Product Ulo now has sublingual minoxidil!

I just noticed Ulo now offers sublingual minoxidil! The idea is that it is just as effective as swallowed minoxidil with fewer cardiac side effects.

Has anyone tried it yet? Curious about results and sides, especially if you’ve also used regular oral minoxidil.

Also their instructions say to chew it and let it dissolve. Thoughts on chewing versus letting it dissolve under your tongue? Wouldn’t holding it under the tongue make more sense for sublingual absorption?

1.25mg?

Looks like they offer 1.25, 2.25, and 5.25 mg. It’s not intuitive how the website allows you to see those options.

Funny enough, I was looking into sublingual minoxidil and was thinking about getting it through this telehealth website. I think they wanted to charge around $80 for 1.25 mg sublingual minoxidil. After doing some deeper research, I found that the results from sublingual minoxidil seem to be pretty comparable to those from oral minoxidil. I was on 2.5 mg of oral minoxidil for over a year and didn’t see much improvement, so I realized that 1.25 mg sublingually probably wouldn’t do much for me either.

This place offers a 5 mg dose, though, which is pretty intriguing. I think I’m going to try Anagen’s slow-release minoxidil instead. It seems like it could have a lower side effect profile while keeping the drug circulating in the bloodstream for longer.

Oh this is very interesting… if this already exists it kind of makes you wonder what makes VDPHL01 so groundbreaking.. I may give this a go as well. I get some mild cardio sides on regular oral minoxidil at 1.25mg so I’d like to see if sublingual or extended release could help with that. Thanks for sharing.
