    As for you itch, as soon as the oil output is reduced, you should see a reduction in itch, so long as you are not taking any androgen inhibitors. They work against what you are trying to achieve.

    Also bear in mind, everyone has a bit of itch here and there, but the mpb itch is a very deep itch, you need to be able to differntiate between the two.

    Ok, thanks. It's probably the synergy with vitamin C they overlooked.
    About my itch... there is less of it, and it's not strong, meaning I don't have to scratch it right away, it's not deep, so I guess it's working.

    Finding less "oil" on my scalp is important to me, meaning - something is working.

    Thanks, I'll keep you posted.

      it could be, although i would give it a solid 2/3 months on it before making any judgement on the itch.

      watch your nails/hair grow faster too, this should imply the msm is being correctly absorbed.

        Gutted - how do you know it is not the trx 2 that is helping you?

        Is vit c and msm alone proven to be an effective treatment

          few hours later.
          MSM - 9 grams together WITH 4 grams vit c capsules.
          How do you get 9 grams of MSM, isnt that like 6 capsules?

            i think i answered that question earlier in the thread.

            When i was on a consistent regime of trx2, i just so happened to use msm and vit c on and off for other reasons around the same time. When i would drop the msm/vitc, i noticed my scalp would start itching and get oily whilst still on the trx2 regime. although trx2 does help bring back hairs, it doesnt stop the process. Hence why i think msm/vitc alone is enough to stop and with trx2 to regrow.

            no msm/vitc is not a proven treatment. Im just documenting an anecdotal experience. Although the studies do seem to indicate it can help hair in one way or another, but nothing proven in a clinical setting.

            It doesnt take long to notice if it will help you like with fin/minox - the results timeline is availabe in the first few pages. It can help reduce oil secretion within 3/6 weeks providing your not on or have come off any other hormone altering drug.

              yeah 6 x 1500mg.

              6 grams may be enough.

                @ Gutted, not using fin so that is not a possibility. It might just be the MSM making my hair more soft which I dont have a problem with.

                I will continue to take/evaluate.

                Another question. I take only 1 g of vit c and 6 g of MSM. Is this enough you think? 1 day I did get in 9 but its a lot of pills to take.. (you said you take 9 all at once right?)

                    im sure i recollect you saying you were on fin or dut in the trx2 thread sizzling?

                    what is your regime?

                    yeh 6 grams should be enough with 1 gram vit c. Yeh i take 9 grams MSM/1 to 4 grams vit c.

                      9 grams of MSM is safe to use?

                            i think thats your problem. I also used this if you remember i posted in the trx2 thread, and also noticed sides with this, although i was on sp too. But it wont surprise me, since it is related to keto.

                              Best thing I've done lately is dropping keto, haven't had any inflamed bumps on my crown since doing so.

                                this or the next month is when your regime really starts. give it 3/6 months and update.
