Has Anyone Tried DMSO + Curcumin
I was just wondering if anyone has tried DMSO and curcumin as a topical or as an adjunct to the IH topical. Did you have any results? How much curcumin did you use?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I haven't tried this, but it sounds like a good idea. Curcumin is supposed to down-regulate the expression of androgen receptors, and it would probably also serve as an anti-oxidant in the scalp tissue. I've also heard that it absorbs well through the epidermis.

Cellular uptake and intracellular distribution of curcumin
Cellular uptake of curcumin was observed in HaCaT keratinocytes incubated with 5 mug/ml curcumin after different time intervals ranging from 0 minute to 6 hours in cell culture medium without phenol red. Methanolic extracts were photometrically measured for curcumin as described. It was found that curcumin rapidly penetrated the cells (Figure 1a). After only 15 minutes, a significant amount was found within the cells. After 45 minutes, a maximum of intracellular curcumin was reached followed by a slow but steady decrease of optical density. To trace the subcellular distribution, curcumin-treated cells were examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Figure 1b shows curcumin-derived fluorescence accumulated in the cytoplasmic granula located close to the nucleus after 40 minutes. This cellular distribution was not changed within the observation period (4 hours) nor after treatment with UVA. Interestingly, the nucleus itself showed no fluorescence, indicating that curcumin and its fluorescing derivates do not enter the nucleus

I was hoping to create something similar to the CB topical that everyone in the other forum is in love with at the moment since it uses a curcumin derivative.

Yeah, that's the one. I might be wrong, but I thought that was a curcumin derived product.
