Tocotrienol (vitamin E) may reverse male pattern baldness

[yeahyeahyeah]

can someone input into this. i genuinely believe that toco-8 is working at reducing DHT - my head stops itching when i take it and my libido sinks. but literate suggests otherwise...

opposite has happened to me.

Has to be placebo for you.

Yes, I'm also taking propecia, well the BIG 3, emu oil, toco8, folligen cream/spray, and Spiro 5%. I want to take RU and RB, but I heard from jazz that it kill his penis. So, Idk I guess it depends how your body takes it. So far, my body is taking it pretty swell lol I never heard of Toco 8 affecting your penis, really odd.

eh, where did you read that? Toco-Sorb and Toco-8 use the exact same SupraBio Toco-Min complex. Toco-Sorb is also not all 8 parts of the Vitamin E chain, hence Toco8's name. It only contains the highly available form of Vitamin E. When you see things advertised with Vitamin E they are talking about alpha-tocopherol only.

I heard it from bodybuilding.com that Toco8 its not the same has it was when it came out. I should of saved the link, the guy came up with actual facts. That tocosorb, absorbs it better and it contains other great ingredients. It may be BS but it was a lot cheaper then toco8, the other reason why I switch.

Going to switch to tocosorb because its more potent.

so toco-8 has me confused:

im reading in places that it's ingredients reduct testosterone and DHT - yet on their site it talks about increasing testosterone?

all i know is it's culled my sex drive and my knob is not as full as it was 3 weeks ago.

its the only thing im taking atm.

waiting for RU + KB solution

in effect whats good for your hair/head is bad for your knob and libido?

I've been taking toco-8 over a month and nothing, on my second tub, halway done. Going to switch to tocosorb because its more potent. Your penis problem is probably from other meds you take.

you should mention that your on propecia...this potently upregulates the receptors so any decrease in sex drive from the beta sis in the toco will be offset and you will not notice any "sides"

[freddiegemini]

Haaaa yes.

Not sure i get the 'haaaa yes.' Explain?

I'll come off it and see if my sex drive and dick health goes back up. Guarantee if it does my head will start to itch again!

here is what ive found on toco-8 after 3 weeks use:

- ithching has been stopped / or at least is v.minimal
- i have got a lower libido (40%)
- my dick doesn't feel as full/healthy

no idea why or what is happening. but head feels better - dick feels worse

Haaaa yes.

i'm on no other treatments

maybe high doses of vit e are effecting my androgen/androgen receptor/prostate i dont know but the stuff does do something

I found this about beta sitosterol:

"The effect of beta-sitosterol on sex drive is still under debate. There are some evidence that shows that taking beta-sitosterol supplementation can increase male sex drive and enhance sexual performance. However, there are also contradictory evidence that shows that beta-sitosterol supplements may cause erectile dysfunction. "

yep, this is how it works, the beta sitosterol content blocks the receptor.

Interesting. No further loss is always a good sign...

I stopped taking it several months ago, along with fin and Nizoral. I've lost a good bit on the hairline and temples (never even knew what "temple loss" meant until now, always equated that to hairline recession...). Currently closing in on NW3, and just took my first .25 mg dose of fin yesterday to see if I can take low doses without sides. Thank God no sides to report as of yet. Gonna try .25 once every 3 days and pray I can ride this out until 2015. So far away!! Will probably switch to RU if there are good results on this forum. Equol also still on my radar.

My hair still seems relatively the same. I have been able to lift more when working out though and I have felt more energetic lately.
