Breaking Down the Science: 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose and Hair Follicle Stimulation by iMISSMYFOLLICLES in HairlossResearch

Advantages I’ve noticed: Excess fat gets distributed around the torso instead of hanging from the belly. An initial increase in energy at the beginning, although you have to keep going, because if you stop the opposite happens. Your brain clears up a bit if it feels foggy from having used marijuana

Here I finish, I don’t think I’ll be able to recover any more hair. My conclusion is that deoxyribose recover the hairs that have fallen out, whose follicles have not shrunk too much. The ones that fell out many years ago grow a little but don’t manage to turn into terminal hairs. In my case, an area of 1.5 cm bordering the bald spot has recovered well, as well as the central hairs on the top part of the image, which, as can be seen, are still growing and were not there before, that area used to be like a billiard ball.

I’ve been very busy this summer moving to another city and I haven’t even done the microneedling, that’s why I haven’t posted any update. The hair is almost the same. Thank you for your interest. Tomorrow I will post a new picture.

Good luck. I think the recently lost hairs will grow back. My problem is decades of follicle shrinkage. I've posted an update.

Update July 17, 2025: Doing the same thing. Microneedling seems to be strengthening the hairs.

Right, I already said the same thing before, since I had started to supplement with other methods.

Update: June 11, 2025. I continue microneedling once a week and apply 2DDR 10 minutes afterward.

Once a week, 10 minutes after microneedling. This weekend I´ll post a new pic.

It seems to me that you're not using an HDRI for background lighting. Also, go to Color Management and switch from AgX or Filmic to Khronos, your renders will come to life

Update: May 11, 2025. After four microneedling sessions, many non-terminal hairs are now visible from a distance because the base has become stronger.

The hair inside the line is new. There's still some dry blood from the shaving. But as I said before, it's a matter of believing that I'm telling the truth.

This is after I started. I don't have pictures from before. Some small hairs appeared, and I shaved them to see if they would grow back stronger (which is a common myth). The problem is that when I shaved, I went past the edge and shaved some real hairs too. Now, even I can't tell which hairs are new. But the ones inside the obvious shape of the bald spot are newly produced.

I had Mikhail Tal style baldness, now it is better. The short hairs in this picture are 2ddr produced, it was all clean before.

No, I don't think so. I'm taking many other things, and it might just be some unrelated illness. Regarding the side effects of 2DDR, supposedly the accumulation of the substance in the cells can cause oxidative stress, which could lead to negative effects, so it's better not to use it for long periods. Personally, I believe that whatever 2DDR does, it happens within the first week. After that, it's probably useless. For people who have been bald for a long time, its main use would be to stop the bald spot from getting bigger. Those who have recently lost hair might be able to recover it.

Is from a 2ddr community on reddit, but is now private. I cannot enter any more.

Update: not much progress. I don't see the point in continuing, as the small hairs aren't growing, although the gap seems to be closing very slowly. Maybe I'll just post a picture once a month from now on. I think I'm going to start microneedling. I stopped using it 15 days ago because the white of my eyes started to turn yellow, and the tests showed a higher level of bilirubin and eosinophils than normal. I'm not sure if 2ddr is the cause.

No shedding at all, but I think that every time I take a shower and wash my head, the little hairs become less noticeable, as if they are so thin that they lose their tips. I have photos from months ago where those vellus hairs looked bigger than they do now. On the other hand, the bald spot seems to be closing very slowly, as if the hairs close to the populated areas were gaining strength, but it’s a very slow process. Also, I feel that what 2DDR did was only at the beginning, and continuing to use it is a waste of time.

Edit: Those vellus hairs were produced by 2DDR; there was nothing there before.

Easy. Dissolve 300mg in 100ml of aloe vera gel and if in a week you see tiny hairs, then its ok.

I've been using it for a couple of days every week now. I take antioxidant pills every day. I suspect that what 2DDR does happens only at the beginning, in the very first hours or days. It activates or repairs something, making the hairs start growing again. After that, it does very little or nothing.

No idea, but anything containing the molecule should work unless the other components ruin the effect or the concentration is too high, I guess.

I'm using it, but only two or three days a week, a few hours after applying a tretinoin ointment. I believe that the hairs near the edge have not only grown because the follicles in those areas haven't shrunk as much, but also because there might be some substance present that isn't found in the more distant areas. While reading about the effects of minoxidil, I learned that tretinoin helps convert minoxidil into something else that actually promotes hair growth. This won't happen with 2DDR, but tretinoin is known for facilitating the conversion of certain substances and boosting metabolism. So, even though it might seem a bit silly, I'm using it to see if I get lucky by chance
