Don't know what to think of it - too good and simple to be true. Does it state that it halts hair loss? How long were they taking the vitamin-e for in the trial? 41-50+% is A LOT of growth. I can't see this being realistically possible unless we don't know about this because there's more money to be made with the pharmaceutical products :-)

Let's give this form of vitamin-E a trial amongst ourselves and draw conclusions from there.

Nice find.

I agree with the last statement. Nonetheless, I've been taking a vitamin E supplement for a little over a month...but that's along with curcumin/reveratrol so there's no way of knowing which of these will have positive effects. I'll still make a progress report once I've hit the 3 month mark. So far, my hair is still a sickly yellow/red.

It can be bought here http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Tocomin-SupraBio-Palm-Tocotrienol-Complex-60-mg-120-Softgels?csrc=GPF-835003008933#IngredientFacts

They come in 60mg, so taking 2 daily would be ideal. I'm already taking vitamin-e but it's not the same "toco-" used in the study, so I think I'll replace it with the ones used in the study. Should be interesting.

We know HOW dut, propecia, minox works for hair loss. But is there any halfway-mad scientists here that know HOW vitamin-e tocotrienol complex works on hair loss? The study shows it's all dandy but does not show how it helps and what exactly the vitamin-e's role is biologically. Does it kill the DHT? Does it revive dormant folicles? Make thicker the vellus hair and maybe a growth stimulant?

I'm not saying it does work and I'm not discrediting it at the same time, although I am a tiny bit skeptical about it.

The everyday vitemin-e pills we take daily are not the tocotrienol complex used in the study so I doubt your vitamin-e has anything to do with hair regrowth.

"There are eight forms of vitamin E: four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). Alpha-tocopherol is the main source found in supplements and in the European diet, while gamma-tocopherol is the most common form in the American diet.

Tocotrienols (TCT) are only minor components in plants, although several sources with relatively high levels include palm oil, cereal grains and rice bran. "

While the majority of research on vitamin E has focused on alpha-Toc, studies into tocotrienols account for less than one per cent of all research into vitamin E.

ť for 20 plus years, no regrowth from it
ť the only thing that regrew mine was DHT Blockers

Maybe one of the reasons for this:

"What makes Toco-8 different than every other Vitamin E?

First, it's important to understand that Vitamin E is actually a term used to describe a family of nutrients. Most people think that there is only one Vitamin E, when in fact there are 8 different members that make up the Vitamin E family, listed below

The tocopherol family -

alpha-tocopherol

beta-tocopherol
gamma-tocopherol
delta-tocopherol
The tocotrienol family -

alpha-tocotrienol

beta-tocotrienol

gamma-tocotrienol
delta-tocotrienol.

All of them have important functions in the body and each a unique action. Unfortunately, the only form that's been readily available is the alpha-tocopherol (contained in most generic Vitamin E supplements).

The popularity of alpha-tocopherol stems from the fact that it is an incredibly abundant and cheap form of Vitamin E. In the early 1900's, during the popular time of vitamin discovery, alpha-tocopherol appeared to be the only Vitamin E utilized in the body, because it happened to be the only vitamin E easily detected in blood. (Tocotrienols tend to accumulate and protect the liver, brain, and subcutaneous tissues, while being very hard to detect in blood.) It wasn't until recently that the other forms of Vitamin E, such as the tocotrienols, began to be uncovered as very important nutrients for human health.

The irony is that most Vitamin E products claim to be "natural" because the Vitamin E is naturally extracted from soybean oil, but then synthetically altered to create pure alpha-tocopherol. So, we miss out on all the other forms, and end up with something very unnatural. This creates a major imbalance. For instance, the National Academy of Sciences recently announced that supplementing with alpha-tocopherol alone depletes the body of the other members of the Vitamin E family. This is a problem because it is the "other" Vitamin E's that show the most impressive benefits for improving cardiovascular health and hair regrowth.

Most alarming, is that tocotrienols are already extremely low in Western diets, while being simultaneously depleted by the ever dominating alpha-tocopherol supplementation! Tocotrienols should be first on your list of supplements!

Question:

How long do you estimate anything beneficial has to be taken in order to produce results if any are in store? This is basically referring to anything that might give a positive effect. Yeah, a little broad, but you get the idea.

4 months? 3?

Ya very true. Generally speaking most foods contain several nutrients, in varying amounts. Carrots, for instance, contain a little protein, a trace of fat, some carbohydrate, a good deal of water, a little sugar, fibre, and a selection of vitamins and minerals such as potassium, sodium, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamins B6, C and E, folic acid, biotin and pantothenic acid, etc.

A major shed or side effects notwithstanding, I think three months is enough time to tell whether or not a particular regimen is working for you. But this doesn't necessarily mean "regrowth."

It could mean that, for example, your scalp's condition has improved, less dandruff and itchiness. Or perhaps, your hair loss has stabilized.

These are signs that your regimen is working.
