I've actually had limited use of stuff to fight my hair loss. To date, I've only done the following;
- Nizoral
- Saw Palmetto
- Minoxidil
- RU58841
- Dermarolling/Wounding
I'll soon be trying CB as you know. I've never touched finasteride, avodart, spiro, laser combs, etc. I only try the stuff that works and is relatively safe... and when I say that, I don't include Finasteride since its dick poison.Comment

Sure. I mean, you would be an idiot if you would try stuff that doesn't work.Comment

I appreciate it brother, we are all in this together. We are a community who are doing this for the benefit of everyone just as much as we are doing it for ourselves. We are doing it with selflessness and pure intentions and THAT is what makes us unique and differ from the ulterior motivated, money hungry hair loss industry.
People here have much to be thankful for Hellouser. As I've said before, pharmaceutical companies have all kinds of tests they can carry out with complex advanced techniques and world class experienced staff. However we are lacking all of these so trials are the only way we can gauge success and Hellouser is leading the way. His motivation and courage is admirable.Comment

I have also been interested in transdermal steroidal delivery systems for a while now.
First of all I want to address something. From the structure of CB-03-01, I don’t think small amounts of water will affect the stability of the compound. The log P of CB is around 3.73 which indicate that it is insoluble in water but stability wise, any potential issues arise on C-17 regarding the ester group. Ester hydrolysis can occur, with the ester breaking down into alcohols and carboxylic acids. However hydrolysis is quite a slow and a very reversible reaction; without acid or base to "push" the reaction, it tends to be very insignificant. Also it is a tertiary ester which means attack by water molecules could be hindered so even better. However enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis CAN occur as the body has lots of enzymes that actively hydrolyze esters. I am a pure chemist (so someone correct me if I’m wrong) but isn’t that the beauty of CB as once it hits the bloodstream it changes to an inactive form.
From what I see the transdermal steroid carrier seems okay and viable. The carrier is a long chain alcohol which is good for hydrophobic molecules and CB is log P 3.73 which is quite hydrophobic.Comment

One nagging question though; can CB in any way affect libido? And, given that its a steroid, what would its potential be to cause skin atrophy when applied at 10mg per 1ml once a day? Any concerns?Comment
