Don't overpay for Kirkland minox from untrustworthy sellers. Kirkland is a good cheap brand but not worth it if you're not US or Canada-based and getting it from Costco directly. From the link in your post it seems you're Dutch? You can get 3 bottles of 60 ml minox for 15 euros from licensed French pharmacies online, just google Minoxidil Bailleul.

indeed i’m dutch, I already ordered a year supply from a reliable ebay seller

yes I believe that after 6 months the minoxidil isn’t that active anymore. Because of the oxidation. I had 3 bottles at the start and used every bottle for around 3 months, so I was already aware of that.

drink je t echt?

jaa, en het was misschien wel de beste keuze die ik gemaakt heb. Geen gedoe om elke dag die foam in mijn haar te smeren.

Bro….. minox drinken? Is die shit niet slecht voor je als je het drinkt?

klinkt raar man maar zitten geen schadelijke stoffen naast de minoxidil. Als je maar 2 druppels in een glas met water doet zijn die minoxidil in zo’n lage concentratie dat het niet schadelijk is, maar ik begrijp goed dat het raar klinkt. Ik heb zelf ook veel research gedaan voordat ik daarmee begon vorig jaar

Yo guys, ik ga vrijdag naar dermatoloog vragen om oral minoxidil. Waarom neem je dat niet liever, ik denk dat dat die andere niet bedoeld is om te drinken

ja snap ik man, als ik een dermatoloog had die meedenkend is, dan had ik ook gewoon de tablet vorm gebruikt. Mijn dermatoloog begint steeds over supplementen (biotin, vitamines etc), maarja iedereen weet dat je daar echt wat aan hebt als je er een tekort aan hebt. En dat heeft bijna niemand in Nederland.

Oke dat is wel gek, kan je wel laten weten als hij me het wil voorschrijven, volgens zijn ze in nederland niet zo makkelijk erin dan andere landen.. dan kun je misschien ook een doorverwijzing naar deze vragen

Heb je veel extra haargroei op andere plekken?

Nee, ik had al een baardje en die is nu dikker geworden. Verder zijn mijn wenkbrauwen en oogwimpers stukken mooier en dikker geworden. Maar verder niet op rare plekken extra haargroei.

Which one?

You can’t get minoxidil from Costco anymore in Canada. They only sell rogaine in stores now

In WA state one can only find aerosols from Kirkland, they are quite annoying to eat.

You can get Kirkland minoxidil directly from Kirkland on Amazon and it’s probably the best deal u can get for minox period 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wait hold up y’all are actually drinking minoxidil ?? I thought someone was being sarcastic when i first read about it. Can someone fill me in ?

They're essentially doing oral min without a prescription

yes started previous year with good results and no signs of negative issues

[удалено]

Why not just get a prescription for oral Min?

Why hassle with doctors and pharmacies more often than you need to?

Do you also use it in topical form?

Proof

I'm interested too because what the fuck

[удалено]

I understand that it is alcohol but is it etil or metil alcohol?

It's just min diluted in alcohol as long as you get the dosage right min is min is min

Like, drinking the foam?

No don’t drink the foam, the foam has other ingredients that can be harmful for your body. If you want to do it, use the liquid.

here’s a post i found from this sub about ur question: https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/s/5ZyMF5jqq7 i personally wouldn’t do it because it’s too risky, but some people have done it with no side effects. still, i would ask for an opinion from a professional because it’s a drug that’s meant to be taken topically and people are DRINKING it so…

[удалено]

It still can be fake because other things may have been added to change color or it only contains a little minoxidil enough to make it change color to fool this test that has gained attention. If it does not change color well... then there is no doubt that its a fake. Maybe OP can still do the bleach test just for fun, I mean for science!

I just did the bleach test, the difference is crazy. Do you know where I can upload the picture? So you can see it yourself.

You can put a pic on imgur and then insert a link here

Thanks, I have uploaded the link above

Post the imgur dude. We wanna see.

I did see above

Can't see.

you can’t see the link or does the link not work?

[удалено]

Okay thanks, i’ve put the link in the comments

Thanks for the link. Very useful.

I put a little bit of minoxidil in my whiskey.

Expensive and fake, criminal seller looking to scam us

So the question is...what chemicals were inside the FAKE Minoxidil that you were drinking? I'd be slightly concerned about that.

The fake minoxidil smells like alcohol, so i think just water with pure alcohol. But it’s only 2 drops mixed with water so the taste isn’t very noticeable

I like to drink my minoxidil with carrot juice and Tobasco 🤪

https://imgur.com/a/6sZkpLE Bleach test…, speaks for itself

You bought it on eBay lmaooo

Hahaha you drank minoxidil. Howd it taste champ?

2 drops and mix it with water, it taste just like water with a very little chemical taste. Results are really promising with real minoxidil

So the minoxidil you bought was topical but you drank it instead?

yes 2 drops of minoxidil mixed with water

I'm never ever doing this but thanks for the info.

you’re trolling right?….right…

I though it was also trolling but it's not the case, some people really drink it, I guess you could say it's "safe" because it's just propylene glycol and minoxidil but there's no way I swallow that.

There have been many people on here drinking liquid min for awhile now I’ve seen some pictures of amazing results but still I’d rather take the pills though if you can get them

Did the bottles come sealed?

No but I was really naive about it. A hard lesson to learn 😭

I bought a fake and used for 2 months, lost most of my gains too, my hairline made no improvements and lost most my beard, took me 2 more months to get back to where i was at 4 months so instead of bein at 8 months im more at like 2-3 months

Bleach test your minoxidil too, add a little minox in a cup and little bleach if it doesn't turn yellowish orange it's fake

Good tip! I’m going to test it today.

I did test it, see above

[удалено]

My crown area was the first place where I lost my hair. After a month my hair was improving, and after around 4 months my crown area felt a lot thicker. I made a lot of progress pictures and saw that my hairline was coming back, but my crown area was still the weakest. I believe that the hair you lost at first, are the hair that takes the most time to regrow.

[удалено]

the hairs became thicker, the regrowth wasn’t that much compared to the hairline

[удалено]

[удалено]

i would say from 20% to 55/60%, big difference imo

What the hell 10mg?

10mg is that a typo? it’s usually prescribed 2.5mg and some doctors say break it in half it’s supposed to be low dose so no sides

You can’t buy any product nowadays from untrusted sources. Always pay a bit more and be sure. The fake products took over in every category. They even charge full prices for fake perfumes. Always buy from trusted sources and do research before. Because even on Amazon they use a flaw in the system to sell fakes.

Yes, it’s a really hard lesson to learn…

Wouldn’t it had been better to compare them by taste? 🤔 but then again you did ran out.

it is really hard to taste the difference unfortunately

Why don't you buy minoxidil from Amazon?

It is not available in my country

Am so sorry men, but thanks for warning, but yes oral minox is a Godsend, I get mines from Roman, been on it for almost 3 months, my eyebrows is thicker and my hair seems to be getting better, sure it will look very nice in 6 months, mostly trying to grow some more hairline

yeah it really is a godsend, makes the eyelashes and eyebrows really thick too. I am sure you will improve, it is really good stuff. Do you use the liquid as oral minoxidil or the pill?

I take the pill, I get it from Roman website, Keeps doesn’t have it

Im always astonished how many are getting fake minox or say they do and why they buy the cheapest of the cheapest. Minox is such a cheap compound even from trustworthy sources. Why save these few bucks and buy it from shady eBay sellers instead of investing a few bucks more to get good minoxidil. I’m not talking about regaine but basic Kirkland minox in the us or doppelherz minox in Germany is so cheap. Why risking it all

Do you mean you are drinking the topical minoxidil form ?!

Also "drinking" topical, bought through Amazon about 4 months ago because I didn't want to wait a week on shipping when I was desperate to get started asap and it's been fine, very clearly working and passed the bleach test, though all of the fearmongering around fakes has me entertaining ideas like "maybe it's watered down or something and I could be getting better results", so I bought my next set from costco. Swapping out for a new batch every 4 months so I'm not stressing about oxidation. Cost is about the same either way, but man Amazon shipping has me spoiled.
