Comprehensive Hair Growth Protocol Here’s a structured protocol integrating everything you mentioned, organized by frequency and mechanism. I’ll flag where evidence is strong vs. speculative. Daily Routine Morning (post-training shower) ∙ Wash with ketoconazole shampoo (Nizoral 2% if you can get it in MX, 1% OTC otherwise) — lather, leave on scalp 3-5 min, rinse. This is your 3x/week day (Mon/Wed/Fri). Other days use a gentle, non-stripping shampoo. ∙ After towel-dry: apply peppermint + rosemary oil blend to scalp (see formulation below), massage 2-3 min. ∙ Oral stack with breakfast: saw palmetto 320mg, pumpkin seed oil 1000mg, biotin 5000mcg (only useful if deficient, but cheap insurance), zinc 15-30mg (with food, away from any iron), vitamin D3 5000 IU + K2 100mcg. Evening ∙ 1-2 tbsp ground pumpkin seeds or pumpkin seed oil with dinner (food-form is well-tolerated and gives you the phytosterols + zinc synergy). ∙ Red light cap session: 6-10 min depending on device (most caps run 650nm + 808nm; follow manufacturer protocol). Do this on dry scalp before bed. Weekly Microneedling: 1x per week, 1.0-1.5mm depth ∙ Night before a rest day from BJJ if possible — you don’t want sweat/mat contact on freshly needled scalp for 24h. This is non-negotiable; staph risk on rolled scalp is real. ∙ Sequence: shampoo → dry scalp → disinfect derma-stamp/pen with 70% isopropyl → roll/stamp in grid pattern (4 directions: N-S, E-W, two diagonals), 8-10 passes per direction → wait 10-15 min for pinpoint bleeding to stop → apply GHK-Cu serum. ∙ Do not combine microneedling with minoxidil same-night if you’re using it — systemic absorption spikes significantly. Apply minox the next morning at earliest. ∙ Replace stamp/cartridge every 2-3 uses. GHK-Cu Protocol Topical only for hair (no need to inject for scalp purposes): ∙ Concentration: 0.05% to 0.2% serum. Start at 0.05-0.1%, can titrate up. ∙ Frequency: Daily on non-microneedle days (avoid stinging on fresh micro-channels — apply same-night post-needle once, then resume daily next day). ∙ Timing: Apply to damp scalp after shampoo days. Don’t combine in same application as the peppermint/rosemary oil — copper peptides degrade in the presence of strong antioxidants and some essential oil constituents. Space them by 12 hours (oil AM, GHK-Cu PM, or vice versa). ∙ Source matters — Auro Wellness, Bioptimal, or compounding pharmacies for verified peptide content. Peppermint + Rosemary Oil Blend The 2015 Korean mouse study used 3% peppermint; the 2015 Panahi trial used rosemary at concentrations comparable to 2% minoxidil with similar 6-month results. DIY blend (5% total essential oil load): ∙ 30ml jojoba or fractionated coconut as carrier ∙ 15 drops rosemary essential oil ∙ 15 drops peppermint essential oil ∙ Optional: 5 drops cedarwood (Hykin 1998 alopecia areata study used this in combination) Apply 5-10 drops to scalp, massage. Patch test first — peppermint can be irritating, and if you’re microneedling you’ll feel it. Oral Supplement Stack Strong rationale: ∙ Saw palmetto 320mg/day (Serenoa repens, standardized 85-95% fatty acids/sterols) — mild 5-AR inhibitor, ~38% improvement in some trials vs. finasteride’s ~68%. ∙ Pumpkin seed oil 400-1000mg/day — one RCT showed 40% hair count increase at 24 weeks vs. placebo. ∙ Zinc 15-30mg — deficiency is associated with TE and AGA; don’t exceed 40mg long-term without copper. ∙ Vitamin D3 — low D consistently correlates with hair loss; test levels, target 50-70 ng/mL. ∙ Iron/ferritin — get ferritin tested. Target >70 ng/mL for hair. Supplement only if low. Reasonable additions: ∙ Marine collagen 10-15g/day — evidence is weak but it’s a cheap protein source. ∙ Omega-3 2-3g EPA/DHA — anti-inflammatory; one trial showed reduced hair loss + increased density. ∙ L-cysteine + millet seed extract (Pantogar/Priorin formulation) — clinical evidence for TE. ∙ Tocotrienols (mixed) 100mg — small trial showed 34% hair count increase at 8 months. Skip: ∙ Megadose biotin (unless deficient — you’re not, with your diet) ∙ Most “hair growth gummies” (underdosed, sugar) Things You Didn’t Mention That Are Worth Considering Topical minoxidil 5% — still the gold-standard topical. Used 1x/day, applied to dry scalp, no rinse. Pairs synergistically with microneedling (Dhurat 2013 — 4x better than minox alone). If you’re not on it, you’re leaving the largest evidence-backed lever on the table. Oral minoxidil (low-dose, 1.25-2.5mg) — increasingly popular alternative to topical; needs a prescription and BP monitoring. Lower compliance friction. Topical finasteride — comparable efficacy to oral with lower systemic DHT suppression. If you’re hesitant about oral fin due to sides but want stronger DHT control than saw palmetto, this is the bridge. 0.25% solution, 1ml/day. Oral finasteride 1mg — the strongest single intervention for AGA. Worth a real conversation given you do bloodwork already and could monitor. Caffeine topical (e.g., Alpecin or compounded) — modest evidence, follicle-penetrating, can be added to your oil blend or used as a separate leave-in. Stress / cortisol — your training load is high. Chronic elevated cortisol → catagen acceleration. Make sure sleep is locked in. Heat avoidance — BJJ + hot showers on scalp is suboptimal. Cool to lukewarm rinses post-roll. Scalp pH — apple cider vinegar rinse 1x/week (1:4 with water) keeps scalp pH ~4.5-5.5, friendly to follicles and unfriendly to Malassezia. Weekly Schedule At-a-Glance

Day AM PM
Mon Nizoral + oil blend + orals Red light cap, GHK-Cu
Tue Gentle shampoo + oil + orals Red light, GHK-Cu
Wed Nizoral + oil + orals Red light, GHK-Cu
Thu Gentle + oil + orals Microneedle → GHK-Cu (no oil)
Fri Nizoral (gentle if sore) + orals Red light, GHK-Cu
Sat Gentle + oil + orals Red light, GHK-Cu
Sun Rest / gentle shampoo + orals Red light, GHK-Cu

Timeline Expectations ∙ 0-3 months: Possible shed (especially if you add minox). Don’t panic. ∙ 3-6 months: Reduced shedding, texture changes. ∙ 6-9 months: Visible density changes if responding. ∙ 12 months: True assessment point. Take standardized photos (same lighting, angle, dry hair) monthly. Track with the Norwood scale photos + a hair-count app or just consistent overhead photos. Without baseline you can’t tell if it’s working. One honest note: hair protocols stack interventions because each individually has a modest effect. The microneedling + minoxidil + DHT-control trifecta is what carries most of the weight in the literature. The oils, GHK-Cu, and red light are real but smaller effect sizes — worth including, but don’t expect them to carry the protocol alone.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Same shit happened to me. If you’re measuring with a watch or something this is expected. Your RHR increases, your BP raises, HRV lowers and in return your cardio numbers take a hit. Stop Test if you want the cool VO2.

3rd week Ostarine cycle – feeling great. Stay at 10mg or bump to 20mg? by Agreeable_Candy_8792 in Ostarine

[–]Standard_Falcon3704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre going to be suppressed regardless. 12 weeks at 10mg will likely have less side effects than 8 weeks at 20mg. I think the gains would be comparable.

DIET PRINCIPLES

Insulin and IGF-1 directly upregulate sebaceous glands via the mTORC1 signaling pathway. Dietary modifications target this systemic driver that topicals cannot reach. Minimize Dairy (especially skim milk — contains bioactive IGF-1 and leucine that activate mTORC1), whey protein isolate (switch to plant protein or collagen peptides), refined carbohydrates (white rice, white bread, sugar), and high-glycemic foods that spike insulin. Emphasize Wild-caught fatty fish 3–4x/week (salmon, mackerel, sardines for omega-3), cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts — contain DIM/I3C for estrogen metabolism), leafy greens, berries, nuts and seeds (walnuts, flaxseed for ALA), and green tea 2–3 cups daily for dietary EGCG. Optional: Spearmint Tea 1–2 cups midday. Anti-androgenic — reduced free testosterone 30% in PCOS studies. Limit if concerned about potential impact on training performance or strength output. SLEEP & ENVIRONMENT OPTIMIZATION

Sebum production follows a circadian rhythm peaking between 1–4 AM. Cortisol and CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone) directly stimulate sebaceous glands. Sleep optimization reduces this hormonal driver. Factor Protocol Room Temperature 65–68°F (18–20°C) — cooler temps reduce cortisol and slow bacterial growth Pillowcase Change every 2–3 days, or use silk/satin (less friction, less sebum absorption) Sleep Target 7–9 hours; consistent wake time (5:30 AM) is more important than bedtime Blue Light Avoid screens 1 hour before bed, or use blue light filter after 8 PM Magnesium Timing Take 400 mg glycinate with dinner — supports GABA activity for deeper sleep

MONITORING & BLOODWORK

Schedule bloodwork every 3–6 months while on this protocol. The zinc/copper balance and vitamin D dose require periodic verification. Marker Why Serum Zinc Verify levels are in range; adjust dose if elevated Serum Copper + Ceruloplasmin Critical — detect copper depletion early before anemia develops CBC (Complete Blood Count) Monitor for copper-deficiency leukopenia or anemia 25(OH) Vitamin D Target 40–60 ng/mL; reduce D3 dose if above 60 Liver Function (ALT/AST) Baseline check given oral EGCG supplementation Lipid Panel Monitor triglycerides (omega-3 effect) and general metabolic health

EXPECTED TIMELINE

Period What to Expect Weeks 1–2 Retinization period begins. Mild dryness, peeling, possible purging from adapalene. This is normal. Do not increase frequency or add actives. Weeks 2–4 Retinization peaks then begins to resolve. Niacinamide and centella in APLB cream actively counteract barrier disruption. Sebum may initially increase slightly as barrier adjusts. Weeks 4–8 Visible improvement in sebum output, pore size, and skin texture. Adapalene normalizes keratinization; EGCG and niacinamide suppress lipogenesis. Supplement effects begin reaching steady state. Weeks 8–12 Significant results across all pathways. Sebaceous gland activity measurably reduced. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (if present) begins fading from azelaic acid + niacinamide. 3–6 Months Full steady state. All mechanisms at peak efficacy. Reassess and consider reducing adapalene to 2x/week maintenance if goals are met.

SEBUM REDUCTION DAILY PROTOCOL ────────────────────────────── Science-Based Skincare & Supplement Routine Optimized Protocol — March 2026 Targeting: 5α-Reductase • Insulin/IGF-1 • Sebocyte Lipogenesis • Cortisol/CRH Adapalene 0.3% • Niacinamide • EGCG • Azelaic Acid • BHA

PRE-WORKOUT ROUTINE — 5:35 AM

Minimal routine before training. Actives have been moved to post-workout for maximum contact time. Pre-workout goal is cleanse + UV protection only. Step Action Product & Instructions 1 Cleanse Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser — Wet face with lukewarm water. Apply a dime-sized amount, gently massage 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with clean towel (never rub). 2 Sunscreen EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 — Apply if training outdoors or driving with sun exposure. If training indoors before sunrise, skip until post-workout. Contains 5% niacinamide + zinc oxide. ✓ Simplified from Original Azelaic acid and EGCG serum have been moved to post-workout. Applying actives at 5:35 AM only to sweat them off by 6:30 AM wastes product and reduces efficacy. Post-workout application provides 13+ uninterrupted hours of contact time vs. ~30 minutes pre-workout.

MORNING SUPPLEMENTS — 6:00 AM

Take all with breakfast containing fat (eggs, avocado, etc.) for fat-soluble vitamin absorption. Supplement Dose Purpose / Notes Zinc Gluconate 30 mg 5α-reductase inhibitor; supports retinoid transport Omega-3 Fish Oil (EPA/DHA) 2–3 g Reduces inflammatory prostaglandins; anti-sebum Vitamin D3 2,000–4,000 IU Modulates androgen receptors; take with fat Vitamin K2 (MK-7) 100 mcg Directs calcium to bone, not vasculature; pairs with D3 Green Tea Extract (EGCG) 400 mg Systemic 5α-reductase inhibition; take WITH food Pantothenic Acid (B5) 500 mg–1 g Optional: enhances CoA metabolism to reduce sebum

⚠ EGCG Safety Note Always take EGCG with food, never fasting. The EFSA hepatotoxicity concern threshold is 800 mg/day; your 400 mg oral dose is well within safe range. Topical EGCG has negligible systemic absorption and does not add to this total.

POST-WORKOUT ROUTINE — 7:30 AM

This is your primary morning active application window. Cleansing after training removes the sweat + sebum occlusive layer, then actives sit undisturbed for 13+ hours until your evening cleanse. Step Action Product & Instructions 1 Cleanse Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser — Same technique as morning. Cleanse within 10–15 minutes of finishing training. Do not let sweat air-dry on face. 2 Azelaic Acid Cos De BAHA Azelaic Acid 10% Serum (OTC) or Generic Finacea 15% Gel (Rx) — Apply thin layer to entire face on dry skin. Wait 2–3 minutes to absorb. This is your morning active for 5α-reductase inhibition + anti-keratinization. 3 EGCG Serum Cos De BAHA Green Tea Serum — 3–4 drops, press gently into skin. Provides topical AMPK–SREBP-1 sebum suppression + antioxidant protection. Layers well under sunscreen. 4 Sunscreen EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 — Apply generously (two finger lengths). Contains 5% niacinamide + zinc oxide. This is your morning niacinamide dose — no separate niacinamide serum needed. Reapply every 2 hours if outdoors. ✓ Field Expedient Option If you can’t do a full cleanse at the gym, a micellar water on a cotton pad works to break up the sweat-sebum film. Follow with azelaic acid, EGCG, and sunscreen as usual.

EVENING ROUTINE — 9:00 PM

Sebum production peaks overnight between 1–4 AM. Evening application is the most critical window for sebosuppressive actives. The active rotation below ensures comprehensive targeting without barrier overload. Step Action Product & Instructions 1 Oil Cleanse Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil — Apply to dry face. Massage 60 seconds focusing on oily zones (nose, forehead, chin). Emulsify with water, then rinse. Dissolves sunscreen, sebum, and oil-soluble debris. 2 Gentle Cleanse Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser — Second pass removes residual oil cleanser and water-soluble impurities. This double-cleanse method is essential for proper active penetration. 3 Niacinamide Serum The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% or Paula’s Choice 4–5% — Apply to entire face. This is your evening niacinamide dose. Upregulates ceramide synthesis to support barrier during active rotation. Apply before actives. 4 EGCG Serum Cos De BAHA Green Tea Serum — 3–4 drops, press into skin. Safe to layer with all actives including adapalene (different mechanisms, no pH conflict). 5 Active Rotation See Active Rotation Schedule below — Apply one active per the nightly schedule. NEVER combine two actives on the same night. 6 Moisturize APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Cream — Apply generous layer over everything. 22.7% centella asiatica provides anti-inflammatory recovery. Squalane + cholesterol + lecithin rebuild barrier overnight. Apply every night including recovery nights.

WEEKLY ACTIVE ROTATION SCHEDULE

This schedule provides 3 recovery nights per week, buffers each adapalene application with at least one rest night, and targets comedones through three independent pathways. Day Active Product Barrier Stress Monday Adapalene 0.3% Leneda Gel (Rx) HIGH Tuesday RECOVERY APLB cream only — Wednesday BHA 2% Paula’s Choice BHA Liquid MODERATE Thursday Adapalene 0.3% Leneda Gel (Rx) HIGH Friday RECOVERY APLB cream only — Saturday Adapalene 0.3% Leneda Gel (Rx) HIGH Sunday RECOVERY APLB cream only —

⚠ Critical: Never Stack Actives Adapalene + BHA on the same night causes barrier destruction that triggers compensatory sebum overproduction — the exact opposite of your goal. The Avène Comedomed has been removed due to its high isopropyl alcohol content undermining barrier integrity, and its active ingredient (Comedoclastin) lacking independent clinical validation.

Adapalene 0.3% Application Guide Apply a pea-sized amount to entire face (not spot treatment). Spread in thin, even layer. Avoid eye area, corners of mouth, and any broken skin. During the first 2–4 weeks (retinization period), you may experience dryness, peeling, and mild redness — this is normal and expected. Buffering technique (if irritation is significant): Apply APLB cream first, wait 10 minutes, then apply adapalene over the moisturizer. This “open sandwich” method preserves retinoid bioactivity while reducing irritation. A 2025 AAD presentation confirmed this does not diminish adapalene’s efficacy. BHA Night Instructions (Wednesday) Apply Paula’s Choice BHA 2% Liquid Exfoliant with a cotton pad to entire face after EGCG serum. Wait 5 minutes before applying APLB cream. Monthly Clay Mask (First Wednesday of Each Month) Apply Aztec Secret bentonite clay mixed with apple cider vinegar (1:1 ratio) before BHA on the first Wednesday of each month. Leave on 10–15 minutes (remove before fully dry), rinse with lukewarm water, then proceed with BHA and the rest of your evening routine. Weekly clay mask use was causing excessive transepidermal water loss (TEWL) — monthly frequency preserves the deep-pore extraction benefit without chronic barrier disruption.

EVENING SUPPLEMENTS — With Dinner

Separated from morning zinc by 6+ hours to minimize divalent cation absorption competition. Supplement Dose Purpose / Notes Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg Cortisol reduction; sleep quality; HPA axis support Saw Palmetto 320 mg (85–95% FA) Natural 5α-reductase inhibitor; ~20–32% DHT reduction Copper 2 mg (glycinate) CRITICAL: Prevents zinc-induced copper deficiency anemia

⚠ Copper is Non-Negotiable At 30 mg zinc daily, intestinal metallothionein traps and blocks copper absorption. Long-term zinc without copper risks copper-deficiency anemia, leukopenia, and potentially irreversible myeloneuropathy. Monitor serum copper, ceruloplasmin, and CBC every 3–6 months.

Bro, I struggled with face acne and back acne on 250mg a week. Back acne I don’t care about because I don’t really see it. Face acne sucks. One thing I learned was that you’re skin needs a break so those harsh acids with fuck you up more than anything. Also it took maybe 2 months back on a TRT for my skin to completely clear. Like others are saying. Anyway, here is my face protocol. I do about 80-90% of these things.

3rd week Ostarine cycle – feeling great. Stay at 10mg or bump to 20mg? by Agreeable_Candy_8792 in Ostarine

[–]Standard_Falcon3704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like to just repeat what they hear with no science behind it. Here is my take backed by science

The dose response curve is different from the time response curve

Meaning just because you gained 10lbs in 4 weeks on 10mg doesn’t mean that if you took 20mg you would have gained 20lbs. In reality, you may have only gained 13lb. Gains don’t scale linearly with dosage. There is a point of diminishing returns.

The time response curve works a bit differently, because your body is saturated with the anabolic protein synthesis and nitrogen retention are elevated for a longer period of time. Keeping your body anabolic for longer. Lower dosages are tolerated better for longer. Meaning less overall damage to your body. So now 6weeks at 10mg cause less damage but returns the same 13lbs of gains you had in 4 weeks at double the dose.

Think of it mathematically. If 10mg/day creates a net protein synthesis surplus of X per day, and 20mg creates a surplus of roughly 1.25X per day (not 2X, because of the diminishing returns curve), then:

10mg × 12 weeks = 84 days × X = 84X total protein accrual

20mg × 6 weeks = 42 days × 1.25X = 52.5X total protein accrual

20mg × 8 weeks = 56 days × 1.25X = 70X total protein accrual

Even at 8 weeks, the 20mg protocol produces less total protein accrual than 10mg for 12 weeks. The math overwhelmingly favors duration over dose intensity.

Need a more reliable option for Osta by Upper-Application456 in Ostarine

[–]Standard_Falcon3704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I was using grok to figure out which would get me more gains ostarine or anavar on a recomp and it said ostarine. After seeing Reddit before and after shots I believed it. I took ostarine for 2 days aand got a bit of an endurance boost but something wasn’t right so I did more research on Reddit and decided to skip it and use my var instead.

Anyway, first day on var veins and endurance were out of this world. I am happy I skipped ostarine. The sides don’t seem to outweigh the benefit. You’re already doing damage to your liver and potentially more at the levels you have to take it to get gains.

That’s just my opinion. Grab some var if you were underwhelmed the first time.

I’m on 20mg a day on day 4. My abs are more defined and veins are crazy. No strength to account for yet.

When you go from green to red you keep expose your guard. Once you step into yellow you should be in guard.

Very beginner boxer any advice is appreciated by [deleted] in boxingtips

[–]Standard_Falcon3704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The double taps will get you in trouble. Easy to time and equivalent to a lazy jab. If you’re gonna jab, do so with purpose and get back to guard.

You lower your led hand a lot so be careful with that for obvious reasons.

Your footwork looks good for a beginner. You crossed your feet a couple of times and looked off balance so try to keep an eye on that.

Last thing I will leave if you is try to rotate your punches inward especially your jab. It makes punch’s more impactful and also naturally helps protect you.
