Awesome, thanks for the update. How long have you been using the lazer therapy? what brand do you use?

Hi dude , I was going to start daily 0.1 mg finasteride topical lotion but I decide to try zix first , I hope It would work for me ,Im nw2a , Can you inform me little bit about it , I have 50 ml bottle I will done

15 ml etil
220x3 zinc total = 660 mg ?
B6 = 150 mg
45ml = distile water

My question is this , also should I add pg for better skin absorvation ? like 10 ml pg ? pg is known as make these products easy to absorve by skin .

Also do you suggest dermatsamp once a week with this treatment

No to dermastamp - others that have tried it dont seem to have good results combining the two.

Ive thought about pg, sandalore, and cetirizine, but I would try the orginal formula first. see if that works for you. If after several months you are maintaining, then try adding PG or whatever and take your time to evaluate. If you start shedding, I would say that it's not a good ingredient.

Sandalore was such a LET DOWN. that was actually regrowing my hair!!! I saw a difference on Day 1. and then all those wonderful new hairs that regrew, all fell out after 1-1/2 months. it all fell out. I couldn't believe it. i kept trying with sandalore... i even switched the brands... but nothing was working like it did at first. I still can't make any sense out of it. maybe in another couple of months i'll add a few drops of it into Zix. I'll see.

I need help. Do you guys first mix zinc and b6 in ethanol and later add water? Or mix it in water first and later add ethanol? How long do you guys let it set before using the topical?

Since May this year.

Treatment is at the clinic, using the high powered lazer machines once a week.

Interesting. I think the same happened with cetirizine and it lost its effect over time.

I really suggest you see how zix works for you, then you have a baseline that you can compare your results to.

Yea alcohol first. Ideally a few hours, but I've been in a rush and mixed it quickly also. I'd give it at least an hour though.

Hi, what is the difference between zinc sulphate and zinc chelate and which one do I need?

Zinc sulfate is the form we use for Zix:

In case someone is interested, I have found an alternative product to the Vitamin B6 tablets from Ecological Formulas. Like the product from Ecological Formulas, this product comes in tablets, and in the same form (Pyridoxal 5' Phosphate), but in fifty milligrams, making it more practical. It is easy to find and order from many countries:

https://www.iherb.com/pr/Country-Life-P-5-P-Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate-50-mg-100-Tablets/15242

There is no guarantee that this product will work exactly the same, but I will consider trying it for the scalp-concealing effect.

Seen it in the past but never tried it. Could work. I dont know.

For those saying minoxidil forms unpenetrable salts when mixed with zix, i think its true. Try mixing drops of minoxidil and zix and you are gonna see a different colour (redish intead of yellow) that stains your scalp, while zix alone gives the classic yellowish colour and minoxidil alone gives nothing(to me at least).The fact that the scalp is stained in a different colour makes me think minoxidil didnt pass that effectively (or else the colour wouldnt be there next day am i right?). Thought on this are more than welcome.

I read some use zix with only distilled water, without ethanol.

But is distilled water enough for skin penetration?

The original Zix formula is without alcohol and with less zinc. It has apparently worked for many:

It might be a good alternative for someone experiencing side effects from Worm's version, for example.

I would not mix minoxidil and Zix. Apparently the zinc in Zix somewhat breaks down minoxidil. Here is some information from the creator of Zix:

http://advinfoprod.com/hair_formulas_19.htm

Some people apply Zix in the morning and minoxidil in the evening. Minomuck is another alternative, by the Zix creator. It combines minoxidil with saw palmetto and some more:

Oh I didn't know.

And my train of thought was that maybe without the ethanol there would be less risks of it going systemic.

I would guess the same. It might be less effective for some people, though.

Without the alcohol there is no preservative. I would store it in the refrigerator. Joe's words from his page:

Since the formula has no preservative, I recommend you store it in the refrigerator if you are making more than a 2 week supply. Also don't mix up more than a 2 month supply even though you will be refrigerating it. Refrigeration, will only keep something fresh for so long. This is the draw back of making a solution that contains no preservatives.

Use ebay and amazon uk.

You'll have trouble with b6 - use pure encapsulations instead.

Zinc - plus pharma I think u can find it on ebay.

Bonne chance!

A simple Google search can work too sometimes. This comes up as one of the top links when I search "pure encapsulations p5p":

https://www.vitacost.com/pure-encapsulations-p5p-50-activated-vitamin-b6-180-capsules-1

It seems to be a good price and shipping price and for Europeans. It is the large version with 180 capsules.
