    Default Why no one sell concentrated bima ?

    i find it weird that vendors sell sketchy research chemicals like CB or RU that didn't even made it to human clinical trials but don't bother to sell actual proven chemical that are almost in phase III ??? i'm talking about bima here
    they just have to import bulk bima and replicate the same formula from latisse, does it sound so difficult ?
    if i didn't live in a nazi like country where everything that look like powder was stopped by customs (if it come from china) i would start a shop but i can't since not only you get a fine but your prison cell will be ready to welcome you
    but as far as im aware in UK the laws are way more laxist so this should be possible no ?

    Here's the formula from member Tito:

    bimatoprost 0.3 mg
    benzalkonium chloride 0.05 mg this acts as a preservative and also increases penetration
    purified water
    sodium chloride/In other words salt
    citric acid used as a chelating agent
    Sodium hydroxide
    sodium chloride

    My room mate uses a more simple way
    he uses
    bimatoprost 0.6 mg
    benzalkonium chloride 0.08 mg
    citric acid
    purified water and methyl alcohol

    If anyone can find a chemist to make this then we can start our Bim trial.

    It's extremely expensive at higher concentrations, like HT price level expensive, it's not worth it right now.

    just buying the 0.03% bottles for eyelashes will cost you minimum $75-100 a month and that's not even worth it as it's too low of a dose.

    Just like rdawg said, it's too expensive. However, for a major pharma like Allergan, they can mass produce it all over the world and make it cost-effective.

    It's still not worth it considering for many people it has around the same effectiveness as Minoxidil, the odd person gets a slightly better reaction. Difference is Minoxidil is about $100 for a year supply give or take, while BIM bottles at 10-12$ will last you 5 days, you're talking $1000 for a one year usage that's not even worth it.

    i don't think it would be more expensive than CB or RU if you import it in bulk from china
    CB and ru are not even used in the world so the sellers have to custom synthesize them and it's pretty expensive whereas Bima is readly available since it's used around the world so it's probably cheaper than these 2 who where never shown on trial to work on MPB btw

    i don't even think you need a chemist to make the solution, just mix the ingredients
    the problem is to find a cheap source of bima powder
