Rogain or Tricomin???

[BK1]

I like to know some opinion on a regiment that I want to start for the first time.

I want to use only topoical solutions for now. So I'm going with Revivogen to block DHT (stop shedding) and use Tricomin to regrow.

I like to know what are benefits or advantages that Rogaine or tricomin have over one another.


Thanks!

Hi.

Rogaine/minoxidil = Hairgrowth

Tricomin = No hairgrowth

These two products can not be compared at all. Rogaine is the one to choose if you are going to regrow some hair.

If you have male pattern baldness (male pattern baldness), yes Revivogen can help you. Still most people choose to use propecia/finasteride. finasteride is more proven, and if you take a look in the success stories section you'll see that finasteride is included in most of the stories where people have success at maintaining their hair/stopping shedding.

I use both.

I only use Tricomin for scalp health.

Thanks for that guys.

Now, between Revivogen and Rogaine... which one works better?

 

[Cassin]

Always go with science and proof.

Rogaine

Tricomin grew hair in an FDA phase II study, Yuber, so you shouldn't say that Tricomin= no hair growth:

"ProCyte Corporation (Nasdaq-NNM: PRCY) today said that it obtained statistically significant results in an initial study of its hair growth compound, PC1358, in a group of men, ranging in age from 18 to 40 years old, with male pattern hair loss. The early-stage Phase II clinical study of the company's investigational compound, tradenamed Tricomin(R) solution, enrolled 36 men with early to mid-stage androgenetic alopecia -- or male pattern hair loss. Thirty-three of the participants were evaluable in the study, in which they were randomly assigned to either one of two dose groups or the vehicle formulation. Study participants topically applied the assigned treatment twice a day for 24 weeks.

The study's prospectively designed endpoints included determination of the effect of 1.25% and 2.5% doses of PC1358 versus vehicle on total hair count and hair weight measured in a one square centimeter treatment area located on the top of the head. An additional endpoint included a general cosmetic assessment of the treated area. Treatment with 2.5% PC1358 resulted in a statistically significant increase in the total hair count when compared to vehicle treatment over the course of the study. Appreciable increases in total hair weight were not found over the treatment phase of the study.

In the general cosmetic assessment, all participants treated with the high dose compound believed they were either growing more hair or staying the same, while almost half of the vehicle-treated participants believed they were losing more hair over the course of the study. The Phase II single center, double-blinded study also provided a further safety assessment of the compound. There were no serious drug-related adverse events reported in the study."

Your right. Copper peptides have been shown to regrow hair, but minoxidil is better at it.
It regrew hair in that study, but as far as I know the Tricomin used in that trial is not the strength commercially available to us?
I think tricomin is good in a regime that includes other agents. I've used it close to 10 months, it's doing good at calming the scalp.

I'm not saying minoxidil isn't better. I'm saying that there is a definite possibility of receiving additional hair growth benefits by adding tricomin to a regimen that already includes minoxidil. obviously if i could only afford to add one(based on financial or time concerns), i'd pick minoxidil.

Its not the same type of copper peptide nor the same concentration.
