I have long hair, so creams/ointments are inconvenient. If it is available in a lotion, I might buy it. It's quite easy to make it though...

Nah, it can't be the new Brotzu. It lacks a shady Italian doctor, tons of unwarranted hype, and most importantly, you don't have to live on the street to be able to cover your f*****g head with it on a daily basis because of how expensive it is. Even if someone releases an overpriced product with lactoferrin, I can always just buy capsules and make it myself.

Didn’t you call this cope at the beginning of the thread? Why would @whatevr give you any information when you’re the first person to always say it’s bullshit blue pill?

Or this (since I'm in the US). Is Bovine Colostrum the same as Lactoferrin? It's the only ingredient listed but not sure if liquid formulations are required to list filler ingredients. Would assume it's just filtered water but...? Would the fact that it's already in liquid make it somewhat degraded?

Hesitant to post a link but you'd have to be like the Count of Monte Cristo to put 17 years of planning into making a few pennies off of affiliate links, and quite honestly I don't have that kind of patience lol.

I'm combining LF with gelatin, but I believe believe LF to be the major boost to hair growth, especially the temples and hairline. It's hard for me to see regrowth on the rest of the scalp, because I have long Hair. I do see a lot of hairs "standing" out, which means they're too short to comb down. Looks ridiculous, but hey it's something.
Thusfar
Pro's: calm scalp, works amazing for sebum (my scalp got oily easily/waxy), new hairs, easy to make.
Cons: sticky hair and shedding. I've been shedding for a week now which is understandable. Hope to slow the shedding down with Zix. Have been stressed out from work as well....
Planning to update with side by side pics in 4 weeks, then I'll hit the two month mark. Happy with the results thusfar.

The Renorigin company sent me these before and after photos. Right above those pics it explains that only 65% of test subjects saw a 2% increase in hair density. They said that the product is available only in Taiwan however we could order it. Does this look worth it? The pictures look good but the study results don't seem good.

If possible ask them what the % concentration of lactoferrin they use is.
Is anybody looking into experimenting with a ready made LF lotion?

@MrsS you haven’t formally had your hairloss diagnosd have you?
I don’t see any pattern to your loss as such that would indicate that it’s Androgenetic Alopecia. I also don’t see any obvious miniaturisation on your hairline. I do know that recession is quite common in Telogen Effluvium and chronic Telogen Effluvium. I’m sure you’ve had a myriad of blood tests already and know whether or not there is anything else “wrong” that could instigate a shed, but I would not be too quick to call this Androgenetic Alopecia. Most definitive test would be a scalp biopsy, although sometimes the waters between Androgenetic Alopecia and chronic Telogen Effluvium are murky even with this sort of test.

A dermatologist did blood tests (hormones, iron, thyroid) and the modified Hair wash test to check for Chronic Telogen effluvium or Androgenetic Alopecia. CTE was obvious (900+ hairs) of which 9% were less than 3 cm, thinning hairs. Given my family history and Mirena (highly androgenic) triggered my hair loss, she diagnosed me with CTE+Androgenetic Alopecia and sent me home with minoxidil. She didn't take a scalp biopsy. My mid frontal part is thinning. Got maintenance and soms regrowth with Zix, but I have a visible wide part again (though not as bad as 6 months ago.)
I started with Lactoferrin on my hairline and temples (that was the worst), but also using it on the rest of my scalp now.
Not to be a downer, but 2% is nothing. I mean every kind of regrowth is good, but this amount proves nothing if this thing works or not. There are results from placebo in many studies that have had higher regrowth % so probably this is to be added to the list that does nothing.
