But if it's not penetrating the scalp, then how can it be effective?

Because it works locally, reducing the DHT in the scalp, rather than systemically.

Duasteride's molecular weight is 528.53 g/mol, so it is less likely to go systemic (topically), but there are people who do still experience sides over time. I would think this might have to do with a compounding effect of the quite long half life and eventual systemic buildup. This is why some clinics like Mwamba’s FUE clinic has patients apply it once a week for several weeks to see how you do symptoms wise.

The larger weight of Dutasteride certainly helps with systemic absorption from the scalp. “Dalton Rule” states anything with a molecular weight less than 500 will penetrate the corneal (outer) layer of skin. For reference, Finasteride’s molecular weight is 372.549 g/mol, so can penetrate the skin much easier than Dutasteride.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10839713/

I received that same side effects with Dr Mwamba's topical dutasteride. There may be some variation in how easily some scalps absorb versus others but the 500 dalton theory is seen as much too black and white when it comes to topicals.

Do you remember what side effects you had on it? Once weekly application?

I haven’t had any sides with Xyons finasteride. It could be the delivery vehicle. I’ve been very patient pleasantly surprised. It’s only been a month, but I remember the oral version gave me sides by this time.

That’s great. It’s very clear the  siloxys  and farmacia Parati gel are the only vehicles proven to signifinactly

reduce systemic absorption. Trichisol does not (which the fue clijic formulations use) I will definitely be trying XYON when they release it outside North America.

I was going to go to use Farmacia Parati in the meantime but they’re having issues with customs at the moment

Sorry brother awful when they hit I know

Thanks man. It’s not even the experiencing the sides that’s the hardest part. It’s knowing you can’t tolerate the one and only thing that can stop your hair loss

That’s fantastic news this could be an excellent option for us

You can make your own liposomal gel with fin or dut the patent of xyon is available on the net and there are example of how to make the gel. No need to wait for availability outside USA and it is very very less of money.

Is the XYON topical DUT daily @Melvin- Moderator? Looks like it is - I thought the dream with Topical Dut might be the application cadence was only going to be a couple of times a week, given half-life etc.? Great if you know the reasoning or a good Q for the future podcast.

From what I understand they suggest daily use. Based on the results they witnessed, it seems to be the most effective. However, the dosage depends on what the dermatologist suggests. I will be using it 3x per week. Then see if I have any sides and move up. You also have to consider that if you use the gel and wash your hair daily, it’s not gonna be systemic as much. So it all depends on your regimen.

So is any gel formula less likely to go systemic? I've been using Mwambas 0.01% for 4 months (once weekly) and its been good so far with no sides but I can also a gel at 0.5% but it will probably work out more expensive. If the gel is less likely to go systemic I may run with that

Mwamba is trichosol so there is no same amount of fina in scalp with gel & trichosol, perhaps 0.5% xyon gel give less fina than 0.01% trichosol in scalp ...

We know that the concentration in vitro with 2.5% xyon gel is around 4 ug/cm² (in vivo is 10x less) does someone have the concentration with pg/alchool at 2.5% in vitro for comparing ? I found only the serum concentration but no the scalp concentration...

It would be very great comparing all these things with same amount of percentage fina...

If you're not having sides, no need to fix what's not broken

Yeah this is also what I was thinking. For some reason I always get  sides to various (unrelated) products generally so half expecting it  to be the case here down the line. I suppose if I ever develop sides I could go down the gel route then.

I got a question about xyon topical dutasteride. In the research paper from xyon year 2021 there is some of the 10 mens who have experiences big increase of DHT, more than 100% for some case.... the average decrease is 12% but are you afraid to be the one who will experience big spike of DHT instead of reduction ? I would be very stressed by that ...

Does these men saw all there hair falling ? Is the hair loss induced by the increase of dht is reversible?  Xyon say nothing about that in his paper...

Note that it is not the case in the finasteride essay... all the DHT amount where decrease in all men...

There is factually no way taking any form of dutasteride could cause a big increase in DHT

In the research paper from Xyon there are 10 persons for the test of topical dutasteride and 3 get big  increased of DHT ... Even more than 100% ! The median of suppression is 12% but with very high negative variations and the mean is an increase (not a decrease) of DHT...

I am afraid that it will cause a lot of hair loss for these guys no ? This is not happening when testing finasteride :

This is really interesting as it isn't supposed to lower the scalp DHT at all. 

 

May I ask if Xyon has released this 2021 reseaech paper publicly, or how did you gaina ccess to it? I would really like to take a closer look at it, especially since Xyon havn't released any research on their topical Dut yet nor any oral explanation have been done yet. I'm really on the fence on chosing between their Topical Fin or Dut and I probably have to start soon, but there is not enough info on whetehr topical Dut really offers a higher efficacy + (maybe) better safety or at least an acceptable level of safety.

Check their library. I believe they released their studies. Also, they did break down their studies on our live podcast last year.

DHT will naturally fluctuate independant of drugs that are affecting it. I highly doubt any layperson would have the tools and the supplies to make their own even with the recipe

Yes DHT fluctuate in a day but they took multiple blood test in a day to eliminate the fluctuation.

 

It proove that duta can increase dht for some people and not fina.

All the ingredient are low cost and available at Alibaba and they can be stored for 2 years. The emulsifier for a small lab 300ml cost is less than 300$
