    EDIT : Has Kane discontinued his Bimatoprost? Why? Can't find it on the website.
    I didn't mean literally, I meant in a sense that it's a topical but it seems to have a better effect on the hair than minoxidil does.

    Most people dont get anything from minoxidil other than maybe maintanence at best, but the average person that uses BIM at least gets minor thickening, nothing significant but enough to notice.

    But still, there aren't many bim users out there due to price, so it's a bit hard to judge.

    I've made my own Bimatoprost/Prostaglandin solution as I'm a pharmacist, been using small doses only I may up the dosage slightly
    Seems to work very well with no side effects
    Been using it for 45 days just in the morning
    Personally I think It has stopped
    My hair loss
    Starting to get some growth, time
    Will tell just how much

    I've been using 0.03% at the minute
    I've made quite a few 60ml bottles of that strength no side effects at all
    I might up it to 0.06 or 0.1

    Great that you may be getting results. Thought you may have been using a higher concentration. I was wondering if a compounding pharmacy would be able to formulate a 0.1% solution, but would assume it would be rather costly.

    I would be able to formulate it myself at 0.1%
    Without having very high costs, the 0.03 isn't that expensive for me to formulate for myself
    At the moment I use about 4ml daily with the 0.03%
    So far I would say it has definitely stopped my shedding and my existing hair seems to be getting thicker and i haven't been using that long

    4ml 0.03 daily means how many mg?
