    And Locke is right, don't assume that because these trials have been finished for a while they must be moving into phase 3. The understanding on the forums is that they have changed their approach just after finishing them, and that is what the latest news was about (6 months ago).

    And just because one of their scientists said they were close to releasing a product it doesn't mean it will be about in a year.
    Yeah, I'm actually surprised hellouser doesn't remember this trial. People were discussing it when there were conflicting reports on what phase follica was at

    Follica is too secretive, it's not even funny to speculate with them

    I guess it all comes down to whether or not wounding + lithium provided any results. If it did, maybe they'll pursue phase 3 and release that while they work on the fgf9 stuff. If not, they probably won't waste their money. So to us it's 50/50 right now if they'll release something in 2-3 years or 5-10 years.

    Why lithium?

    I don't know, you mean why would lithium produce hair follicles? Lithium gluconate 8% was what they applied topically to the wounded skin to induce neogenesis in the trials, but I don't know the theory behind it.

    seems like a long wait on something 50/50 guess will have to continue using or searching in the meantime.

    Histogen is effective? I have not seen that.
