Tocotrienol (vitamin E) may reverse male pattern baldness

[bananana]

Deffo seeing accelerated eyebrow growth here anyway. Pubes have a bushier feel too for anyone interested lol.

Hahaha Lol.
Good thing - something is happening!
Remember - patience is the key, you'll need to use it for at least 5 months to see the real change. Interesting that some body builders who used it for a few years said it stopped their MPB dead and keeps it that way.

Ok - two weeks on my LifeExtension's Super Absorbable Tocotrienols capsules. I've been shedding more than i'm used to in that period - most likely coincidental and seasonal tho.

I was wondering whether a shed would be a result of taking it.

If it truly has an effect, it likely would exhibit the same kind of initial signs as any other regiment - meaning, to allow a stronger hair to grow, it'll have to kick out the weaker first.

I can't say for sure - i'm on Minox too, been on it about ten month's, had a terrible shed during the first month or so - and since then nothing drastic. Seem's odd that i'm losing hair again now - unless it's natural progression, can't be sure.

Maybe relevant to Tocotrienol discussion due to vitamin E link - after finding out sunflower seeds were good for cholesterol control and said to help with hair growth I've been eating them by the "bucket load" for about 5 months. About 3 months into eating a pack a day (125g) I have noticed that my remaining hair (very few - I'm a NW6/7) have become much thicker. I shave my head completely so any small changes are easily seen/felt. The remaining hairs can now be seen at a distance and can be felt after a few days of shaving. This wasn't the case before eating the sunflower seeds as the hair was very thin and soft even when growing back in after a shave. I have also noticed two vellus hairs growing to around 2mm in areas that have only had very short, almost invisible, vellus hairs for 20+ years. Never seen this before and may not seem like a big deal but I am very proud of them!

Just wanted to say that 125 g DAILY is an INSANE amount!
Usually they're used as bird food, and as such 1 kg costs around 2 euros or $3, for humans I think price goes up, because they're like non GMO etc..

So that means you ate 4 kg monthly! (that is A LOT.)
It's not that they're expensive or anything, I'm just wondering how big is a "normal" dose, enough to feel some results?
I read they're really healthy (In addition to linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid), sunflower seeds are also an excellent source of dietary fiber, some amino acids (especially tryptophan), Vitamin E, B Vitamins (especially vitamin B1 or thiamine, vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid and folate), and minerals such as copper, manganese, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, selenium, calcium and zinc.[4] Additionally, they are rich in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols)

I'm wondering also - that vitamin E in seeds - in which form is it?
I bought 200 g today, and that's a big bag of them. I think it's gonna last me at least a week, or I'm gonna turn into a bird.

Well-if you don't grow any hair I think you'll grow some feathers

hahahaha, good one!

Think about it - isn't it ironic?
We actually feed animals way better and healthier then we feed ourselves.

Just a few months ago each and every night I went to the city or out I would end up on kebab, in KFC, or McD... TERRIBLE!
I'm definitely over with that lifestyle - I think that was ruining my health (and hair probably), now I've lost more than 8 kg (16 pounds) and I feel (and look) better than ever!

Funny you should say that - I was just the same, ate all the crap you just mentioned and a small bottle of coke a day. Knocked it all on the head these last two weeks, smoking is next on the hit list for me.

Uf, coke is the worst shit ever!
I've read numerous studies stating people who drank coke regularly have like 5 times weaker bones than others and other defects. I drank it like few times in a year (ironically - mostly when I was in McD )

Since I've started eating vegetables and fruit I feel 10 times better, and people notice the difference. You should really quit smoking, I know it's extremely hard, but you'll be well off without it.

Regarding smoking, quit it for your hair, man. Smoking restricts capillaries. I'm in the same boat, currently. Quitting except for celebratory occasions.

Yeah I hear you-damned hard tho when I get down and see more hair going down the plug hole-a cig gives a moments release. I'm gonna quit again tho regardless of hair benefits it's screwing me up slolwly but surely.

I feel you man, cravings are rough for sure. I've got the same mentality; why me? **** it, bogue. Chill. But we should do all we can to reduce oxidative stress.

I quit for three months last year and only started again for comfort. But you're right-we can't afford screw with our health, gotta keep that blood flowing in all regions

Ok, I'm noticing small bumps that are tender to touch on my head. Main one is off my crown, there's only about three in all. Don't know if they're connected to taking this stuff. Had similar bumps when I was on Trx2 as well.
Again might just be scalp inflammation that'd occur regardless.

Jc, you need to stop the smoking. Smoking plays a very big factor on hairloss too. Any treatment you start will not yeild you anything unless the smoking is stopped.
