    Update.

    Hair is still the same, got it cut today.

    Dont know if that is down to the toco, or down to the fact that I have very slow hairloss.

    I have been taking toco for a month and 2 weeks i think...and i am working out heavily.

        I am 26.

        Aside from toco-8, I am taking multi vits, l-cystine, and I use an organic shampoo that hasn't got any SLS in it.

        Diet is quite healthy too, a lot of fruit,veg, fish etc.

            I started Toco-8 yesterday. Like everyone else, I'll post updates if I notice anything. Gotta grow my hair out for a bit to get an idea for the current state of things.

            Is anybody noticing anything yet? I see Clandestine is coming up on two months on my birthday. I'm birthday wishing for some hair for you, though I gotta admit, it's mostly because that would probably mean hair for me here in a couple months.

            (As a side note, I've got a pretty good idea how fast my lifts typically go up week by week. If I feel like those are helped along, I'll comment on that, if anyone cares. This is a workout supplement, afterall.)

              My libido is higher since taking this stuff.

              I think at best all you can expect from toco-8 is maintainence. My hair got complimented by my hairdresser today, which felt good.

                How long have you been taking it? And how long was it before you noticed that your libido was higher?

                  Unfortunately I feel my hair loss is progressing. I fear that if it I do not take more dire measures in an attempt to slow or stop its progress, then it will indeed get worse.

                  I've been considering maybe saw palmetto, or beta sitosterol. I'm noticing temples are thinner behind (further back) than my initial recession, there is some vertex or crown thinning as well (not as noticeable).

                  It will be two months on toco 8 on the 20th, almost done the first container. Doesn't hurt my workouts, that's for sure.

                  As a note, doesitwork, a member who posted earlier in the thread (page 6?) and a proponent of tocotrienols as a treatment for hairloss, said it took around 5 months before he noticed any positive changes. That said, positive changes he did indeed notice.

                    Toco-8 and scalp itch

                    For those of you still trialing this stuff, do you think it has reduced any of your MPB-related scalp itching? I seem to recall someone mentioning in a post a while back that they thought they had less itching while on this stuff.

                      yeah I think that was me..... I ran out of finasteride and had to wait 2 weeks for new pills to arrive. Itching came back, but then I started taking toco-8(without fin) and the itch stopped....

                        Interesting. Thanks for the response 2020. I guess only time will tell if there is any benefit to this stuff.

                          Toco-8 update

                          So I've been taking these everyday for the past month:
                          1) Toco-8 (1 scoop)
                          2) Resveratrol (1 pill)
                          3) Black tea (1 tea bag)

                          Itching has stopped (but comes back rarely...)
                          Hair on my chest has grown by 20% (in fact, my skin treatment therapist noticed it the minute I took off my shirt)
                          Shedding has slightly decreased, getting better every time I shower it seems.

                          Will keep you guys posted every month.

                            ^ is that ALL you've been taking for hair loss?

                            I've been taking toco for 3 weeks or so and I think my eyebrows are thicker....

                              I'm considering adding this too...just not sure an appropriate dosage. The whole connection with MPB as a result of PDG2 is too new.

                                Yes, I'm going ALL natural. I'm one of those that doesn't want to start medication and make my hair dependant.

                                No I am serious, my chest hair has increased...
                                Can't say the same for my beard growth speed, but it's a start
