A short update as a warning:
DO NOT TRY AND DISCONTINUE MINOXIDIL IN FAVOR OF TRINOV!!! I repeat do not try and replace minoxidil with trinov. I assumed that one of the components of Trinov uses a similar mechanism as minoxidil and I'm paying to the price for that now. I'm experiencing the mother...
I had miraculous results with minoxidil after just 2 months btw. But generally speaking I agree with you.
Btw after stopping trinov I wasn't using using anything expect microneedling and keto shampoo for about a week. And a mega shed just arrived yesterday and got even worse today. I jumped back on...
I never said it doesn't work at all. It seems to be doing something to some people. Even in my case it obviously influenced my the shedding of my hair, albeit in a roller-coaster fashion. It also could have been counteracting stopping minoxidil.
I'm quitting mostly due to the sides. However mild...
I'm also quitting at ~2.25 months. My shedding recently stabilized at basically baseline level. Plus I think I'm getting slight DHT-blocker sides. There's an almost ever-present slight testicular pain. My mood is swinging up and down. For a week about a month ago I slept very poorly and had...
My shedding and itching shot up recently again. Trinov doesn't seem to be doing much. I was this close to getting on finasteride. Then I read some horror stories and changed my mind again. Nevertheless, it brought me to a thought - however weak S-equol is still a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor...
Do I understand you correctly that you the body start pumping out more testosterone as a reaction to the anti-DHT effect of s-equol? If that's the case then it sounds a bit dangerous.
Didn't someone mention that s-equal was a super weak anti-androgen?
Again, do I understand you correctly that...
Damn, maybe I spoke too soon. The shedding is back. I combed out 15 hair last night. It feels like a roller coaster. And it's the dark thick terminal hair that I'm losing. Moreover from the area where I need them the most *sigh*. And I have no clue if it's related to trinov, stopping minoxidil or...
Short update:
My short shed seem to have stopped. The itch is also mostly gone. I’m back to losing ~2 hair in the shower. Perhaps Trinov can indeed prevent a post-minoxidil shed. I’ll keep you posted.
How long were you using minoxidil and how long ago have you stopped using it? For me it was almost exactly the same time as starting Trinov (couple of days overlap).
Also I don't think I experienced a shed from Trinov itself. Unless it's the one I'm having now. It's more likely to be caused by...
Minoxidil doesn't do the job for me anymore. I was looking for something to add to the regiment.
Month 2 update:
I was enjoying little to no hairloss until a couple of days ago. I'm afraid the reckoning for stopping minoxidil is coming and Trinov can't stop it. The amount of hair in the shower went...
