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

[b0urna]

Boura what shampoos are you using ? I am on both of the powder forms of the combo too. I don't have a scales in terms of teaspoons how much do u use? Also what type of Vit c are you taking is it pure Vit c or the absorbic acid kind ?

I dont use shampoos/conditioners anymore, I have naturally very curly hair and using these usually result in it going straight or too soft. The MSM I use is this (http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pag...did=101&cid=37) and take 2 1/4 teaspoons worth, along side just under 1 teaspoons worth of this Vit C, which is of the Ascorbic Acid kind (http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pag...powder&rdcnt=1) . Hope this helps.

I'm on that Holland and Barrett vit c powder myself, stir half a tea spoon in with orange juice, certainly makes a zesty drink lol

Gutted, you mentioned you noticed increased shedding after dropping your combo for 7days, would I lose all benefits after a month? Also does anyone know the policy of taking medicine/vitamins in your flight luggage?
Anyway just wanted to pitch in to let people know im also experimenting (and seeing results) with this combo ALONE and I will continue this until it either becomes ineffective or a true cure becomes available.
Thanks Gutted, youve bought me some time and right now thats as precious thing.

Roughly, it took about 2 weeks before the itch/oil started to return, but this shouldnt be too detrimental, you should get back on it as soon as you return.
If you can find some raw garlic in new zealand and vitamin c and take that you should be fine. Although im sure i saw a website in new zealand which stock msm.

after two and a half months I don't see any reduction in sebum/oil - my face is always oily, no reduction in itching, so maybe i'm not using good suplements, or it just doesn't work for me. I'm not stopping this regime, I'll give it a year, but was expecting something at this point.

i take this MSM - http://well.ca/products/webber-natur...lets_5368.html
it says it is OptiMSM so I guess it should be good, could the vitamic C make the difference?

what other things are you on/were on? shampoo, internals etc

also do you take the msm with the vit c? and how much of the msm and vitc do you take?

you should have noticed some reduction in oil by now. Perhaps try a higher dose of msm.

well I was using niz before starting this combo 3 months ago, for like six months, which did nothing, it didn't reduce itch or dandruff so I was thinking of dropping it either way, and now I just take 9g MSM plus 4g vit c together; never used anything to reduce dht

i use rogaine but don't think that has to do something with oiliness; and than again I many times think about the fact if it is mph or something else, because itch occurs everywhere on the scalp

regardless of whethere its mpb or not, it should reduce sebum output.

What norwood are you?

also which rogaine do you use? the liquid or the foam version? The liquid one is more oily, and can give the effect of oilyness on your hair.

nw 1.5-2 diffuse, i use rogaine foam

try 12 grams of msm.

do you itch on the back & sides as well?

[ovoxo]

yes, back & sides too

[gutted]

yes, back & sides too

this is not very common, Could it be a reaction to rogaine?

perhaps consider trying the msm/vitc alone sometime in the future.

I have this itch for over a year now, so i would not blame rogaine, it is frustrating not knowing why I itch everywhere

try 12grams for a few weeks see if it helps. You shouldnt really be itching back & sides. It could be another microbial/bacterial issue.

ok, will try
