so apparently Vitamin E reduces the number of androgen receptors in your prostate... is it possible that it does the same for your scalp and could that be the reason why that toco-8 study was so successful in terms of regrowing/maintaining hair?

i knew i had some sort of side effects from this, could it possibly be, because of this??

What side effects did you have?

i really cant be sure, but it could be possible, that with this combined with another product i expereinced sexual sides...again, im not sure about this.

I see. What other product were you using?

I see. What other product were you using?

inneov homme - it contains phytosterols, so that could be another reason as to why i was experiencing the sides. But i think its most likley the inneov, i cant be totally sure though.

Just wanted to update, been taking toco 8 since around the 20th last month, for what will be almost 20 days now. One scoop, 630mg, at night.

This, obviously, is not a long enough period of time to determine efficacy. But, I'll be in this for the long haul.

Some days my hair seems better than others, I just try to deal with what I've got, receded temples and all. I'm using nanogen fibres for those problem areas; strongly recommend, for those interested.

Only other product I'm using is Revita Shampoo from DS Labs as an anti-androgen for the scalp.

Oh! And I'm quitting smoking, gradually. Hopefully this will be beneficial for my hair as well, reducing oxidative stress and all.

why aren't you on fin again?

why aren't you on fin again?

I've had sexual side effects in the past when I was taking SSRI's for anxiety and depression. I've also encountered performance anxiety previously in my sex life, something I've had to conquer. Also, I'm dealing with hair loss at a young age. This gives me less incentive to want take hormone-altering drugs.

As you can imagine, I have reason to be cautious when deciding to take medication with potential sexual sides. I've considered taking fin, but it's more of a cost (read: potential risk) vs benefit debate in my mind at this point.

I thought I'd give you guys an update, been taking toco whilst starting a exercise regime. Its been a week.

I am not shedding very much. Yesterday when I washed my hair, I didn't shed any hair. I normally have 20 strands on my fingers, but I didn't notice any.

My hair is pretty thick,with slight receeded temples 'mature hairline'. So i would be happy with maintainence.

Clandestine how is revita? I used that, it hurt my hair.

how long have you been on it? also do you have any itching on your scalp.

[Jcm800]

I've been personally on Toco caps around three weeks and have no itching or any other benefit that I can notice. I do notice more hair fall than usual in that time tho.

intresting, do you use the minox foam or the solution?

For me it has been great so far. Hair seems healthy. I enjoy the texture it leaves my hair, smells nice. Seems to create a healthy scalp environment.

How has it hurt your hair?
