I'm shedding like a mofo on this lately. Wow. If there's no regrowth at all I will DEFINITELY be in a significantly worse position than I started in. To not mention shedding at all in the study or literature should be criminal. One of the reasons I didn't use minoxidil and waited 1.5+ years for this is because it was not supposed to make you shed.

Precisely why I have not tried Trinov ..fear of massive shed. I’m going to try Zix for now. If anyone wants a new unused bottle of Trinov let me know.

I'm also shedding A LOT lately. I lost lots of hair in the spots I'm putting Trinov (on my temples).

Actually, they don't say that. They say that there was a constant improvement and that 63.3% of the men in the study experienced an increase in hair number after 6 months compared to the baseline.

No significant differences were observed in men regarding the total number of hair at any control visits in comparison to baseline, yet men experienced a constant improvement. At the end of treatment (6 months), 63.3% of them had experienced an increase in total hair number and the percent change of total hair count after 6 months was +1.6% compared to baseline. A significant increase in anagen hair and a significant decrease in telogen hair were observed starting from 3 months (Table 1 and Supporting Information Figure S1), together with a significant increase in the pull test score.

And regarding the hair diameter in the table seems like there is an improvement from 0.0595 ± 0.0111 to 0.0651 ± 0.0181in a period of 6 months.
Ohh. 1% increase. Got it. Awesome. Well worth the price then. Keep going

I would try to wait to see if histogen comes out next year. I know they have been promising it will be coming out forever but it might actually be close now. Try to hold off on the hair transplant if you can.
Ha ha ha ha! I love an optimist but don't count on seeing Histogen anytime soon.

Honestly I'm very worried because the shed is very bad. Fidia never mentioned it and it looks like almost everybody is experiencing the shed (both here and on the italian forum). If Fidia knew they were criminals not to mention it.
I hope the hair will come back stronger or Fidia deserves a lawsuit.

Anyone else in Canada want to buy MY 2 unopened Trinov boxes? Will also sell at 120 PM me. I'll throw in the extra bottle (used 1 week) for free.

I'm also quitting at ~2.25 months. My shedding recently stabilized at basically baseline level. Plus I think I'm getting slight DHT-blocker sides. There's an almost ever-present slight testicular pain. My mood is swinging up and down. For a week about a month ago I slept very poorly and had terrible nightmares. Then there were the heart palpitations. To top it all off itching has gotten worse than it was before on minoxidil.
At first I had no idea that S-Equol was a DHT blocker and yet I still got the sides. Albeit mild I don't think it's worth it. If you're gonna gamble with DHT blockers at least go for something that works (ehm, finasteride).
I even went to the post-finasteride-syndrome website and discovered there is a guy who got it from Trinov. His symptoms seem to be so strong that I have no reason to doubt him. Moreover, the community there provided some evidence that flavonoids (which S-Equol belongs to) can also induce PFS.
To top it all off, there has been zero improvement in my hair. I have perhaps even lost more ground. As for minoxidil which I quit right after starting with Trinov, I'll see if there's a major shed after quitting Trinov too. If so, I might get back on minoxidil in an effort to salvage as much as I can.

If anyone's interested I still have one bottle of Trinov left. I'd prefer shipping it within the EU.

Wow, I don't get all the hate on here for Trinov.
I am six and a half weeks on Trinov and my hair is darker and noticeably thicker.

I have shed a little, too soon for any regrowth updates.

Also libido has increased.

I'm loving Trinov thus far, just hate the price.

After my initial optimism, I can't say I'm noticing any real positive changes at almost 2 months. I know it's hard to be objective with these things, so I won't say my hair is thicker or thinner, but my hairline certainly hasn't improved.

I do wish everyone was responding better to trinov. I am a 3 months and haven't noticed any regrowth but continue to have reduced shedding. Thats said, my hair has never been thinner as trinov came in as I got off minoxidil which caused a massive shed (stopping minoxidil may have been a mistake! but I seriously didnt like that stuff!) I have enough trinov to last me another 3 months using about 1.5ml/day. Yup, it's expensive but I dont really spend money on myself often so I dont mind. I costs less than a fancy daily coffee.

I took a series of better quality photos a 3 months and have a couple from about 2 weeks in. Regardless of whether I respond or not, I'll post them at the end of the 6month period. If I notice something significant before then, I'll post sooner.

Good luck everybody!

Why? They said from the beginning, that it didn't do anything. It's very clear on their study.

Because it “not doing anything” is a lot different from it making you shed a lot and your hair getting WORSE.

Also noticing slight testicular pain. Stopped it 2 days ago, 2 months in. Hope this gets over soon.

While I appreciate everyone's input and progress reports, and I'm not overly hopeful about the brotion at this point, I'm a bit confused about these reports of AA sides as well as hair worsening. It would seem that it would be one or the other?

Also those reporting shedding on trinov after quitting Minoxidil I think it's.. . Pretty obvious that the shedding is cause by the minoxidil no longer being applied. Even if trinov works, it won't be identicle to minoxidil, and quitting minoxidil will cause those gains to shed no matter what. And those complaining that their hairline hasn't improved in 2 months... is it possible that this is a case of unrealistic expectations? 3-6 months would usually be the least time required to see an improvement.

I believe that this product may very well do nothing, but it's hard to imagine that it's making hair worse. Either way I do appreciate everyone's updates, even if I don't personally think they are completely accurate/relevant.
