Capsaicin and Soy Isoflavones Promote Hair Growth

[dex89]

hi mate,

well - the itch has been lowered by (i'd say) 80-90%, BUT I've started using msm/vitC around 20 days ago (praise gutted for that), so that is probably also related to that.
Prior to msm I did also have a lowered itch, but not to that extent.

Before that I was using equol (from folexen which shut down so we don't even know was it genuine equol), I'll post more updates regularly.

I really believe msm did a big change for me, we'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the reply, did gutted regime alter some hair loss?

[Cob984]

are you going to continue using the soy with the msm?
according to gutted the soy extracts will change hormones and hence negate the msm or something like that

Any updates mate?

Hi guys.

Yup, I'm still doing it. Just the problem is - I dont know how muc capsaicin I'm taking. I spray almost every meal with strong tabasco and I "drink" a few (3, 4) of few small chili peppers with soy or water. (easier than munching them and becoming a dragon).
But I dont know really how much pure capsaicin is there. I presume more than 6 mg.

Also I take soy isoflavones pill daily. It says its 750 mg concentrate that has 3% isoflavones and 3% saponing, therefore - 23 mg isoflavones.
And I drink at least a glass of soy milk, or more.

Effects?
I cant say really - I'd probably
have to cut my hair but I dont want that.

I'm taking 1 soy isoflavone pill (750 mg isoflavones - 3% - so basically around 23 mg pure isoflavones)

I don't get it...if you're taking 750mg isoflavones, how come only 3% of that is pure?

well, good point - but i didn't do it 5 months ago, its maybe futile now. the change has been made.
someone else can try it?

I might be down to try that and post since I haven't started yet on Cap+soy. I may be a good candidate to show the exact effect of this because for now that may be the only thing I add to my current natural regimen.

Update bananana, read that same study and got all excited because I don't want to risk sides with Fin.

[briandesigns]

is there a section on this forum where we can log the supplements/regiments/treatments we are on over time and draw and evaluate results and draw conclusions on them so that we can find the methods that seem to work well?

well if we dont have one I'm certainly gonna start a post like that in 2 weeks where I start my regimen.

[bananana]

good.

sounds like you have your bases covered.

well, I have no choice.

as well as many of us here.

Dude the soy lowers the over production of DHT in your prostate and the spicy increases blood flow. Try to be less horny and certainly do the “deed” less as this will slightly counter act the reducing of the prostate production. Most here think its BS but I don’t good luck.

I know.
I've been doing it too often... I'm trying to quit now, as well as to run/swim/exercise after that, as aerobic exercises lower dht.

Hi,
I'm 4.5 months in, nothing major yet to report.
I'm taking 1 soy isoflavone pill (750 mg isoflavones - 3% - so basically around 23 mg pure isoflavones) + drinking around 2-3 glasses of soy milk + eating 4, 5 small chili peppers and using tabasco on all my food.

I think thats plenty of both ingredients.

I hope to see thickening of existing hairs or some new growth as studies showed.

No side effects.
Still horny as hell.
