a gel emulsion.
But the scientific reason to investigate sulfate is real: it is the active metabolite that ordinary minoxidil is converted into.
Here is the customer story, the published research and the testing material, with each kept in its proper place. 🧵

8/8 THIS IS WHY WE ARE BUILDING AROUND MINOXIDIL SULFATE.
There is an established activation mechanism. There are human reports worth following up. And there is a clear formulation problem to work on, rather than just another ingredient to add to a label.
Sulfogenz Prime is our new 5% minoxidil sulfate gel emulsion in a 90 mL pump bottle. We’ve worked to reduce the price and increase our mL amount.
The formulation and application experience are part of the product, not an afterthought.
The customer story is encouraging. The published studies explain the scientific rationale. Neither replaces controlled testing of the finished product.
We are not promising “14 times more hair,” guaranteed recovery or the response rate of someone else's study.
We are inviting you to look at the ingredient, the formulation and the evidence behind the idea.
Explore Sulfogenz Prime and the current product information:

For persistent hair loss or a poor response to treatment, discuss your diagnosis and options with a qualified healthcare professional rather than assuming every case needs a stronger bottle.
