AHK-Cu + Hyaluronic Acid vs. simple water-based serum — which is better?

I’m looking into making a DIY AHK-Cu scalp serum for hair growth and trying to decide between:

AHK-Cu + hyaluronic acid (HA) as the base

AHK-Cu + distilled water + a few basic formulation ingredients/preservative

Does HA actually provide any meaningful benefit for an AHK-Cu hair-growth serum, or is it mainly there for hydration/texture and a simple water-based serum would be just as good?

Also looking at this 99% AHK-Cu powder from Bulk
Naturals Wholesale:

https://www.bulknaturalswholesale.com/products/99-ahk-cu-copper-tri-peptide-1-powder-hair-growth-anti-aging-healing
Is this a good-quality source, and is it one of the cheapest places to buy AHK-Cu, or are there better suppliers?

Would appreciate opinions from anyone who has actually formulated or used AHK-Cu topically.

Also, I don’t see any good videos on YT yet. If someone has made a real good solution which works, can you please make a video if you can.

Also, can someone share the exact recipe which worked for you. Some people are using glycerine, distilled water and then some preservatives as well. Just very confused with the options.

Also read that oridnary hair serum has lot of other compounds and it’s better to use ahkcu with regular HA or some other compounds. Thanks in advance.

Are we looking at almost a year as with impending midterm correction, we might hit 7-8 levels again. What key events could move it again to ATH. At what levels you plan to exit this stock.

What do we eat now then ?

Ever since the UC Davis study exposed just how many mainstream "healthy" brands and packaged foods are secretly cut with cheap seed oils or mislabeled entirely, relying on store-shelf claims has become a gamble. Time and again, once-promising brands compromise their standards the moment they scale up or get acquired by massive food conglomerates looking to cut costs. If we want genuinely clean, seed-oil-free food, we need to bypass corporate greenwashing and start actively supporting small, independent producers who actually practice what they preach.

I want to start a crowdsourced thread focused strictly on verified, seed-oil-free food products and trustworthy brands. The goal is to build a community-vetted resource of small-batch companies that prioritize real ingredient integrity—using true extra virgin olive oil, 100% pure avocado oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter, tallow, or ghee without sneaking in soybean, canola, or sunflower oil behind our backs.

Whether it is small-scale chip and snack makers, artisanal mayo and dressing producers, clean condiments, or local pantry suppliers, let's highlight the true alternatives. We are specifically looking for mission-driven, founder-owned businesses that utilize strict third-party purity testing and remain committed to independence rather than selling out to corporate giants.

Drop your favorite seed-oil-free brands, specific products, and direct-to-consumer hidden gems. Share what they make, the exact cooking fats or oils they use, and why their sourcing has earned your trust. Let's build a list we can actually rely on so we can vote with our wallets and keep our pantries clean.

Thanks again.

What type of skin infection is this ? Any solution or home remedy

Hello guys, my cousin has this skin infection in his groin area and this infection has persisted for around 2-3 months and is super itchy. He tried sulphur soap and has just started oil of oregano to solve it. Can someone here confirm the type of fungal infection and what should we do. Thanks in advance. Gemini suggests it could be tinea crusis or intertrigo. Thanks.

How soon your battery degraded for 15 PM ?

Guys, it seems 15 PM battery degraded pretty soon for me as compared to all the old models I have owned. It literally took 1.5 years to reach 80% with 1002 cycles. I am really curious about other people’s battery health and how long did you wait for a new battery replacement. I am not even a power user and had to charge the phone multiple times a day only after 1 year.

So, please share your thoughts and are there any hacks/settings you used to keep it running for long. It’s frustrating that the battery now needs replacement before 2-2.5 years.

I learnt that closing the apps like X, Reddit, FB, maps, etc does help a lot as they do drain your battery like crazy when running in the background.

What’s the review for 365 unscented WF laundry detergent?

Basically, is the product as good as attitude and branch basics and I heard branch basics doesn’t clean the clothes well. So, is the 365 unscented a great option ?

https://assets.wholefoodsmarket.com/www/products/hh-cleaning-products-ca-disclosure/laundry-detergent/SafetyDataSheet-365-2xConcentratedPowderLaundryDetergent-Unscented.pdf

I am not sure if the box says “non-toxic” but it’s not as chemically based as some of the other detergents and is more plant derived! hope this info helps :D 

@brianwally what’s your thought if you look at the above pdf?

Privacy Concern How to have Unlisted Video deleted ?

I’m hoping someone here can help.

Someone uploaded YouTube videos containing sensitive information, including my phone number in the video description. The videos appear as unlisted. I can’t find them through YouTube search, and they only open if I have the direct link.

What confuses me is that even though the videos are unlisted, someone was somehow able to find them and contact me using the phone number listed in the description. I thought unlisted videos weren’t searchable, so I’m trying to understand how this could have happened.

I have a few questions:

Is there any way to get an unlisted YouTube video
removed if it contains my personal information?

What is the best process to report it to YouTube?
Is there a way to download an unlisted video if I have the link?

How could someone have found an unlisted video in the first place?

Can unlisted videos still appear in search engines or be discovered in other ways?

I would really appreciate any advice or if anyone has dealt with something similar. Thank you!

Impact of midterms on NOK & Will we hit 20 this year.

What’s everyone’s take here on NOK price action during midterms. Will it be brutal for them as other American companies or will it be immune to it as it’s an European company. What’s the probability of it hitting 6-7 from here if spy corrects let’s say 10% to 680 during Sep - Oct months. And, if that happens then we will almost not hit 15 for a long time imo as it will be almost over 100% increase. What’s everyone’s take here.

I bought options - calls around when NOK was 14 and heavily down on my $25 calls - 75 % down expiring Jan 28. How bad of a situation i am in ?

Best Costco non toxic products.

I just bought organic peanut butter which I think is the best on the market when you factor in the price and all. I am looking for the list of best non toxic products which you can buy at Costco. It could be anything from cosmetics to cleansing products to food products to anything.

Costco also keeps skippy peanut butter which is shite product as it has palm oil. So, you have to be wary of that as well. Hence, the question.

Buy the dips now or after midterms ?

I am curious how everyone is approaching this market.
On one hand, prices have come down and buying during periods of weakness has often rewarded long-term investors. On the other hand, midterm elections can bring uncertainty, and some people prefer to wait until the political and economic outlook is a little clearer.

Are you:

Buying the dip now and averaging in?
Waiting until after the midterms?
Sitting on cash until a bigger pullback?
Ignoring the headlines and sticking to your normal investing schedule?

Interested to hear how others are thinking about it and why. Thanks in advance.

Also, I know most of us have invested in AI related stocks and they are the ones seeing major correction but SPY hasn’t even corrected yet. So, what’s the take here.

Loop Recommendation for High-Pitched Door Slams and Vibrations

I’m looking for some advice on which loop earplug would be most effective for my situation.

My neighbor’s door creates a noticeable vibration along with a high-pitched noise every time it closes. In addition, many of the other apartment doors in the building also slam loudly, producing the typical hard door-banging sound.

This happens several times a day (around 5–6 times on average) and sometimes at night as well. The combination of the sharp, high-pitched sound and the vibration is what bothers me the most.

For anyone who has dealt with something similar, which Loop earplug product would you recommend for reducing the impact of these door-slamming noises and vibrations while still being practical for everyday use?

Customer service suggested Loop Quiet 2 for the day and Loop Dream for the night. Please share your thoughts.

Also, I have air pods pro with ANC and it didn’t eliminate this noise don’t know why.

Extreme Sun Tan - Is it just me, or is the Chicago sun hitting way different this year?

Hi Chicago,

I feel like I am losing a war against the sun right now. I have lived here a while, but this summer is genuinely catching me off guard. I have gone several shades darker in just two or three days of being out, and it’s not budging even after my regular face wash routine. I am diligent about using Tizo mineral sunscreen, which I love, but it feels like the sun here in Chicago is just bypassing it entirely.

It seems like I am tanning significantly faster than anyone else around me, and honestly, the intensity of the heat is unexpected. I really don’t like wearing hats all the time, so I am looking for any and all advice on how to handle this. Are there specific local strategies I am missing? What are your secrets for surviving this without having to cover my head? Would love to hear how you all are protecting your skin during this heatwave. Thanks in advance.
