@loving_universe @bryan_johnson @anatman_acc @hubermanlab Minoxidil is a blood pressure med and so its side effect is lowering blood pressure which can cause dizziness; it can also cause rapid heart rate and weight gain. Pumpkin seed oil I believe is a safer alternative. I talk more about this in my video here: https://t.co/S0E09VipDv
