    10 week update- This product definitely does not work. Still losing hair. The temples have thinned and receded about 1/4th of an inch since I started. Not sure how they can still go on claiming this product regrows your hair on their website. Who are these people that got these results? I'd like to meet them.


    I dont know, reviews are mixed.

        I'm entirely surprised this has so many pages. While having not tried it personally, I don't feel this is a 'Hidden Gem' of any sort.

          You should take into account what I wrote to you, there are more nutrients than MSM and it's kind of stupid to just experiment with one at a time.

            well if I'm itching because of some kind of deficiency, and it is not mpb itch, then MSM/vit (if it works) should stop hair loss, even though I still itch. But I think my hair got worse and therefore I think it is not working. At least not for me.

              I have been on the regime for 3 months and have noticed a difference. The main dif is the redecution in oil and itch . I used to have a bad itch (oily Skin too ) in my MPB regions and that was gone . Probably shed about 30-40 hair s a day and have quite. If a itch reduction definalty means my MPB is slowing down than i am on the right track

                You mean quit right? Very good news if true.

                My itch stopped very soon after getting on this program (2-3 weeks) and is still down, I never really had a problem with oil production. Every now and again I feel a slight itch but I only wash my hair one day a week now, sometimes less, and it put it down to that giving me a slight itch as before it was an itch all day every day. Now I might fell something for a couple of minutes two days a week and its nothing near the level of itch I felt before.

                I still shed but the shed has reduce all over. I remember going to Manchester to watch the UTD vs Spurs match at the end of September and standing in front of the mirror in the hotel with my hair looking terrible, especially my left temple and then I started to see a lot of thinning on my right temple too, so much so I could see parts of scalp, my hair was wet and I had a bit of gel in it too which didn't help. I remember thinking this is it, I'm ****ed, it will be gone soon and to compound my misery Utd lost 2-3 at home

                Gutted started this thread in September and once I came back I started on it as I'm not a fan of drugs suck as minox and fin and wanted a healthy natural solution. My left temple got worse but my right temple got better. Than my left temple got thicker whilst my right temple thinned a bit but now I seem to have a good balance. I still lose hair when showering and brushing but thats normal.

                I think it was early October I started on this program as the UTD game was the 28th or 29th of September but this program and thread is still in its infancy. Most of us early adopters are only on month 4 now and it will take 12 months to know if its works. Some guys are four months but are still using or just recently dropped DHT blockers so the timescale is longer for you.

                My point is that ppl calling it a failure and a joke are wrong in doing that. Some of us have noticed positive signs but none of those ppl have called it and out right success. Its no coincidence that the majority of those claiming this to be a bad program are dropping and adding DHT blockers such as SP in a panic regularly.

                My verdict? Its still too early to tell but I have seen enough positives to encourage me to continue. The itch reduction and what I believe is me entering the reduction in shed phase which would roughly match up with gutted's timeline of events.

                Please note I have been on TRX2 and MSM 9g VitC 4g since day one.

                Its not all positive and here are some bad points. My hair got very thin since starting but it was going to anyway due to my diffuse manner of MPB but hopefully this program has caught it and I can have hair for a few more years yet. My crown is in bad shape and it seems to be thinning down my middle parting towards my hairline, when the hair is wet I can some scalp, not lots but too much for me. Again I think all of this was happening in spite of this program not because of it and I pray I have caught it early enough and I'll keep you updated as to whether or not I have.

                I think the MSM is beneficial for stopping the rot but also in covering things up. The hair gets longer quickly so you can move it around to cover up areas. So it could be giving the impression its doing more than it actually is, time will tell, and I will tell you as soon as I know.

                Those of us who have adopted this program have a duty to check in with our reports. There has been a lot of bickering in this thread lately as we are seeing the timeline is not the same for all and results are varying. Everybody is different and things like age, diet and general health can effect how quickly you will react. For the record I am 33 and in good shape health and fitness wise. I run and hit the gym during the week and have a good weight. Remember we are all in this together and trying to find something that works. I believe this is doing something good, if I end up in worse shape in four months you will be the first to know.

                For those of you who recently dropped DHT blockers again you need more patience but you are doing this site a dis-service when you claim this program is fake. Its neither fake or good yet. We have 8 months left to go before we will know this.

                  I dont like the way MSM makes my hair feel.

                  It makes my hair feel really soft.

                      It's felt that way since taking MSM.

                      How do I know for sure if it is thinning?

                        It could just by my hair texture tbh. It's always been fine.

                            Soft hair= better ways to style your hair.

                            And no your hair is not thinning, maybe around the hairline? MSM did improved my joints from cracking during my works out though

                                Looks like a NW 1 man, no signs of thinning or loss. Lucky bugger, if I had your density I wouldn't be here. Can you show a shot of your hairline that isn't 'covered'
