    Update:

    I have been missing doses - shedding has increased, found 15 hairs in the shower today. Usually only shed less then 5.

              update - almost 4 months in.

              My beard is growing super strong, my girl and my mom noticed it,
              it's thicker I think, grows faster, massive beard.

              Hair - not so much. I wash hair every 2 or 3 days and shed around 40 hairs.
              I dont se a change in density. I have some very long hairs (for the comparison),
              but I really cant say I see noticeable change. The hairs SEEM a bit thicker right above where they come out of skin, but that can be optical illusion...

              I'm starting folexen soon, then I REALLY hope to see some regrowth.

                Well if you haven't noticed change that means you're at least maintaining right? I'm like 2 months in and noticed a slight decrease in shedding.

                  Well, I hope so. Cant really say for sure.
                  I was shedding more last year for sure.

                  30-40 hair aint so bad for a bit longer hairs.

                  I can really see the beard growing like crazy though.


                  Ps
                  I'm also rubbing olive oil in, at least 3 times weekly, I read it does wonders for sebum etc..

                    I've heard good things about olive oil, I've also heard acv is good.
                    Guess I should also note that I'm using rogaine foam and niz as well, but I noticed the shedding decrease after starting toco8.

                      Good to hear at least some good news about this stuff. I'm about to start Folexen as well. So excited. Bananana, are you in the US?

                        Update:

                        My hair is still the same. Don't feel like I have lost density or anything.

                        Not sure if I can attribute this to toco 8 or the fact that I have extremely mild hairloss.

                          I was thinking this same thing a couple weeks ago.

                          Was it accelerating? Was that why I finally noticed it? Have I slowed it down?

                          No friggin' clue. I think only a long time will tell.

                            My hair still seems relatively the same. I have been able to lift more when working out though and I have felt more energetic lately.

                              Interesting. No further loss is always a good sign...

                              I stopped taking it several months ago, along with fin and Nizoral. I've lost a good bit on the hairline and temples (never even knew what "temple loss" meant until now, always equated that to hairline recession...). Currently closing in on NW3, and just took my first .25 mg dose of fin yesterday to see if I can take low doses without sides. Thank God no sides to report as of yet. Gonna try .25 once every 3 days and pray I can ride this out until 2015. So far away!! Will probably switch to RU if there are good results on this forum. Equol also still on my radar.

                                here is what ive found on toco-8 after 3 weeks use:

                                - ithching has been stopped / or at least is v.minimal
                                - i have got a lower libido (40&#37
                                - my dick doesn't feel as full/healthy

                                no idea why or what is happening. but head feels better - dick feels worse

                                i'm on no other treatments

                                maybe high doses of vit e are effecting my androgen/androgen receptor/prostate i dont know but the stuff does do something
