Sourcing topical vitamin D

I’m intrigued with all the talk about topical vitamin D enough to try to add to my stack, I figure the downside is very low so why not try?

I was wondering about sourcing. In most countries it requires a prescription which I think would be difficult to obtain since it is off label use for androgenic allopecia, it is mostly prescribed for psoriasis.

I was wondering if anyone had successful sources? I’ve heard rather mixed things about indamart where they don’t use discrete packaging for customs.

There are also two forms: calcipotriol and calcitriol. I would probably lean towards the former since it is engineered to limit systemic absorption.

Thanks for any input! Also I’m based in East Asia in case that affects shopping.

I applied 3HP for one month and am seeing a lot more vellus intermediate hairs in my temples so I am planning on continuing with product, but from reading the PP405 study and various research I had seen it appears best not to indefinitely apply the ointment. I am a bit fuzzy with understand but it seems that too much could overwhelm the cells and then they go into die off.

So curious how others are pulsing dosing. Would it be better to do 1 day on 3 off or something like 1 month on 1 month off? I know this is theoretical but I welcome other experimenters opinions.
