    Blocking dht is really not neccassary here. This combo blocks what dht initiates further along the pathway, hence why there is NO need to block dht.
    This reminds me of how the toco thread started

    Can you post pics?

      Sorry if this was already said, but the reason for the MSM is as a source of dietary sulfur, right? Why would garlic work in a way opposite MSM then? Garlic is awesome for that. How long did you give it to see results? Could the shed not have been unrelated and/or caused by another variable?

      And as a side note, curcumin (or I'd say whole turmeric, really) is just plain too good for your body to not take, in my opinion.

        This seems like one of the best MSM products I have seen online in terms of cost and dosage.

        Higher Nature offer an extensive range of effective, therapeutic supplements for men, women, teens & children, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics and omegas.


        If you click the label tab and move the cursor over the ingedients part of the label you can get a good run down on whats in each tablet.

        Do you think its good value Gutted in terms of giving you the purest MSM available?

          toco8 efficacy probably comes from blocking the AR receptor directly. I have tried it in the past for 6 months, i didnt recognise any benefit to it what so ever apart from sexual sides, and i am highly observationally aware when it comes to hair.

          As for the pics i wouldnt post them on an open forum. Even then you cant tell the between the difference from the before and after photo, due to angle irregularities and density cant be seen easily via an aerial photograph unless you were pretty severeley diffuse in the before photograph. All i can say is try it as directed and im pretty sure you will notice benefits.

            Yes the sulphur is the key component of garlic and taken with vitc pretty much has the same effct as msm but it also contains other compounds to it which may have other oppossite effects im not sure of and which i probably did experience from the AGE. In fact taking raw galric initially was i how i discovered the importance of sulphur.

            As for curcumin, yes the studies are there and a great addition for other health reasons but for hair i really cant reccomend it. Dont use it with the combo.

            Im pretty sure it was the kyolic AGE/curcumin that i was taking that induced a shed, im not sure why. To me shedding is a bad thing regardless of what you might believe. With msm/vitc/trx2 you will not experience any sort of shed.

            You can use a myriad of supplements that have some studies to suggest they combat mpb but the fact is using all those supplments is not only slightley incovenient but also probably pretty expensive.
            MSM/vitc is pretty much a cost effective way of stopping mpb.

              You should really use one with "optimsm" and its good value.

                If you are maintaining , then that is good enough.

                And I have experienced no sides since taking toco, if anything my labido has gone through the roof.

                  yeh maintenance is good,but reversal is better

                  Your libido going through the roof implies upregulation of some sort. Hence using it with the combo, efficacy will be affected.

                          quite possibly that or AR upregulation.
                          The only component in toco8 that could affect androgen balance is beta sis, and its at minute levels, imagine how fin affects androgen balance!

                              Guys, is this safe for oral use or is it just a chemical that is used to produce a oral-safe version of MSM?
