MSM supplement showing signs of new growth

Have you tried taking tocotrienols alone, in stronger doses? As far as I remember, you buy a ready-made bundle of omega 3 + tocotrienol?
They are separate. I’ve recently upped my dose to 250mg.

Did you notice any difference in hair quality with tocotrienols prior to starting with omega 3/Q10 or d/K2? Or did the progress only begin after adding the last 2?
I recently started Q10, read some great stuff and not a single negative from endless research. I've always taken omega 3 and vitamin d but tempted to look into adding tocotrienols and maybe k2.
I’m sure I started them together last year. My shed stopped completely. I mean zero hair fall. I’d vigorously rub my head and nothing. A few months after I quit the omega/coq10 I began to shed again. I’ve continued to take tocotrienols. They darken the follicles. Perhaps toco works like minoxidil and omega/coq10 is the anti inflammatory. Great combo

I have noticed virtually zero shedding since starting Q10, although it was already low since staring MSM when this thread began. I've also noticed slight darkening of hair but was putting that down to either MSM Q10 or l tyrosine which I also added few months ago same time as the Q10. Tyrosine is incredible if you get the dose correct, not exactly a 'high' but what I would consider the polar opposite to anxiety, wish I knew about it years ago when I was on finasteride. So not dropping that anytime soon, or MSM and Q10.
Interesting about the toco might have to add that.
I'm diffuse with a bit of receding rather than full on receding so maybe why I'm having success.

Curios what dose of L-Tyrosine you are using?
Tyrosine is a precursor to Dopamine, is this what you mean by "not exactly a 'high' but...polar opposite to anxiety" if you get the dose right?
I’ll probably get done tyrosine. What’s your MSM dosage?

Exactly, I've taken tyrosine in the passed for before sport etc to give a clear head the problem is it has a short half life and taking large doses can cause a crash in dopamine a few hours later, so I'm currently taking small doses through the day. My capsules are 3000mg, dirt cheap from Amazon, and I open the capsules up and into a tub and take the loose powder straight with a drink 3-4 times through the day up until about 7pm. So I'd guess I have roughly 2000mg per day.
That way my body doesn't get used to the high or to a dopamine spike and should avoid the crash when dopamine drops, and if I have less some days when I'm busy it's not an issue, don't feel a crash at all. Only thing I would say is don't take to late at night.
I do the exact same with micro dosing the powder with saw palmetto capsules, to much and notice a drop in libido (the reason I think it definitely controls DHT). Micro dose, add some zinc before bed, msm in morning and I'm all good.

I started on 5g MSM when this thread started, then up to 10g! Shedding reduced massively but not sure if it helped thicken hair. Then after few months slowly down to 1-2g in the morning. It's great and high dose seemed to help with running etc but over long term affected my sleep, would wake up and be wide awake etc. The 1g in morning seems to keep shedding down and doesn't affect sleep at all.
