Been on Tocomin Suprabio pills at 2x per day for about 5 days now. Decidedly going to switch to Toco 8 for a while, starting tonight at 1 scoop per day.Comment

Bit the bullet and bought Toco8 from ProSource.net
I would have preferred if Amazon had it, or some place local but whatever. I think being such a unique product it will probably not find its way to Amazon or elsewhere any time soon.
Even after looking at toco-sorbs ingredients more closely i see its not a complete Vitamin E complex - its only the alpha tocopherol and then the 4 -trienols whereas Toco8 is the complete, all 8.
So while doing 2 toco-sorbs gets the equivalent -trienol dose, its still missing the other 3 -pherols and thus is not actually equivalent at half the dose.Comment

Interesting. Nothing going with the suprabio? I think Toco 8 is probably the safest bet. Keep us updated as the weeks roll on.Comment

Just a note.
According to the study, it's the -TRIENOLS we want for our hair, not the -PHEROLS (not that they're harmful or anything) but the one and only study we've got, participants took tocotrienols and that point was made particularly clear.
That being said, I'm starting on LifeExtension's Super Absorbable Tocotrienols thing next month. They marketed it after the study was published, so hey, it's worth a desperate shotComment

This is essentially a vitamin supplement.Comment

Whether those other 3 -pherols have much impact is a complete unknown.
It seems only Toco8 has all 8 - hence the name!Comment

Err tks but I'm quite aware of that! Can't say I've noticed any increase in zest at all so far, anyway early days-not expecting fireworks anywhere down the line tbh.Comment

Just a small update from me:
I ordered 6 bottles of toco sorb from swanson, and we'll see how it goes.
I read a bit about it on body building forums - and those guys there dont know to read the signals at all! Meaning - most of them on toco8/toco sorb/toco whateva experiences CRAWLING or TINGLING sensation on the scalp - and they got scared, figured it was a bad sign and stopped using!
Terrible mistake in judgement.
I recently had a hair transplant and right about now I'm feeling those exact sensations - meaning new/stronger hair is popping out (I can see it in the mirror).
Ps, since I'm using 2 liters of green tea daily+beer yeast+saw palmetto+iron+vitamin E+eating lot of fruit and fish combo - I see more "white hair" growing where there was none, or it was extremely small, I'm wondering how to "turn" it to dark hair again...
We'll see what happens with toco.
Pps
I also noticed (now this could be false - I dont know) that when I used to do push ups with feet vertically over my head - I had less hair shedding!
I recently started doing that again, maybe the blood "spills" over follicules like water on the plant root, feeding it somewhat.
But this is just guessing.
I'll keep you updated on toco situation.Comment

I know, but I read on those BB forums that people who experienced tingling/crawling sensation also used toco-sorb, it didn't happen just with toco-8, and the problem for me with toco-8, it's much harder to find online someone who ships it to my mediterranean country, it's more expensive (even considering I'll be taking 2 toco sorb pills daily), and quite honestly I don't believe it's so much less effective than toco-8.
But we'll see, if I don't experience so much effects in 6 months as you guys on toco-8, I'll switch.
And to be clear on tingling sensation on the scalp - IT'S POSITIVE!
So guys, if you experience it while using toco - write about it here.Comment

I'm going thru a shed-now whether this is seasonal or Minox induced I don't know. It's been noticeable since taking this stuff tho. Oh bizarre as it may seem having only been on this a week now, my stubble after a shave is coming thru quicker than usual, anyway that's all I can say at the moment.Comment
