    Of course, it's very hard to get reliable information on the internet. No doubt Merck will have salesmen on the web trying to rubbish TRX2, because it will further threaten sales of their chancer product Propecia. Also, TRX2 doesn't seem to be particularly well run outside of the lab.
    I don't care if Stephen Hawking is behind it. Potassium, L-carnitine, BCAA and Nicotinic Acid will not give you regrowth.

      Looks like someone didn`t do their homework.

      What you failed to mention is the key to TRX2: "Propriety Potassium channel-stimulating complex". Certainly not the same as potassium though TRX2 does also contain potassium. Minoxidil is in fact a type of potassium channel opener.

      There are also peer reviewed studies showing the correlation of potassium channels and hair growth. A few abstracts below.



      When an Oxford bio-chemist being backed by two credible organizations says he`s found an effective potassium stimulating complex we can only hope he`s not a charlatan. He may be but at least we know the basic science has scientific precedent. That`s the risk I`m willing to take. And please people, for the sake of the board do some due diligence before posting.

        And just for the record, studies have also shown L-carnitine can aid hair growth.

            Although ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel openers, e.g., minoxidil and diazoxide, can induce hair growth, their mechanisms require clarification. Improved drugs are needed clinically. but the absence of a good bioassay hampers research. K(ATP) channels from various tissues contain subtypes o …

            Ok genius

            Im dying to see what his potassium stimulating complex is, because apparently its not a drug.

                      Indeed just what is this potassium stimulating complex made of and how well does it work? These are the million (maybe billion) dollar questions.

                      We know there is real science linking potassium channel activity to hair growth. We know the man behind this is a biochemist from Oxford. We know he is being backed by two reputable organizations. For me, that`s enough to offset the fact that as of yet no photos have been revealed. The testimonies don`t hurt either although testimonies could be fabricated. Still, I think it premature given what we know to call this product another scam. On the same token we cant say at present if it will work either. The point is to wait and see.

                        Agreed, this is the claim I am highly skeptical about. I was annoyed they didn't disclose what it was on their website, but then again that might only increase their credibility. This product will either be something incredible or a complete bust. I am assigning a 75% probability to the later.

                                I still have a lot of reservations about this. From what I can tell the product is a vitamin supplement, and it is hard to imagine how that alone could significantly reverse genetic hair loss.

                                Furthermore, where is the hard evidence that the product works? Photographs? Hair counts? All they have on their website so far are four subjective patient testimonials, and even those suggest the product's benefits are more limited than what has been claimed elsewhere.

                                I agree photographs can be easily manipulated, and even some of the well-known scam products have convincing before and after pictures on their websites. Still, it is possible to take pictures under controlled conditions to show whether the product yields a significant cosmetic result. Some kind of objective hair count would be further verification to me that the product yields actual results, as photographic improvements can always be the results of lighting, hair length, styling differences, etc.

                                Another thing that bothers me is that the TRX2 website asks people to pay them for priority consideration for the clinical studies that they say they will be conducting. That seems unscientific. Study participants should be compensated for their participation, not the other way around.
