    Default Why the Interest in TRX2?

    There's a thread about TRX2 in this forum that spans thousands of replies. I wonder, why? Is it just good marketing? Are people genuinely piqued by the possible efficacy of this product? What's the deal?

    I finally checked out the product's Web site, and it seems the pills contain (http://www.trx2.com/store/wp-content...2_november.jpg),

    191mg potassium chloride (a simple salt compound)
    150mcg biotin (vitamin B7)
    800mg carnitine (a biologically important protein)
    150mg leucine (just an essential amino acid)
    75mg isoleucine (another essential amino acid)
    75mg valine (yet another essential amino acid)
    40mg nicotinic acid (vitamin B3)

    Of course, you can break down any compound to its elemental constituents, then say, "that's not so special," but none of these substances has any clinically-proved direct effect on treating hairloss. Sure, if you're starving, so not getting enough nutrients, hairloss might be a side-effect (then, a supplement/pill that gives you some of what you're deprived of could help you grow back some), but that isn't "male pattern baldness." Of the seven ingredients listed by the manufacturer, you'll take in all the amino acids and vitamins in your diet (if you have a healthy one); that's five components.

    Then, it comes to about $70.00/bottle — that is, a month's supply — for some carnitine and KCl, neither of which has been linked to re-growth of hair or even to impeding androgenic alopecia.

    So, why all the interest?
