Thanks.
The best deal is Nature's Sunshine. I think they are the cheapest (you become a member and after the discount it's about $32 a bottle). But the best thing about these capsules is that everything in them, except equol, is not soluble in alcohol so you will end up with pure equol in alcohol. FYI The alcohol I am using is 70% ethyl from Walgreens but I just bought 90% from the Science Company (you can get PG there as well). I am thinking that 90% alcohol will dissolve more equol (just based on volume) and result in more solution. I'll let you know if that's true after I try it. Also, I pour the solution (after it sits 24-48 hours sealed so the alcohol doesn't evaporate ) into a coffee filter over a large measuring cup and then after most of the liquid runs thru, I squeeze the filter like you would a lemon to get every last drop of liquid. You'll likely find that your final solution with PG will leave your hair greasy unless you blow dry. So I put it on heavy at night so it soaks in. I've been reading about the penetration of minoxidl and saw a paragraph on Bernstein's site where they suggest that one heavy application at night might be more effective than twice a day. From what I can understand the PG helps keep the alcohol from evaporating and it is what penetrates the scalp carrying the alcohol in with it. So possibly a higher ratio of PG. I may try 70% alcohol and 30% PG. It's all just trial and error as I am no chemist and have no experience. Once you try it a few times, work out the kinks and get a routine, it's not that bad.

Got it PinotQ. That brand is the same one I linked on amazon, so I'm going to buy from amazon since I like going through them so much and its less than $1 more per bottle and free shipping. I'm going to dissolve my pills in pure everclear (95%+ percent alcohol), then add butylene glycol (PPG kills my scalp) and probably some penetration enhancers like DMSO, DMI and/or n methyl 2 pyrrolidone. Will report back.

So if I bought the skin product could I see results if applied to scalp?

She trying her best and has contacted all 3 companies, one has already said no as it is for research purpose only. Let's be positive as I have asked to try her best in finding a source so this can be made for you guys .
Here is another possible equol supplier: http://www.scbt.com/datasheet-205502-s-equol.html

What if she just writes us directions for creating it with versapro?
We could pay her for drafting it.
Then somebody can just order s-equol from china and we can make our own--- if she can't find a US-based supplier and wont use a foreign supplier.

I will email them on monday to see if they have had any luck with the labs.

Can I lower my RU dosage if I am on equol?
