    Btw I dropped revivogen and started a new product called Keratene shampoo, google it yourselves, so far good decision,
    my hair looks and feels so much better, iv only used in thrice and looks like its quite potent and i feel slightly bloated but nothing i would stop the product over,
    Im gona use this while praying this msm trx2 combo does it for me internally, atleast now im not worsening, very relieved mentally

            so I started this on Dec 1 with 3g msm/1g vit and will start increasing every week. But in reading up on msm, it is non-toxic(water soluable) because the body takes in what it can and pisses out the rest. It seems taking 9g all at once doesn't make much sense as theres no way the body is absorbing even half of that. Wouldn't it be better to take 3g or so a few times a day so your body has a constant flow of msm to work with?

              I thought exactly that.

              You piss the rest out.

                My thoughts exactly!

                I'm taking 4-5 grams in the morning and 3-4 grams in the evening, thinking of taking 4x 2 grams during the day.

                  This is exactly why I take my vitamins broken up throughout the day. I take some with each meal 3x a day. I wouldn't even consider taking all that at one time it would totally drop kick my stomach.

                    This approach of splitting the msm intakes throughout the day seems to make more sense to me aswell, so iv adopted this. I'm at around 3 months into this combo now, my hair looks pretty good, and I'm finding it harder to see my balding spot on the back of my head with my trusty 2mirror-in-the-bathroom technique haha, but this might just be me imagining things, its also hard to see any changes clearly with long hair. I'm still noticing massive oil reduction, rapid nail growth, among other joint and muscular benefits. Iv started adding MSM to my conditioner for topical use as it can't hurt, seems to make my scalp feel fresh. Right now I'm still shedding a fair amount of hair in the shower each morning though, so I'm hoping this will slow, as right now I'm finding it hard to believe I'm growing as much hair as I'm losing. I'll stick with this though, clinging to hope.
                    Gutted, are things still improving for you? have you dropped the TRX2, and I presume you will be taking this combo forever, or until a real cure comes around? Thanks

                      I'm currently taking 1g of MSM with 1g of vitamin C. This is more to get prepared for my first FUE. I have also been using 5% minoxidil for more than 3 years now. I can't use any DHT inhibitor (not even Nizoral) as I'm very prone to gynecomastia.
                      I'm currently diffuse NW5 with the hairline still intact. I know 1g of each is not much but I'll report if I see any change in my hair status.

                        Gutted is taking them all in one go.

                        So this is good news, it means that we can take less MSM than 9g. Simply because gutted is not getting that much in.

                          guys, been away. not had time to read up on whats going on.

                          anyway to answer your question yes im still on the trx2, i plan on taking trx2 for one more year and then dropping it and maintain what i have with msm/C.

                          As for my hair its improving (diffuse areas filling in), but at a steady slow pace. Im monitoring this every 3 months. Monitoring it on a week by week basis is pointless.

                          I really do believe msm/C is all i need to maintain what i have, even at a lower dosage of 3 grams.

                          all i can advise for those that are following it faithfully is give it time. MSM/C is likley to maintain what you currently have (imo for life), its also possible to provide you with mild regrowth but i cant confirm this. Technically it isnt regrowth - its synchronisation of the hair cycle making it appear as if you have achieved some regrowth.

                            .. Feels like you are over complicating the explanation. Simply put, do you feel this combo with the trx2 can turn vellous hairs terminal?

                                give it TIME bro.

                                I think nothing major is to be seen before at least 6 months. As I said 13 times already in this topic - it does "work" for a bunch of us here, but no regrowth so far.
