What is your % of alcohol in the formula? I think I remember you saying like 10% alcohol by volume. I wonder if that's why it goes bad after 3 weeks. Usually you want 15-20% for preservative effect. I can't imagine anything really going "bad" if the right preservatives are there. Except the...

Looks like it has some magnesium added. It may or may not affect the final product. Just find a brand of p5p with 50mg per serving and the least amount of fillers. If you have a milligram scale you can get pure p5p powder from bulk supplements or some other website that sells supplement powders

i weighed 1 capsule of the p5p from pure encapsulations and it weights around 220mg. There is only 50mg of p5p in each capsule, so 170mg is just filler. Im pretty sure that is the sediment in my zix. I used a liquid zinc so the only sediment would be from the p5p. I ordered a powdered p5p from...

i applied zix for the first time last night. i had interrupted sleep waking quite a few times. my friend who also tried it had even worse sleep than me. he was awake most of the night. perhaps its the b6 causing this?

I just made my zix and I'm leaving it out for a night to dissolve more fully, but I'm considering leaving out the sediment when pouring the solution into bottles. I used a liquid zinc and the pure formulas b6 powder. I'm thinking the sediment is just fillers not actual b6. The reason I think so...

I feel like the arginine helps only because it's a vasodilator. So it basically just increases circulation. I think there's many things things that can do that like scalp massages or tipping your head in a downward slope. I use some herbal oil on the scalp that I massage and leave on for 20 min...

I read some study linked here that tested like 4 forms of zinc. It said they all worked, but zinc sulfate was less irritating than the others. I know many hair loss shampoos use zinc chloride, which is the more irritating form, but may not matter if your rinsing it off. They used a .1% solution...

If my math is correct, they used 1mg melatonin per application. I have a liquid melatonin by premier research and 4 drops is equivalent to 1mg. If I end up using it with zix I would just add 4 drops each time when I apply it.

I found they used 1ml of .1% alcohol solution of melatonin per application. So if my math is correct they used 1mg per application. Maybe I'll just add that each time I apply the zix.

anyone try melatonin yet? i cant find the actual mg to put in a solution. I think its 0.1% melatonin solution, but how many mg would that be for say 2oz? I have Premier research lab liquid melatonin that has 8mg per dropper (1ml), but not really sure on the right math. also wondering if anyone...
