What is 2-deoxy-D-ribose?
2-deoxy-D-ribose is a natural sugar molecule vital to DNA, the building block of life. A 2024 study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology explored 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2DDR) as a natural hair growth solution. Researchers from the University of Sheffield and COMSATS University Pakistan applied a 2DDR gel to mice with testosterone-induced androgenic alopecia. Over 20 days, the gel stimulated hair regrowth by promoting new blood vessel formation, matching minoxidil’s effectiveness (80-90%). The study suggests 2-deoxy-D-ribose's potential for treating hair loss, with results similar to minoxidil.
In DeoxyMax, our 5% 2-deoxy-D-ribose concentration powers hair follicle health, stimulating growth and strength.
Frequently asked Questions
No, DeoxyMax™ is not a drug. Using ingredients that can be found in nature—2-deoxy-D-ribose, caffeine, and peppermint oil—it is a cosmetic product designed to enhance the appearance of thicker, healthier hair. Unlike synthetic drugs like minoxidil or finasteride, DeoxyMax™ offers a gentler approach to hair health. It is not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent hair loss or any medical condition.
The safety and efficacy of 2-deoxy-D-ribose for hair growth in humans have not been evaluated by the FDA. Consult a healthcare provider if you have medical concerns about hair loss.
DeoxyMax™ delivers maximum potency and results. With 5% 2-deoxy-D-ribose concentration—far surpassing the industry’s typical 2% or less—combined with caffeine and peppermint oil, DeoxyMax™ maximizes hair follicle stimulation and growth.
DeoxyMax offers a natural alternative to minoxidil with promising results. The 2024 Frontiers study showed 2-deoxy-D-ribose, our key ingredient at 5%, matched minoxidil’s effectiveness (80-90%) in mice. Combined with caffeine and peppermint oil, DeoxyMax targets hair health holistically. While minoxidil is widely used, it can cause side effects like scalp irritation. DeoxyMax aims for similar results with a gentler, natural approach—though human studies are still needed to confirm its edge.
DeoxyMax stands out with its 5% 2-deoxy-D-ribose concentration—higher than the competition’s typical 2% or less—delivering stronger hair growth stimulation. Combined with caffeine and peppermint oil, our three powerhouse ingredients work synergistically for maximum results.
While results vary, DeoxyMax offers a potent, science-backed formula designed to outperform standard hair growth solutions.
Be particularly weary of “white label” 2DDR products made in China and sold by different names on Amazon or elsewhere. Notice they don’t even say how much 2DDR is in it. You can identify them by their white or silver stick-on label, generic name, and minimal branding.
Results with DeoxyMax vary, but based on the 2024 Frontiers in Pharmacology study, mice showed hair regrowth after 20 days of daily 2-deoxy-D-ribose use. For humans, expect 4-6 weeks of consistent application to notice fuller, stronger hair, as caffeine and peppermint oil enhance follicle stimulation. Hair growth cycles differ, so some may see changes sooner, while others might need 2-3 months for maximum impact. Apply daily and stay patient for best results!
We do not sell a 1-month supply bottle because of the time it takes to begin seeing results. Expect 4-6 weeks of constant application (we recommend 2x day) to see new hairs growing. We don’t want you to give up if after 4 weeks you don’t see the results you expected, especially since the typical results are just about to begin showing!
Remember, results vary and 2-deoxy-D-ribose is not FDA-approved to treat, cure, or prevent hair loss or any medical condition. It is a cosmetic product intended to promote the appearance of thicker, healthier hair through the use of 2-deoxy-D-ribose, caffeine, and peppermint oil. Results may vary, and the safety and efficacy of 2-deoxy-D-ribose for hair growth in humans have not been evaluated by the FDA. Consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about hair loss.
Shake the bottle before use.
Patch Test: Test on a small scalp area first—peppermint oil can cause a cooling sensation or irritation in rare cases.
Apply 0.75 mL (16-17 drops) twice daily.
Massage gently into thinning areas. The peppermint oil may tingle slightly, enhancing the experience.
- 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose: This natural sugar boosts scalp blood flow, promoting hair regrowth and thicker density in thinning areas.
- Caffeine: Stimulates scalp circulation, strengthening hair follicles to support healthier, fuller hair growth.
- Peppermint Oil: Provides a refreshing tingle that enhances blood flow, proven to encourage hair follicle activity for improved density.
- Propylene Glycol: Acts as a carrier to help other ingredients penetrate the scalp, ensuring effective delivery and adding moisturizing properties.
- Ethanol: Helps the solution dry quickly, reduces greasiness, and aids penetration through the scalp’s oily barrier while keeping the formula sterile.
- Phenoxyethanol: Preserves the serum, protecting it from bacteria to maintain safety and freshness.
- Distilled Water: Forms the base of the serum, hydrating the scalp and supporting the blend of active ingredients.
