Trx2?

will do, i hope this works out for my hairline!

Fingers crossed, I need help their mainly too..

is 400-500 mg daily big enough dose of curcumin?

it should suffice, ive read people taking 500mg per day for hair loss. But ive also read about absorbtion issues about curcumin. But then again ive read that there are no absorbtion issues...its all contradictory.

personally i will be taking 500mg per day, i may up this slowly to 1000mg.

That's interesting news about the cox-2 inhibitors, I was taking some super bio curcumin a while ago along with resveratrol but was not aware of the cox-2 mechanism you've mentioned. I knew it was supposed to reduce inflammatory responses, but I stopped taking both as I suspected they were making me light headed.
I might start up on the curcumin again since I've got quite a few pots of it remaining. The super bio stuff is supposed to be quickly absorbed and stay in the blood for a few days if I remember correctly, so I'll take it every other day and for the days inbetween I've got some turmeric caps to keep me topped up and spread the cost. The super bio stuff is not cheap but the basic turmeric caps are very cheap.

yeah, ive read the super bio curcumin is supposed to be aborbed better, but i cant seem to find a source for that in the uk.
The meriva brand of curcumin is also supposed to be absorbed better too.

Off Topic, but opinions on Toppik please? I've got longish but not as long as AgainstThis style hair. Crown thinning slightly and hairline retreating thanks to Minox.
Anyway, is it effective? Addictive? Worth the expense?
Is it likely to stain a pillow after a night with a woman etc?!

[doke]

hi jc i think topik i do not think it stains the covers like the old spray ons did there is another product called super million hair which is worth a look although i have never tried them i was considering having a go.
I think the product you shake over the scalp like a pepper pot of fine fibres that seem to make minature hairs look like thick hair.

[Jcm800]

Hi Doke, yeah have seen vids on you tube, the change is miraculous-just curious how practical those kind of products are in everyday life. And think one could become dependant on it as well?!

[doke]

yeh the vids seem impressive so good to cover a balding area, and i saw super million they poured water from a watering can over this guys head and it was still ok hahaha but it is something we can use now and then.
I think you have to buy a hair type spray with it to hold bond to existing hair.

inhibiting cox-2 should automatically reduce pgd2 and set the motion for beneficial prostglandins to take course.

wrong. It would also reduce "good" prostaglandins so you won't win anything by taking COX-2 inhibitors...

the beneficial "good" prostglandins also turn out to be contradictory, they may not be so beneficial after all.
anyway we're second guessing here so im going to try it out based on a single previous experience i had.

uhm then what's responsible for hair growth? Those two prostaglandins are definitely work towards growing hair. No need to block them.

Elevated COX-2 would actually increase PGD2, but I don't think that that's the case here and that's what causes MPB...

he's suggesting you lower COX2.. he's not arguing for elevated levels of it...?

AgainstThis-what's the latest? Things still on the up?

hows it going for you jc??

[Jcm800]

Not very well at the moment frankly. Shedding like a dog, worst I've ever experienced I think. Even if I tug the rear lower hairline I'm pulling hairs out-wondering if it's the MSM doing that?! Or just a seasonal heavier than usual shed..
