Worm I currently use a caffine shampoo - alpecin, should I continue using that or would it interfere with zinc?

Yes Zinc inhibits DHT, honestly nobody can tell me differently, gave me the same sides as Darolutamide when I used 6 Zinc capsules now I use 3 and most of it has gone away
Wait, you used 6 zinc capsules topically and it gave you sides? I hope you are not taking it oraly because that dosage of zinc could seriously harm your body.

Ok, I finished my 60ml zinc + niacin mixture, I can't say much about the stylistic effects because I shaved my head to 0mm one and half month ago and my current hair lenght is something like 2 cm. From now on I'm gonna try zinc alone at dosage of 1,5g for 60 ml, it's 25 mg for 1 ml.

I noticed that there is a lot blood on my scalp when I'm using dermastamp, and before zinc and niacin there was no blood at all, I could use it super aggresive on my scalp without a drop of blood and now there is a bath of blood even when I'm using it gentle, so it could made some magic to my scalp blood flow.

Interesting thing is a niacin flush, when I'm oraly taking high doses of niacin.
The flush is a burning feeling under skin, super warm, and the skin goes red really fast, but I can't feel niacin effects on my scalp, it's blocked.
When i'm looking at photos of ppl with niacin flush it seems like the flush is going everywhere, but mine can't go above forehead, the temples and scalp are completly unaffected and I can feel it even on my toes.

@worm Not sure if you know the answer to this. I have been on Minoxidil for many years and it feels like it's not as effective as it once was. I added zix about two weeks ago, applying it in the morning and then minoxidil at night. Do you know of any cases of people stopping minoxidil and just using zix and NOT getting the dreaded shed? And/or do you think the Minoxidil will penetrate the scalp at night if the zix is still on after the morning application?

No, but I've heard of good results using that regimen. How are things going for you? Are you shedding? The minoxidil will penetrate, but showering obviously better prior to the application.

Not sure yet, I'm a diffuse thinner but I'll keep updating and let you know. I will say, I do see less hairs in the sink while getting ready. Also, I do love how the zix makes my hair looks thicker. More then anything, I love using it in the morning.

What kind of health issues if youbdon't mind asking?

I used it with minoxidil and a couple other ingredients. I had heart issues, eye problems, fatigue and incapacity to concentrate.

Eye problems is known side effect with DMSO, its not something to experiment with, please trust me on this. I wish I had never messed with it.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you are feeling well now, I thought it was safe because I never heard anyone said it would cause health issues.

If u want to step it up 1.5mm stamp twice a week i have seen a few people report good improvement. Dermaroller too harsh twice a week stamp is ok

This was 13 years ago, pre zix. I'm mostly better, not sure if I recovered 100% though.

Is P5P no longer an ingredient that you use in Zix? I see that you have it as an ingredient on the front page but it seems people OP and others aren't using it anymore.

Sorry if I missed anything. I've been ghosting this thread for awhile but am finally trying Zix today.
