anyone have a link the the FDA study? I can't find it in english. Here it is in German:
http://www.alopezie.de/website/page23.html

The tricomin placebo lost 2/3 as much hair as the minxodil gained. That sounds to me like a bad behicle. the minoxidil vehicle grew hair. Odd with all the ethanol in there. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what part of each vehicle is responsible for the placebo effects?

We know minoxidil 5% grows 50% more hair than the 2%. The tromin 2.5% grew 30% more hair than the minxodil 2%, and the tricomin 1.25% did not have any improvement at all, though did not get worse much either.

we know that oils don't cause hair loss. Look at emu oil and corn oil. they are harmless enough. just messy. I think oleic acid will be good, if the CP's are stable around pH 4-5. And soluble.

I don't think soap ingredients are extremely important, but I do think topicals that are on the skin 4 hours a day had better be healthy.

Why would tricomin 1.25% appear to not do anything?? That's really wierd, I'd like to read the study in english though

I am really getting confused about this tricomin thing?

So now the 1.25percent (stuff sold on this site) is not good? They showed it made no change or am i reading that wrong?

If it had no benefits then why did everyone always promote it. I now hope im not wasting my time with it.

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure that the concentration of copper peptides in tricomin follicle spray is 2%. Where did you get the 1.25% figure from? I've read on other boards that it is 2%...

The 1.25% seemed to 'maintain' hair i think. I'm a bit confused about tricomin, but from reading threads about it, many people think it offers quicker recovery from sheds, can make existing hair thicker/healthier, make the scalp healthier, reduce inflammation and can also provide regrowth. I'm quite happy with it so far anyway.

i thought that the tricomin that they decided on was closer to 2%.they said it was somewhere in the middle apparently.

we don't know the concentration of the tricomin on this site. That should tell you about procyte's ethics, that they refuse to say what is in it. maybe it costs too much to make 2.5% and they just could make enough for the study.

Anyway, the 1.25% I am refering to is the stuff in the study, not a claim about the concentration of the stuff in the bottles you use.

As for it maintaining hair, so did the placebo, about equally well.
