A generic alternative to Tricomin?

[Quantum Cat]

now you can get generic Minoxidil instead of Rogaine, does anyone know if there is a generic Tricomin/copper peptide spray? I don't think I can afford to keep using Tricomin because of the cost.

 

[Cassin]

Sorry no.

I have been a long time user of Tricmin and I use a bottle every 5 to 6 months.

is it a 180ml bottle you use? 5-6 months is pretty good - I'll be lucky if mine lasts half that.

Has it helped regrowth for you?

Don't look at copper peptides as a way to regrow hair as much as it keeps your scalp in prime shape.

None. American crew used to be a cheaper source of the same active ingredient, but they did not want to pay royalties anymore, and switched to copper gluconate instead, which is worthless.

Folligen is a different type of copper peptide with no FDA studies, but many guys on here say it works very well for them.

I don't know of what you mean by expensive, but the 2month dose of Prox-N lasts almost 5-6months if you apply it once everyday. So if you buy the 4 month pack you are set for about a year. Don't really know the difference between Tricomin and Prox-n, except that Dr.PhD Pickart is completely bald and Dr.PhD Proctor has a full head of hair :whistle:

Prox-n could give the offset of growth, but one cannot argue that CP are good for scalp. Some derms use some kind of CP after they have done scar treatments on patients.

£36 for a 180ml bottle of Tric

so is there no evidence that copper peptides regrow hair?

If I want to keep my scalp in prime shape there are far cheaper things to use eg. Revita

Actually Tricomin went through FDA Phase II trials and the results indicated Tricomin was about as effective as 2% minoxidil.

Your hair grows out of your scalp. If your scalp isn't healthy, it's top priority isn't going to be supporting/growing hair. male pattern baldness leads to really bad scalp conditions. Copper peptides are great for skin, and go a long way toward fixing the scalp problem caused by male pattern baldness. The best CPs are Folligen, Prox-N, Tricomin (maybe I missed some).

having a healthy clean scalp is obviously a good thing for the quality of your hair, but will do nothing about the quantity of hair and has no effect on male pattern baldness.

You must have seen vagrants on the street who have disgusting hair, but a full head of it nonetheless.

I posted the instructions on here to make your own copper peptide spray similiar to Folligen, and that's the best I can do... There's no way to duplicate Tricomin.

 

[OverMachoGrande]

Yeah unfortunately there is no generic to Tricomin.

 

[Cassin]

Like I said before..if you can deal with the mess Folligen is an awesome deal.

Squeegee

That still working well for you?

 

[squeegee]

yep so far so good! the bottle last forever. My hair doesn't look like minoxidil hair.. Look thicker with it. It does a better job than the Tricomin bottle for me and way cheaper.

I'm going to get some Folligen, as my order of hair signals didn't arrive and I haven't been charged for it.

What do you mix it with Cassin, water, distilled water?

And do you think it's better than hair signals, also what's the square root of 1858?

Thanks

I've almost finished the bottle, thinking of folligen next though...

where's a good place to get folligen in the UK, or do you have to import it?
