Trx2?

I have no idea why you all try these phony products...do your research and you may get results but from a multifaceted approach: ie, topicals, dermarolling, supplements, dandruff shampoos (yes) but not ONE phony product. We might get results from several products right now rather than ONE item.

A few ideas that many may poo poo but fine: Selenium shampoo left on the scalp for 10-15 minutes, Niacin at bedtime, castor oil, etc. Do some research but will say again I believe for what it is worth, that several approaches will slow or stop your hair loss and in some cases lead to new hair growth. PGD2 is the bad guy and my suggestions may address this...the crap people are marketing is where you lose money and hair. (these are my opinions from my research)

Bosox you may be right....but why not use an anti dandruff shampoo? (Selenium Sulfide 2.5% or Ketoconazole 2% or Salicylic Acid 2%/Sulfur 2% such as Jason Dandruff Relief)
These antifungal shampoos have reduced my hair loss to nothing. It has been 7 months now and after one year I will post my results. No pics just my observations.

The first 2 shampoos I obtained from a dermatologist, the other I bought on line.

After using TRX2 diligently for 6 years, I have decided to call it quits. I’ve just cancelled my membership with them to receive regular bottles of these seemingly (for me) useless capsules. My hair is much much thinner and balding on top than when I started. I feel like I’ve wasted my time and money on this stuff. I should have listened to those forum members who were calling it out as snake oil. I will never know if it slowed my baldness but it seems unlikely. I was hoping for at least a cessation of hair loss. It hasn’t even done that!

Anyway, I have just decided to give up now and will probably just shave it all off soon. I’m 41 now. My dad is bald on top. His dad was too. My grandad on my mum’s side had a lovely full set of hair into old age. I was hoping his hair genes could have ended up in me; obviously not.

Oh man that's rough. Using it for 6 years...damn. I used this shit when it first came out, and saw this thread had been bumped and chuckled. Have spent so much cash and hope on these shitty scams.

Not to say there aren't people who have had sides with fin but it's blown out of proportion. Im back on fin after a 5 year break and im pissed that I ever dropped it.

My advice would be to check out the H and W topical fin. Use that (even sparingly if you notice any bad effects) until the next proven treatment comes out.

Theres also no treatment coming soon. Its all bullshit. Wr have 3 options only - minoxi, propecia and hair transplant. There arent even treatments in phase 3 trials. Its a joke

I feel the same, I'm tired of this bs.

I started this topic 6 years ago. If I knew we wouldn't have anything 6 years later, I probably would have jumped off a cliff. Here we are, with nothing. My God, this is depressing.

i guess we all have to make a peace with it and let it settle in like Desmond did...
I see only Hellouser been active in other forums. all the big guns already left these forums. and now is filled with newbies asking exciting questions about follicept..
I just feel we fall into the same loop over and over again. and it seems to be no exit!!!

[champpy]

Ahh, but just wait, within the next 5 to 10 yrs from now.....

Wow...this is thread is crazy long.

I saw that they got some new TRX2 products: http://www.trx2.com/

Did anyone have these in their hands so far? Would be great to hear if it was any good.

[Swooping]

Haha! I'll buy all the products you model for!

TRX2 was before my time on this forum, so I am not that familiar with the details, but from skimming a few of the posts I can tell there are a few similarities. I think it is a good cautionary tale. Still, follicept do not strike me as being in the same category.

Here is mye prediction for what is going to happen:
The follicept trial will be disappointing and inconclusive and we will see vague reports with things like "I think my shedding has slowed", "I think I see some vellus hair" etc. But when this happens, follicept will stay true to their word and they will not sell it. Instead they will use their vehicle with another growth stimulant in a new test. Maybe they will make a deal with some other company, like the ones who are developing CB-03-01 who had some dosage/vehicle problems.


But... I hope I am wrong.

Ehm... CB-03-01 is a small molecule and isn't hydrophilic. So why would it have troubles penetrating?

Highly unlikely. I'll take that as a "Yes, it is possible". ; )

Let me ask you this: do you believe that it is impossible that they really are honest and well-meaning and that their website is full of bravado simply because they are confident that it will work (even if that confidence is misguided)? I know you certainly don't think so, but is it impossible?

That's highly unlikely. Why would they even start a forum for example, before they actually even know their product works? That would then make no sense at all. If they were honest people, they'd verify themselves first if their product works. And if it REALLY works, then the whole world will know anyway: every dermatologist in the whole world will know their name. IF it worked, then who cares about a forum ?

Also, if they were really interested to find out if their product works, wouldn't it then be incredibly stupid to set up the trial like they currently have? Without tricho, without tattoo's, etc. There's just NO WAY they could objectively find out it worked, unless the results are like 5x better than minox. But a product that could compete with minox in terms of effectiveness, without the sides would be gold already. However that would be impossible to deduce from their current trials. So they're either then incredible stupid or they have other intentions....

[TheUltimatePoet]

It's the whole way Follicept has been presenting themselves. Big marketing talk on their website without even having tried their product on humans. And then there's the fact that IGF-1 failed in humans, via injections. So of course this won't work, it's been tried before and failed. That whole argument about their vehicle is nonsense, at best it can spread it out a bit more evenly than injections but injections didnt even grow hair at the injection site. So there's 0 hope for this to work.

AGA is really complicated and there's just no way it can be solved by something as simple as administering a single growthfactor. It's been tried years ago already. Then that whole marketing campaign, the big talk, the forum on their website, the trial without control, without temp tattoo's without trichoscan, it's quite obvious why they're all doing that. If you can't see that, you have a LOT to learn about how things work in the world of hairloss products ...

Let me ask you this: do you believe that it is impossible that they really are honest and well-meaning and that their website is full of bravado simply because they are confident that it will work (even if that confidence is misguided)? I know you certainly don't think so, but is it impossible?
