Why it works

MINX is not
normal minoxidil

It’s a proprietary, patent-pending lipid matrix formulation designed to reshape the oral minoxidil curve into an extended-release profile.

Standard oral minoxidil dissolves at once, so plasma levels spike within the hour and fall away by evening. MINX holds minoxidil inside a lipid matrix that releases it gradually as the capsule moves through the gut. Taken with food, we measured a slow, steady rise over eight hours and modeled a peak around one-sixth of immediate-release minoxidil’s, at comparable total exposure. The mechanism predicts fewer peak-driven side effects; head-to-head trials have not been run.

The results are in

MINX stays in the sweet-spot for longer

so far the minx has produced zero observational side effects or cardiovascular troubles. my first month on it, there was slight puffiness under the eyes upon waking but that was easily dealt with by applying a cold compress or ice. my body seems to have acclimated to the minoxidil.

Frequently asked questions from Anagen customers

MINX is a compounded smooth-release oral minoxidil capsule that demonstrated an extended-release profile in observational testing. "Extended-release" is an FDA dosage-form designation, which cannot be claimed without comprehensive clinical trials. Neither MINX nor any other currently available oral minoxidil is FDA-approved for hair loss. MINX is available today after an online consultation. Compounded under §503A; prescription required. Compounded drugs are not FDA-reviewed for safety or effectiveness.
MINX is a 5 mg oral minoxidil capsule. We developed the formulation to explore whether it could smoothen minoxidil release in vitro compared with an immediate-release comparator.
