Topical diazoxide,
for the non-responders.

A topical preparation of diazoxide, a potassium-channel opener in minoxidil's class, but one that works without the sulfation step minoxidil depends on. It's still in early development, and we're opening the program to Founding Members.

What the evidence says

Real signal, evidence based.

Fifty years of people have taken it by mouth for something else and grown hair they never asked for.

Why diazoxide, and for whom

Minoxidil is a prodrug. Some people can't switch it on.

Minoxidil only works after an enzyme in the hair follicle, SULT1A1, converts it to its active form. People whose follicles sulfate poorly can apply minoxidil for months and get almost nothing.

Diazoxide opens the follicle's potassium channels directly, with no sulfation step required. Minoxidil's active form reaches only one of those channels (SUR2B). That makes it a lever for a specific group: people who don't respond to minoxidil because they can't sulfate it.

The Founding Members program

Reserve your spot for $249.99.

A fully refundable $249.99 deposit reserves your Founding spot and first access at launch. The first 50 spots also receive a tiered supply credit. Nothing else is charged now.

When Diazoxide launches, the deposit applies as credit.

Reserve now

A fully refundable $249.99 deposit locks your spot and first access until Diazoxide launches. Spots 1–50 also lock a covered-supply tier.

Questions

FAQ

What am I paying for right now?

A fully refundable $249.99 deposit reserves your Founding spot and first access at launch while the product is still in development. The first 50 spots also receive tiered Covered Supply. At launch the deposit is applied as credit to your order; those first 50 members can earn back the rest of their Covered Supply through 3 check-ins.

When will it launch?

We're targeting September 2026 for first prescriptions. That depends on solubility, stability, API lead time, and pharmacy and clinician sign-off, so it can move. If it never launches, you're refunded in full.

Why does the strength say 2% to 5% instead of one number?

The 17-vehicle solubility screen sets it. Results have not been published yet. Publishing a number before then would be a guess. If solubility comes back low, the final strength may land below this range, and we'll say so. The covered-supply months assigned to the first 50 members stay fixed.

Will this get into my bloodstream?

Probably yes, in small amounts. Our modelling puts a daily user around 5 to 10 ng/mL, roughly a hundredfold below the ~1,430 ng/mL where diazoxide's systemic side effects begin. That estimate is modelled rather than measured, which is why the Founding cohort has bloods drawn.

Is this a security or an investment?

No. It's a refundable consumer deposit that reserves a spot and first access, and provides R&D updates. The first 50 spots also receive a covered-supply tier. At launch the deposit is applied as credit to your order.

Will I need a prescription?

Yes. It would ship as a §503A compounded prescription product. At launch you'd complete a telehealth intake, and a licensed clinician would decide whether it's appropriate for you. US shipping only.

Does it work?

We're testing that now and will report what we find. Topical diazoxide for hair loss has never been tested in a human trial. The mechanism and animal evidence are promising, especially for minoxidil non-responders, but this remains investigational.

How do the refunds work?

Your $249.99 deposit is refunded in full if we fall short of 50 Founding Members, the product never launches, or a clinician declines to prescribe it to you. At launch the deposit is applied as credit to your order. For spots 1–50, the rest of Covered Supply can be earned back via 3 check-ins.

Topical diazoxide is an investigational, compounded formulation in early development, and its formulation specifics may evolve per the Program Terms. It is not approved by the FDA for hair loss, has not been evaluated in a human clinical trial for androgenetic alopecia, and is intended to be provided, if and when it clears development, as a §503A compounded product pursuant to an individual prescription from a licensed clinician. Nothing on this page is medical advice or a claim of efficacy or safety, and you should speak to a prescriber before starting or stopping any therapy.

The Founding Members program is a conditional consumer deposit. The $249.99 deposit is fully refundable if the 50-member minimum is not met, the product does not launch, or a clinician declines to prescribe it. Credit is account credit toward product. The Product's retail price has not been set; the first 50 members' benefit is fixed in months of Covered Supply, not dollars. Diazoxide, taken systemically, can cause fluid retention, elevated blood glucose, and generalized hair growth; the systemic safety of a topical formulation in humans has not been established. Full terms are in the Founding Members Program Terms.

For spots 1–50, the check-in photos and questionnaires submitted to earn back credit grant Anagen a permanent licence to use them in de-identified and aggregate form, for research, product development, and marketing. Using them in any form that identifies you personally is opt-in only, and you can withdraw that consent at any time for future uses, as set out in the Program Terms and Privacy Policy.
