I've also read that Saw Palmetto is effective against hairloss, that masturbation causes baldness, and that finasteride turns straight guys into gays. The moral? Don't believe everything you read. Tricomin was tested in one strength and is sold in a much weaker formula. So is the formula...

Minoxidil is for anywhere on your scalp. Hairline recession is where balding is often most aggressive, so when that happens, nothing works as well there as elsewhere on the scalp. Minoxidil was not specifically tested on the hairline, so the FDA would not let Pfizer state that it is for the...

First, unless there is actual evidence that various natural substances decrease serum levels of DHT, don't believe it. If that's true, the author should be able to cite some studies proving it. Otherwise, it's worthless speculation. Second, even if it's true that various natural substances...

I have used CUs for over two years and consider them an essential part of my regimen, which also includes finasteride, minoxidil and Nizoral. I use Folligen, which is a lot cheaper and stronger than Tricomin. I tried Tricomin too, but then switched. Loren Pikart invented both, and he claims that...

While I certainly don't endorse pro*****, this statement isn't accurate. Copper peptides are "worth doing" and have been shown to be effective in studies. Revivogen is probably worth doing, although it is too messy for me. There are one or two immunological suppressants that might have some...

Folligen has much more copper in it than Tricomin does. Some people claim that it has eliminated the gray hairs they have. Pickart, the inventor of both products, claims that copper does increase the uptake of whatever it is in the body that regulates melanin -- I forget the name of it, but you...

Vitacost is an excellent source for supplements. Their NSI brand is very good for most things.

There are various forms of DHEA. Does the DHEA Keto form contribute to hairloss?

The holy grail of HM is for the cloning process to sprout hair wherever you don't currently have any but want some, without transplanting. However, a more realistic goal is for some donor hairs to be harvested, for the hairs to be cloned, then for the cloned hairs to be transplanted. This...

Transplanted hair grows. Where in the world did you get the impression that it does not?

Patents are issued on processes, not on substances. Therefore it the process involved with a natural substance meets patent criteria, a patent can be granted.

Well, I posted my questions and your response Bryan verbatim on Skin Biology's website and asked Pickart to comment. Here's what he said: So if I understand correctly what he's claiming, it is that the "blizzard" of peptides with CU added grow more hair than any single peptide, including GKU-CU.

What do you mean by "randomly produced" in this context? That would appear to mean that Pickart has no idea which peptides might or might not work, he simply threw in a bunch of them in case one of them works. Is that your understanding of how Folligen was developed?

Pickart claims that it is an anti-DHT product, but I have no idea how it accomplishes that.

I took it orally for over a year, no help.
