Hidden Gem -> MSM/Vit C & TRX2 - a fin alternative?

[clandestine]

Stop wasting your time.. If you can't tolerate fin, get on sitosterol based topicals, Keratene, RU or something else proven.

Benzzro was on Finas b4 this combo if I remember correctly, which is relevant to put in the equation.

For like 2 months lol, .25 a day. Wasn't shedding hairs anyway, hair was only thinning slowly. After stopping nothing changed and still continue to thin slowly, still no shedding. Pretty sure gutted will say any excuse just to make his theory seem plausible. Don't worry I'll still stay on this combo and give an update in a few months.

Sorry to hear that bro.
I really don't know what to say, it works on some people, it doesnt on others.
I'm just hoping it will at least buy me some time until either histogen or aderans come out or I decide to go to nigams... We'll see.

About 5 months in. Using nothing else other then this regimine. Crown looks worse, possible bald spot coming In . Hair on top is turning very slightly brownish which means my hair is definitely going thinner. Itch comes and goes, sometimes at night I get a crazy itch which won't go away until I scratch, but overall itch has probably gotten maybe 20% better. Didn't expect much from this combo anyway, knew it was going to fail when gutted said it would work for everyone when he's only tested it on himself (lol). Still going to continue it just because of health benifits.

Hi,

it's almost 6 months for me. Itch is REALLY low (I'd say 1-2/10), no sebum/oil, I'm really pleased. MPB hasn't progressed for sure as far as I can tell. I used to be itchy as hell and have like 1-2 mm thick layer of grease on my scalp - it's all gone!
(I wish I found about msm 5 years ago)

Anyways, I'm gonna give a big review on 1 year mark, so far so good. There is one thing clearly showing something good is going on - i used to wake each day thinking about MPB, this and other forums, and now 3-5 days pass and I don't even think about it, because I dont feel the symptoms.

Anyone got any updates on this regime? I havent got any positive ones so far sadly myself.

[sizzlinghairs]

This is true for steroids in general. The drs I spoke to tho said it
Is such a small % (1%), and is the weakest steroid available (hence being OTC) that it is ok for long term use. But I still would use caution with long term use. Thats why I say try daily/every other day for 4-5 months then do maybe 3 x week.

I don't think Hydrocortizone is very healthy for long term use, so be careful with that.

[sizzlinghairs]

So u r a disbeliever in the new pgd2 study findings?

[Cob984]

appreciate the input sizzling but i refuse to dump random stuff on my head thats not going to fight dht, at least for now,
im doing relatively well right now with the keratene capsules, if i have to come off those for whatever reason ill look elsewhere

[sizzlinghairs]

Nothing like "holy f*ck my hair sprotin everywhere!" but I am pretty confident it will help really slow ur loss w/o any side effects. I believe thats worth it

[Jcm800]

What results are you seeing from this sizzling? Anything noticeable?

[sizzlinghairs]

jcm/cob as well as other people still losing, I urge you to try my complimentary advice of trying a 1% over the counter hydrocortisone (preferably the medium of scalpicin and not a lotion/cream). Use it on your scalp daily for 4-5 months and report back to tell us if shedding has stopped or positive things are happening.

Hyrdocortisone is a proven PGD2 inhibitor as well as a general anti-inflammatory. Studies across the board have shown it 100% of the time increases the results when used with minox, versus just using minox alone.
----one hundred percent of the time---- guys.

Only warning is that if you are susceptible to cataracts or glaucoma you shouldnt use it. Other than that I have asked my doctors, derm and opthamologist, if its ok to use long term and they have said yes.

Honestly, what have you got to lose people? Try it for 4-5 months, everyday, and let me know your results.

[Jcm800]

Thanks Jcm ))) qualified opinion...as far as i'm aware you just participating in discussions but aren't on yourself...

You can tell me the sky is blue and I'd doubt it. Just the way it is.
