Tocotrienol (vitamin E) may reverse male pattern baldness

[StressedToTheBald]

I might have found a link between high doses of vitamin E working as a blocker of androgen receptors in our hairs, I've posted here and would appreciate Your thoughts regarding the theory..

I'd like to believe that, but you're quoting this forum as your source...

Supposedly some doctors actually prescribe high doses of vitamin E to treat gynecomastia. Read the example here:

So, I highly doubt that Your problem can be caused by vitamin E.
You should check the other stuff, something else You're using might be causing it.

Yeah I read that last night after I posted, so I doubt it could come from tocomin.

I'm most likely overreacting. Again it's not like these pictures on google of guys walking around that should give Kramer and Frank Costanza a large investment, it's just a little more tissue than I remember having three months ago, even though I've lost weight. Most likely muscle mass lost. When you take stuff you become hypersensitive to any change in your body.

I also was under the impression that propecia would cause man boobs right off the bat, not 6 years down the line.

Conpecia; how goes it mate? Anything to report?

[Conpecia]

Unfortunately I've had some health issues the past couple weeks and have had to discontinue all treatments, including the tocomin, though it's very unlikely that the tocomin was causing anything. As soon as I'm feeling better I'll restart the 8 month experiment. Sorry to all who were waiting on results, but I've got to figure out what's going on with my health first. I'll update again once I'm cleared of all symptoms.

conpecia, which toco vitamins were you using? If it's toco-sorb or anything that is NOT REAL PATENTED TOCO-8, you are wasting time...

[Conpecia]

I was using a different brand and yes there was that issue of it not being toco-8 but in the week or two I took it I definitely grew new hair on my chest and seemed to be getting bumps on my temples indicating that something was going on. I think the key factor is that the product should be tocomin suprabio and nothing else but again I may be wrong. One of the things I was testing for was to see if that was the case or if you actually needed toco 8 but alas I have to wait until I get healed up to have a definitive answer for you guys.

What else was included in Your treatment besides tocomin ?

[Conpecia]

Propecia, Nizoral shampoo. Been on the Propecia for about 5 years. Nizoral about 4 months. Waiting for lab results from the doc.

Please update us once the results are out, my bet would be on propecia..

Variety of possible Propecia side effects:

"Side effects of finasteride include impotence (1.1% to 18.5%), abnormal ejaculation (7.2%), decreased ejaculatory volume (0.9% to 2.8%), abnormal sexual function (2.5%), gynecomastia (2.2%), erectile dysfunction (1.3%), ejaculation disorder (1.2%) and testicular pain... The PPI also states that patients have reported persisting erectile dysfunction despite discontinuing the drug. In December 2010, Merck added depression as a side effect of finasteride.[6]"

why do you go around scaring people about taking propecia....I already explained to you the reason some people get "persisting" effects.

Propecia is a safe drug. Can you name another PRESCRIPTION drug with less side effects?

[AgainstThis]

Yeah, it's safe, that's why they took propecia.com down and are losing lawsuits left and right.

Get with the program Harrisson. Propecia was cool back when it was launched as the MIRACLE PILL but the cat was out of the bag soon enough.

It makes no sense that people in 2012 are still on that man-poison.

Propecia is rather helpful for those who don't have incidence of sides actually.

But let's keep the discussion oriented towards tocotrienols. I've ordered some in hopes of testing efficacy. I will start taking daily as soon as they arrive.
