Purchase minoxidil sulfate?

[jim1973]

It seems that unless Minoxidil converts to Minoxidil Sulfate, that it won't work.  That said, it seems that there used to be products in early and mid-2000s, that sold as Minoxidil Sulfate products but I don't see those advertised anymore.  If Minoxidil only works for those who have the needed enzyme to convert to Minoxidil Sulvate, why not just purchase and apply Minoxidil Sulfate directly to avoid the need for a specific enzyme that only 50% of people have?  Are there no existing products selling Minoxidil Sulfate?

@jim1973minoxidil sulphate has a way higher molecular weight and that's why there will be an absorption issue...so due to low absorption potential a higher concentration of minoxidil sulphate need to be used which can lead to other issues....

Is anyone selling a good minox/tret foam or liquid?

Unless you can't tolerate oral minoxidil then oral minoxidil converts to minoxidil sulphate because it passes through the liver. That's why more people respond well to oral minoxidil than topical minoxidil.
