But if it is working mainly by vasodilation via CGRP then it would be a lot safer. <br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-80626293657151091832010-07-15T04:26:55.074+03:002010-07-15T04:26:55.074+03:00@ E:

Then there's piroctone olamine, which is similar to ketoconazole. Vitamin A derivatives such as retinol and retinoids also have studies behind them, and I saw some new hairs from using a topical retinol cream.<br /><br />I tried toco-sorb for a month but didn't see anything. I took ginkgo too, but that was for a nootropic experiment. No effects from that either.<br /><br />My suspicion is that a green tea cream at the right concentration would probably be a pretty good topical. That combined with oral soy isoflavones, capsaicin, and flax meal might be a good "natural" regimen. Those are the most promising ones, at least.<br /><br />Most likely anything that reduces inflammation is good in the long run, too.JLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-69870691336126861242010-07-02T05:57:50.002+03:002010-07-02T05:57:50.002+03:00Hey JLL,

I don't know). I can search for the site I read that on if needed.<br /><br />So my question to you is what supplements/topicals do you think are best for hair growth/regrowth in your experience and research? <br /><br />I'm interested in toco-sorb and capsaicin, gingko, all kinds of stuff.<br /><br />This page is pretty interesting on the topic btw (its a good site);<br /><br />http://www.hairloss-research.org/february1.htmlEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-78340637655504482572010-07-01T21:49:48.649+03:002010-07-01T21:49:48.649+03:00Oh, sorry, JLL, I completely forgot that you'r...Oh, sorry, JLL, I completely forgot that you're occasionally writing for Tressless. <br /><br />Now I remember reading that article about Intercytex, thinking, "That's a well-written piece" and then I saw your initials in the byline.<br /><br />The patient pictures in your older article* about soy isoflavones and capsaicin are actually rather encouraging. Now I understand why you're making a multi-part series about this type of treatment :-) <br /><br />*<br />http://inhumanexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/09/capsaicin-and-soy-isoflavones-grow-hair.htmlFrFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-76114140822123552042010-07-01T21:28:39.226+03:002010-07-01T21:28:39.226+03:00@Jared Bond,

Any studies on that claim?<br /><br />@FrF,<br /><br />I wrote an article on Intercytex and regenerative hair therapy some time ago on <a href="http://tressless.com/2009/08/11/intercytex-and-regenerative-hair-therapy-what-are-they-waiting-for/" rel="nofollow">tressless.com</a>. I do believe that things like Follica and Histogen may be effective treatments one day, but I don't write about them so much, because I focus on writing about things that can be done by anyone at home -- which pretty much rules out injectable treatments.<br /><br />- JLLJLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-43129802830585460602010-07-01T21:18:10.618+03:002010-07-01T21:18:10.618+03:00I completely agree with Maharishi.

I'm always learning something new :-)<br /><br />(I didn't even know about soy isoflavones and capsaicin prior to reading about them at IE!)<br /><br />JLL, do you also keep an eye on hair multiplication and its protagonists like Follica and Histogen? What do you think about this line of research? Apart from corporate news (i.e. it getting additional funding) there hasn't been much heard from Follica but Histogen made headlines recently with this study:<br /><br />http://www.histogen.com/aboutus/news_events.htm#25<br /><br />All in all I think there's a reasonable chance that we'll get rid of the scourge that is MPB within the next, say, ten years. Let's not use the proverbial five-year time frame, though of course that would be even better :-)FrFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-47801364582240792262010-06-30T19:03:24.317+03:002010-06-30T19:03:24.317+03:00@Maharishi,
