tricomin: must read

Tricomin

http://www.beIgraviacentre.com/tricomin.htm

Each hair has two main stages – the active (growing) stage which lasts between two to seven years, and the resting stage which lasts for around 3 months. Around 85% of all the hairs on ones head will be active at any one time. Unlike Propecia or Minoxidil, Tricomin thickens up the appearance of the hair by using copper peptides to shorten the resting phase of the follicle, causing a greater number of follicles to be active at any given time.

Aside from Minoxidil and Propecia, Tricomin is the only treatment that has stimulated hair growth in partial FDA trials. In Phase II clinical studies, Tricomin had positive results on some of the 36 men who applied the treatment topically twice a day for 24 weeks.

As Tricomin does not actually prevent or decrease the rate of hair loss, but just temporarily thickens the appearance of the hair of those experiencing hair loss, it is advised that Tricomin is used alongside one or more of the FDA approved treatments as part of a full treatment course, as the hair will continue to shed and thin whilst using the Tricomin.

Bryan, do you trust that source?

So copper peptides just increase the number of hairs, and make some wider at the base just because they are in the growth stage longer?

I also ready that Tricomin has a conditioner in it that is what soothes the scalp.

a wikipedia article also says tricomin increases the length of the growth phase.


Also, it says that anti-oxidants stop super oxide, which inhibits NO, which is the natural minoxidil. So anti-oxidants increase hair counts like minoxidil does, at least by one of their mechanisms. But who knows how much NO your body will make. Minoxidil allows you to add a lot.

ccs i take it you didnt see my post in another thread aimed at you, otherwise you would have seen a study that proves that copper peptides can inihibit dht

I apply minoxidil (DNC) about 5 minutes after showering and applying Tricomin conditioner as the last shower step. My scalp has never turned green because of the this. Dr. Pickart advises that people wait 1 minute before applying folligen after minoxidil.

i think a concentrated version of the 1st generation cps is a powerful tool and a potential cure for hair loss. I am waiting for pickart's formula using the expired tricomin GHK patent as it will be the best thing ever. Procyte cells some really really expensive post transplant high concentration GHK and it works really well supposedly at keeping the transplanted hair so it probably does something good.

how long is the patent good for?

it is expired now.

it is expired now.

I did see GHK peptides for sale on skin bio, but very small quantities for a high price. Tricomin still costs just as much, and no generics. AC spray about 6 montha ago stopped selling CPs, and has been using copper gluconate, which does nothing.

American Crew is using copper peptides again according to their site. The ingredient list now indicates copper peptide rather than copper gluconate. Makes sense that they would since the patent expired.

Beaner you are wrong.They still use the gluconate.

 

[beaner]

Beaner you are wrong.They still use the gluconate.

I just posted the damn link to the American Crew website that says it's using the AHK Copper Peptides so how am I wrong? You may want to call AC and let them know that they are wrong and that they don't know what they're putting in their products.

That stuff is pretty cheap, I saw it somewhere for 12 dollar. Does it contain an amount of copper peptides that is comparable to tricomin or folligen?

I like the fact that it contains saw palmetto/green tea/rosemary & thyme also.



Btw: On the American Crew website they mention AHK Copper Peptides, what's the difference between these and GHK and what types are used in folligen/tricomin?

they don't say anything. Not the price or the ingredients. just a bunch of stupid pictures.

I hope American Crew has gone back to using copper peptides. I was disappointed and refused to buy it when I found that they went to copper gluconate.

I opened that link. No where does it say GHK. Copper gluconate is a copper peptide, but not a tri-amino peptide, and it will not help your hair.

Did you actually look at the link(in this quoted post) on the left hand side to the right of the dude it indicates AHK Copper Peptide Complex. Last time I was on that site it indicated copper gluconate. They have obviously gone back to it. It also listed the ingredients in the first link(sans the AHK complex)...., which would have led you to the second link if you weren't so ADD-like. Is that all you saw was "stupid pictures" and no text? You are one wacked out dude.

 

[Londo]

That's good news beaner. Of course it has to come right after I buy some Aveda and L'Oreal shampoo :-x

Copper gluconate is not a peptide. Are you drunk? You know damn well that it isn't. I wish I could re-vote on that troll post, because I'm beginning to wonder now.

 

[Londo]

I'm confused now. If you go here:

http://www.americancrew.com

You get taken to their home page. Check the Revitalize products and it says they use copper gluconate.

Where did you get your link beaner?

I emailed American Crew and asked if they changed back to copper peptides.
