• This increses hair growth everywhere. But I don’t think it grows new hairs.
• The Ricinoleic Acid content herein induces PGE2 synthesis and agonizes EP3 and EP4 receptors (PGE2 receptors).
• Not a 5-AR inhibitor or anything. It’s safe, unlike peppermint oil
• 1% palmitic, 1% stearic, 3.2% oleic, 4-7% linoleic, and 90% ricinoleic.

Supplementation #

• Bloats some people, and might make your face’s skin look weird?
• Oral gave a guy Gyno, probably due to aromatase. Wonder how much this is prevented with topical.

You can take it orally (better absorption, best option) or topically mix it with DMSO, or keep it on your scalp all day. Or eyebrows as a Minoxidil alternative.

• 1-4ml per day, never taking >2ml at once, since PGE2 is laxative and can upset the stomach.

  • Ray Peat said it isn’t absorbed, so it can be taken safely a few times a week to clean the intestines.

• NOW Solutions Castor Oil.

• Apparently has to be cold-pressed to do anything.

• People mix it with coconut oil in a 1:2 ratio.
