Capsaicin and Soy Isoflavones Promote Hair Growth

[bananana]

Capsaicin is basically in ANY hot food - peppers, tabasco... It's very cheap as a supplement also. They used only 6 mg daily.

Soy is found in tofu, soy beans, soy milk (you should drink 3 glasses daily to get 70 mg) small amount is found in soy sauce...

cheers mate!

so if i drink 3 glasses of soy milk i will reach 70 mg right?
Capsaicin how much tabasco or spicy food i should eat about to be inline with the doses of the TEST ?

thx a lot for the answers guys

[bananana]

Yup.
3 glasses (each one is ~300 ml) of milk is 70 mg or above of soy.

But for tabasco - I don't really know.
Tabasco is very low on "hotness" level.
It has score of 5000 units, while the pure capsaicin is 16 million.

But I guess spraying it a bit on your every meal is good quantity.
Don't go berserk on it thou, too much of it can irritate the stomach, mouth etc..

i will do the same...
do someone know some SUPPLEMENTS with a low % of capsaicin ?
i read that taking too much will cause some problems...maybe...
so i would like to take about the same % they tried in the tests...

thx to everyone

Take a look at this topical soulution- capsaicin for scalp?

What do you think about this?
Pretty cheap - $10 for 120 ml.
Purified water, caffeine, saw palmetto, nettle, olive leaf, pygeum, rosemary, oleoresin capsicum, alpha lipoic acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vegetable glycerin, potassium sorbate.

I think it could be helpful...

4 months in, taking soy and capsaicin every day.

Nothing major to report, thickness may be improved a bit but really hard to tell yet.
I'll wait at least 6 months before giving some judgement.

I was thinking of buying soy isoflavones but don't you have to be a natural equol producer for the isoflavones to turn into equol?

Might want to check this link:

Taking equol directly.

Soy insoflavones did jack squat for me btw

have you tried soy + capsaicin?
Soy by itself wont have any effect probably.

I'm VERY interested in folexen, has anybody tried it?
I'd take at least 6 months supply to see some results.

I'll continue using soy and chili peppers and also drinking at least a litre of green tea daily.
Just in case it works.

anything new to report? I love all sorts of peppers in food so I consume a considerable amount already, but when I take in too much on a daily basis stomachaches are imminent so i wonder if taking it in a capsule would change anything.

More importantly though, wouldn't taking soy cause the same side effects as FIn since the science behind this method is based on the reduction of DHT and that is what causes all the side effects from FIN?

Anyone whom previously stopped Fin due to sides have started to take capsaicin +isoflavones and not experience any sides?

Hi,
I'm 4.5 months in, nothing major yet to report.
I'm taking 1 soy isoflavone pill (750 mg isoflavones - 3% - so basically around 23 mg pure isoflavones) + drinking around 2-3 glasses of soy milk + eating 4, 5 small chili peppers and using tabasco on all my food.

I think thats plenty of both ingredients.

I hope to see thickening of existing hairs or some new growth as studies showed.

No side effects.
Still horny as hell.

If this is about reducing DHT, and youre not 100% sure if youre on the right path...why not check your hormone levels at baseline and after 3 months? Then you'll know youre doing something right...or horribly wrong...

well, good point - but i didn't do it 5 months ago, its maybe futile now. the change has been made.
someone else can try it?
