It's so inexpensive.

So in my nighttime, take all my meds routine.

I'm just going to crack one of these in half and then...

Take all that before I go to bed.

Oral minoxidil works by prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle.

So our hair has a growing phase, a falling out phase, and a resting phase.

And it also helps to dilate the blood vessels that feed the hair follicle to keep the follicle healthy.

So this medication was developed to lower blood pressure, but the doses you take it for blood pressure control are 10 to 40 milligrams.

For hair, you only need 2.5.

So that's what I take.

It seems to be working really well.

I rarely miss it.

If you're experiencing care loss, anoxidil may not be for you.

You need to have your vitamin D level checked.

You need to have your ferritin level checked.

You need to maybe see a dermatologist.

But this is one of the things, and I've done all of that, that works really well for me.

And I'm happy to have my hair back.

So that's my routine.

You might think it's excessive.
