ALL ORDERS PACKED AND SHIPPED - BALANCE OF STOCK RELEASED TO OZBARGAINERS 1st FOR IMMEDIATE DISPATCH

Hi Ozbargainers,

If there is something I have learned about Ozbargainers, its that - many of you are balding. Don't worry, I can help you with that….. We sell THOUSANDS of bottles of Minoxidil Extra Strength per year to you guys (and to a few gals), so much in fact an old rep friend noticed our sales were booming and has reached out from his new company to offer me a deal on one of their latest products - Restor (5% Minoxidil).

Key selling features of this product
* Made in Oz
* Spray Application (no more dripper)
* CHEAPEST IN MARKET (enter Ozbargain opportunity).

I have committed to help get this product off the ground and have a large order incoming to our store. Part of the agreement made was that I would take all stock at a certain wholesaler, with the balance of stocking to come in shortly thereafter from another supply. So while technically this isn't really a presale as I have stock on hand, I only have enough product on hand for 20-30 Ozbargain orders which will pack and ship tonight, with the balance of stock then dispatching in around 1 week - if you are happy with this arrangement please consider this deal, so unless you order in the first few mins of the deal, your order will most likely ship in 1 week or so. Based on previous Ozbargain deals for Minox that we'll sell several hundred bottles. I am expecting that once this product becomes more mainstream the price will rise, so here is your chance to lock in 8 months supply from my first supply drop.

    Good price, however i went with the oral 2.5mg daily. But if you hair follicles lack the enzyme to convert minoxidil to active form, it becomes useless.

    Also before spending money on minoxidil and fin, there is a genetic test kit for male baldness for $199 - $219 which will give you a 99% accurate result if your prone to baldness

    • Does oral minoxidil also require the enzyme? If you don't achieve hair growth with the topical, is oral minoxidil likely to be ineffective too?

      • +9

        Oral minoxidil will convert to active form via enzyme (i think in the liver).
        Topical minoxidil requires the follicles to produce the enzyme, some people lack the enzyme in follicles

        • +2

          Thanks. That's really useful intel.

      • My mom took Q10 and collagen pills until the doctor said too much from a blood test. She ate lots of meat steak at the time, so I guess she overdid but should be temporarily. Is that the enzyme you talking about?

    • Do you mean the test kit will let you know if minoxidil will have any effect?
      And second what Kategs asked.

      • -3

        Test kit will let you know if you will go bald

          Wait, so you think you can sell this to OzBargainers who aren't even starting to bald yet? LOL

          • -2

            @GandalfTheCheap: Hair shedding and thinning has multiple causes.
            Test will confirm the conditions that min and fin are traditionally prescribed for

            • @easternculture: Wow, didn't know such test existed. Okay so I don't think my hair is thinning or my head is shedding any excess hair. As a matter of fact, all my hairdressers "complain" to me that I have too much hair.

              But my dad is balding (so he is taking medicine like you) and almost all of my paternal uncles + paternal grandfather are bald. On my mum side, they have full hair but it still doesn't give me a sense of certainty for the future.

              With this test, do you just go to GP to order one? And with medication, do people take it before they start to notice that they are losing hair?

              • -1

                @lyoo01: Its called Tricho Test. Its about $250 and looks at 50+ genes connected to hair loss. GP needs to order it for you.

                GP will generally start you on fin and min with first signs of hair loss if they suspect male pattern baldness also known as androgenic alopecia which is caused by the biproduct of test converstion in body aka DHT.

                Fin will block up to 90% of DHT while min will encourage hair growth by promoting better blood circulation around hair follicles

                IMO, better to do test to confirm because it will save you $200+ per year if it confirms you dont have the genes

      • +2

        I can tell you, if you spend to much time on OzB, then you will go bald. No need for a test!
        OzB wisely… lol

      Is this wrong then? “There is no genetic test currently available to predict whether you will experience male pattern baldness.”

      • -5

        From your article

        In most cases, male pattern baldness is hereditary (genetic) and can't be prevented

        The test will confirm this

        https://easydna.com.au/dna-tests/alopecia-dna-test/

        • +2

          Yeah it’s hereditary/genetic. It’s not saying it’s not. It’s just saying there’s currently no test for whether you’ll manifest it or not. Anyway, it’s from an official Australian government website so it could be wrong. Obviously I’m all up for eradicating this malady from all men as much as the next guy.

          • +10

            @CuteWittleCorgi: @easternculture

            I wanted to chime in here on the genetic testing because I can help.

            I'm a medical doctor, my practice is private hospital general care but I have a personal special interest in androgenetic alopecia.

            I want to confirm that genetic testing is not a standardised practice for the condition. The genetic predispositions are multifaceted and idiopathic (essentially unknown) - it includes very many genes and a complicated interplay between their expressions. Genetic testing can not be interpreted in any useful way.

            That's important because there are a lot of private, largely online, pathology services that can sell you testing out-of-pocket. But they are rarely of much utility, and any test can be ordered by a doctor and more importantly considered and discussed between patient and doctor to derive an objective meaning from them. Yes, there is friction in having an appointment and having those discussions, but that's where the value is (not to mention Medicare bulk-billed access to pathology services).

            I would advise to definitely save your $$ on any marketed online testing.

            The broadest tool to use for androgenetic alopecia is the Norwood scale. You are making a visual comparison of your scalp, particularly your temples (front corners) and vertex (top and back), to a set of pictures of typical male-patterned baldness progression. All men follow a similar progression - typically temporal regression is the earliest indicator (and can be missed when subtle because it's misinterpreted as a widow's peak until it gets deeper). If you want to get a bit more scientific about it, you can see a dermatologist who has methods to do follicle counts, but that's probably unnecessary for most.

            It's better to think of androgenetic alopecia as less than a disease and more of a natural marker of aging. Although everyone has different rates and progression of hair loss, it does affect everyone to varying degrees, as that's the accumulative effect of exposure to DHT (the tissue version of testosterone) to the scalp, and your (complex) genetic predisposition determines that. Even look closely at post-menopausal women, and the silver foxes who's family say he kept a "full set of hair," and you will see signs of androgenetic alopecia such as some temporal recession and vertex thinning.

            • @muwu: Thank you for your input.

              If a patient walked in and asked to see how he can keep most of his current hair (before excess hair loss starts), would you recommend prescription of these drugs before these symptoms?

              • +3

                @lyoo01: If the patient has a concern for hair loss and values it, I would start with topical minoxidil liquid form bd, as well as some ketoconazole shampoo once-twice week. The reason for that is because they are the simplest interventions to initiate, and have almost no downside. They aren't very effective, but that may be most appropriate if hair loss is minimal and to make a start pre-emptively. The other issue is use of topical minoxidil is arduous for most and compliance often lacks eventually, so talking about how to optimise it's use or consider oral minoxidil might be needed at some point.

                If hair loss is starting to advance, we ultimately need to start a consideration for alpha-2 reductase inhibitors (like finasteride) which is by far the most effective treatment.

            • @muwu: So whats your view on the Tricho Test

              • +1

                @easternculture: As above.

                There is no useful data for anyone there.

                • -6

                  @muwu: I respect your opinion but i still think it is a useful test to rule out any probability of hair loss , especially MPB.

                  Ill be doing it in the next month or so

                  • +2

                    @easternculture: Your individual choice.

                    Perhaps the best thought exercise is, what's the downside of having data that can not be definitively interpreted?

                    As an example, say a for-profit company sells you a pricey service with the expectation that you will get an answer to a question you enter the transaction with.

                    It's a binary outcome only (which is how you know its a false question in the first place) - but it's either getting a "Yes-You-Have-Androgenetic-Alopecia" and you continue the treatment minus the cost of some off-label testing, or it's a "No-You-Don't-Have-Androgenetic-Alopecia" and you withdraw treatment in the trust you're definitively being decreed to that DHT isn't and will never affect your scalp.

                    So aside from the biology of the condition in question, is the availability of the test enough for you to find value in it, or do you need to establish trust that it has an objective utility and does not present a risk?

                    It is possible to pay for a worse outcome.

                    • -3

                      @muwu:

                      or it's a "No-You-Don't-Have-Androgenetic-Alopecia" and you withdraw treatment

                      Although tests are not 100% accurate, it will offer me some type of comfort knowing that the probability of MPB is very low because id love to get off the fin and jump on a few test cycles, but thats just me

                      • +3

                        @easternculture: Think harder on the testing, is my only (repeat) advice. This isn't screening where probability is relevant, this is a false positive/negative test that has as much chance of misguiding you as it does inadvertently not misguiding you and thankfully only taking your money.

                        As for using exogenous testosterone…

                        I don't know your history, if you've used it before, I won't presume.

                        I would advise any man to go on a very long journey of education before pulling the trigger on that. I would give myself 12 months minimum of reading and research, follow-up appointments with your GP to guide you, and consulting with an endocrinologist.

                        I can disclose my personal experience. I have my own endocrinologist for a couple of unrelated endocrine issues, the lesser of which is a slightly low age-adjusted testesterone and bone mineral density. I am keenly interested in increasing bone strength and muscle bulk and strength, and my endocrinologist offered me TRT (physiological, of course), but I declined.

                        There are so many downsides to cover, but for me the primary ones are lipid dysfunction and metabolic dysfunction and cardiac muscle remodelling (pathological) causing very premature artherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and heart disease. You will take decades off your life. And secondly testicular atrophy causing suppressed spermatogenesis (infertility) and suppressed endogenous testosterone (inducing endocrine primary hypogonadism). Your virility is a tough exchange to make, both in the present day and to your future self.

                        Use of exogenous testesterone is a very very long hard think..

                        • -3

                          @muwu: Dont think an endocrinologist will prescribe you 500mg of test a week lol but anyways appreciate your replies and respect your opinion.

                          • +3

                            @easternculture: You're right, we're not seeking supra-physiological levels of testosterone because we don't deal out death, quite the opposite 😉

                      • @easternculture: Also as an aside, I've heard from a few non-natty bodybuilders who use finasteride along with exogenous testosterone. Just because you're blocking 70% of the conversion to DHT, doesn't mean you can't jack your total T numbers and get the strength and recovery benefits while (largely) preserving your hair. In fact I think most of them tend to use dutasteride because they block a lot more of the DHT this way as their total T skyrockets.

                        • @muwu: True but the DHT is more potent than T, theoretically you would get better gains while off fin and more DHT circulating in your body.
                          The bulking AAS with a anabolic profile primarily convert to DHT.
                          But again have to test this theory.

                          • @easternculture: I'm only going off the anecdotal, but I don't think there's much difference being on an alpha-2 reductase inhibitor concomitantly with exogenous testosterone, at least as far as muscular gains are concerned.

                            You'll still blow out your coronaries and get permanent heart failure, more importantly, but on the question of skeletal muscle alone I heard it's just as good with fin

                            • @muwu:

                              blow out your coronaries and get permanent heart failure,

                              Your probabaly thinking about pro bodybuilders or gym bros who inject 5 to 10 mls twice weekly haha

                              • @easternculture: It is scalable, but you get most of the downside once you're above physiological T levels and less so are the higher and higher extremes.

                                Unfortunately there's no safe dose of supra-physiological exogenous testosterone, nor is the damage reversible. There's just no easy way to get around the fact that it IS premature death. But like most things, you get to make an individual choice. Dr. Mike Israetel speaks pretty insightful about it, he balances for himself the value of body-building against all the years he's taking off his life expectancy. Even so, still think it's impossible for a younger person in good health to make that trade - I've seen a lot of dying humans and there's nothing more important that could be traded for time, you just don't realise it until it's almost gone.

                  • +1

                    @easternculture: Hate to break it to you but you have MPB, you don't need the genetic test. Elsewhere you said your hair is thinning enough for you to go on fin, and 25% of your family have it. If the test is negative, what then? You're still thinning…

                    • @fredblogs: Thing is i experiment with alot of medications and supplements and at that time i was on a few off label meds (thanks to 3rd world overseas pharmacies and alldaychemist lol) and was testing out some new supplements.

                      But due to family history and scalp examination, GP started it.

            • @muwu: Have you seen many side effects in your patients from fin?

              • @fredblogs: Sure. The usual that you've read about. Sexual dysfunction is the most common one, particularly reduced libido.

                The most important facts though are..

                1-2% of people taking low-dose finasteride report side-effects. In other words, the vast majority of people find no difference (except better hair).

                That studies that followed up patients up to 18mo with finasteride found no significant difference in side effects, so there is a normalisation on the medication in the longer term.

                And studies have shown to statistical power that all side effects are reversed after ceasing the medication. Now the internet loves to talk about "Post Finasteride Syndrome" - it doesn't exist in the literature, and what is anecdotally being reported by some individuals is likely sexual dysfunction due to other causes (as it's a common issue for many men relaged to a myriad of causes).

            • @muwu: @muwu

              Just interested in your opinion. Ive never had a full hairline. Had high temples and thinner hair on top since primary school.
              Now later in life, that frontal hair is getting super thin/ gone. Yet ironically hair at the back of my head is super thick (clippers struggle to get through). Top is thinner than it should be, but not the center of balding. So a frontal recession of not much to beging with.

              I started on minoxidil years ago. Not sure if it does that much. But I felt my body hair increased significantly. I went off it for a few months. Body hair reduced, but the thin hairs on my fringe area started getting really thin. I also had some bad heart pain. I thought I was having a heart attack. Bent over in a lot of pain. Had a heap of tests, full MRI with dye. Found no issues, zero plaque. So wondering if it is side effect of minoxidil. Still get the pains. But just living with it.

              So I spoke to the GP about trying finastride. He wouldn't entertain it without me speaking to dermatologist first.

              The dermatologist took my $200 and said the Finastride side effects are not worth it. He felt the body hair/ heart pain side effects were unrelated, and would only give me a script for oral minoxidil. I also asked about topical Finastride, and he felt that it wouldn't work.

              So my questions are:
              What is the difference between oral and topical minoxidil? I believe it started as a blood thinner. But patients got hairy as a side effect. I definitely don't want any more body hair or facial hair. I can go from shaved clean, to looking like I've been stranded on a deserted island for years in one week. So cruel when hair where you want it is basically gone up front.

              Will the oral be worse for body hair/ facial hair than topical?

              What are your thoughts re: topical Finastride? I've tried Morr F. (Topical min and fin). Nothing grows back, but I felt it was thicker. Dermatologist thought otherwise.

              Can I just make my own topical Finastride by dissolving oral fin in minoxidil. More F is a lot more expensive, and 50/50 if you will get a fake.
              Side effects here vs oral fin?

              Lastly, stem cell therapy. Surely stem cells are the answer? Why don't we hear anything about this in Oz?

              If not stem cells, then is a hair transplant out of Turkey the only option. I've never had a good hairline (always wanted one), so all the minoxidil and fin can't entirely help. So will need something. Got enough hair at the back of my noggin to fill 5 heads. But don't want to become one of those people where all they have is the transplant lines, and the rest is gone. So want to keep the rest around. But now in a financial situation I might be able to do something. Feel a transplant is a bit "caveman".

              Lastly, the dermatologist was bald. He said why not just shave it off. I did note his head look riddled with sun spots/ looked cancerous. I don't want that. I like water sports (wake boarding, kite boarding, surfing, swimming snorkeling). I wear a hat always outdoors, but wearing a hat doesn't work on the water. So really want to keep the cover on top.

              Sorry about the 1000 questions ,but would really appreciate your insights, as the dermatologist (which I had to wait 8 months to get seen), only succeeded in taking my $200 and giving me a script for oral minoxidil.

              Thanks

        AI Overview

        An alopecia DNA test analyzes your DNA to identify genetic markers that may be linked to hair loss. The test can help you understand the root cause of your hair loss and find ways to treat it.

        How it works
        You collect a DNA sample using a buccal swab
        The sample is analyzed for genetic markers associated with hair loss
        You receive a report with your results and recommendations

        What it can detect
        - Androgenetic alopecia: Also known as pattern baldness, this genetic condition is caused by sensitivity to male hormones
        - Alopecia areata: A common type of hair loss
        - Telogen effluvium: A type of hair loss
        - Hereditary baldness: A condition that can be passed down from parents

        Not necessarily. Most of my family have hair, about 25% are bald.

        My GP started min/fin as because my hair was suddenly thinning. Ive been using it for over 1 year.

        Considering taking the Genetic test to rule out, it will save me money in the long term if i dont have the hair loss genes.

        Also thats the only thing stopping me on jumping on a few test cycles

        • Does your hairline look like the 75% or the 25%?

          • @Nedkellyinthebush: Never really looked that closely.

      To be honest mate if you're thinning, people have noticed already.

      There's nothing worse than someone trying desperately to hold onto their hair through growing it longer to hide the thinning or having a comb over.

      Can you grow any sort of beard or facial hair? That will help.

      I had the same thing, early 30's my long thick hair thinned, and I just went and shaved it all off. Now I have a beard and look 10x better.

    • You have to make a value judgement and decide what you want.

      Just know there are options either way.

      For treating androgenetic alopecia, you do need to maintain the treatment to persists with the results. Yes if you withdraw treatment you will have a prompt (3-6mo) regression to your natural pattern of hair. The medication can slightly increase hair density, but it largely slows ongoing regression. Minoxidil has a minor effect, alpha-2 reductase inhibitors (like finasteride) has a major effect.

      Personally, I've had regression since 21yo and have been adopting in stages medication, finasteride and minoxidil, now 37yo and have maintained thick hair on top with a fair degree of deep temporal recession. With some styling to soften my widows peak appearance, I get complements on my hair and many don't pick up on my loss.

    • Mate I'm a year older than you and I have been shaving my head since I was 18. By then it was done for, never to return. You made it to 42 and its started to thin, that is a great run.

    Be careful, if you stop using it the hair will shed and you will have less hair than if you never used it.

      Incorrect. You will only loose the hair that grew as a result of min. I think you mean fin

    • +4

      This is completely incorrect. For both fin or min it will return to what it should be without using the medicines.

      • This 👆

        You will return to your pre-intervention natural hair regression if medication is withdraw. They do not worsen your follicle count.

      • What is the point of this hair growth formula anyway, you are getting too old so you use this to increase your hair to meet a beautiful woman to fall in love with you, maybe start a family but your supply is cut off or it stops working and your hair falls out, what then? And the woman is wondering why you are always applying this stuff to your hair.

          Ketoconazole may help with some types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness. It's available as a shampoo, and some people find it effective.
          How it works
          Ketoconazole may reduce inflammation of hair follicles
          It may improve the strength and appearance of hair
          It may reduce levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on the scalp
          It may improve follicle health

    • Same

    • use minoxidil FOAM my bro. The liquid gives me terrible dandruff and irritation, foam is all good.

      • Two questions if I could

        1) How do you get the foam onto the scalp if you don't have short hair?
        2) Do you have to wash your hair afterwards, e.g. if you use it at night, does your hair look horrible after waking up requiring a wash?
