Yes, I would say that it's basically the same, probably more effective given the concentration i suggest given my experience.

I used these, apparently they arent pure, and it totally messed up its effectiveness and I began to shed the entire time I was using them. Things only rebounded to normal when I went back to the capsuled version.

I use tab versions of B6 p5p. I dont know how effective it will be. I would think that the zinc is the one that needs to be in bulk / "more pure". Have you searched ebay.co.uk? If you cant find anything else, I'd say give them a try.
I massage it all over my scalp, most especially where i am diffusely shedding, but try to cover all male pattern baldness areas that could be affected in the future as well. I use probably around 2-3 mls per application.

I wonder if this is related to zinc oxide cream being moderately effective in fighting acne.
Maybe I'll buy some B6, dissolve it in my zinc oxide + castor oil cream, and apply it to my hair once a day.

Yeah, fillers aside, these tabs you used had 95mgs of Calcium per tab. I believe that's the reason why they failed to do the job. Mine are Calcium free so we'll see what happens.

I think Calcium is known to F up lots of things and cause absorption issues. I suppose that's a good sign then, crossing fingers for you.

I think there may be something to that. That said I would stick to the zix formula, why tinker with something that has worked for many?

BTW, maybe it's been mentioned on this thread already, but this is pretty much a simplified version of revivogen? Maybe zix can be more effective though because of the extra zinc. who knows how much/little is actually in reviviogen

Yes @baldboys about 5 messages ago just said so. I quoted it a couple a few times throughout. It's basically the same active ingredients imo, and costs you about 97% less per month ($1.50 vs $30 something), and I totally agree probably way more effective due to zinc concentration.

Just mixed up my latest batch this morning. Im trying 3.5 zinc today. Im wondering if I should try 4, but I'll wait a couple weeks and move up then. Im hoping it improves the efficacy just as moving from 2-3 did. If it does, I'll be losing 5-8 hairs in the shower which imo will be a total remission of male pattern baldness. Crossing fingers here. Dont think I'll see any improved results before 7-10 days.

I had one person asking me what the volume was for 220mgs for those buying in bulk - I took a couple reference pics - 1 capsule is just under 1/8 teaspoon. I put 3 capsules in 1/2 teaspoon and it comes close to filling that out as well. Here are a few pics for your reference. Im just letting the solution dilute, then I'll add the rest of the water.

@Chocolate Lebron
TBH I have zero idea how any alternative treatments will respond, essentially because I havent tried them.
What I can suggest however is that I would try zix first and only zix. The kitchen sink approach while sometimes works, is rarely effective.
For example, Ive only recently deduced that 3 pills of zinc are making a difference in my zix, while I hold everything else stable.
I have minoxidil sitting in my closet ready to deploy, but I cant because Im still trying to improve zix alone. I have just added 1/2 zinc more in my latest batch, and am debating dumping the last half capsule in there (to go from 3 to 4 capsules). I dont think I'll know for at least another month how things are working. And even then with the reduced shedding (thanks for 3 zincs), I would like to reevaluate my hair at the 3-5 month mark to see what impact the zix is having.
Personally I tend to err on the less is more philosophy. If you add green tea, along with zix, you may have great results, but you may not know what is working, and therefore you may be applying one of them unnecessarily.
So long story short, I suggest you try zix for a few months before you try adding anything else.
PS I think zix alone could be the only thing you need in treating male pattern baldness. I believe it's slowed my hairloss by a factor of at least 10x slower.

@whatevr As ratios I understand your analysis, however Im not totally sure I understand how you derived the target amount.
I ofc see I am just under that, and I suppose it's serving as inspiration for going from 3 to 3.5 capsules (220 mgs each) today. That would bring me just a little above the target
Do you think I should just go to 4 straight away? Or do you think I should ease into it over the next weeks?

I think I made the target arbitrary, it's not a result of any math. I got my B6 today.
I will make a log of what I use currently. I don't use Zix on its own though, I use quite a few other things, but I will attempt to make it all work together because I also need regrowth.

Gotcha. Good to hear you got your B6, I was reading up more and I believe you mentioned it, however the b6 is supposed to really enhance the anti dht properties when combined with zinc sulphate.
I use 3 and 2/3rd capsules for this zix mix.
I got to say again, Im super jazzed about the enhanced results of zix since I added the 3rd zinc pill. Im hoping the extra 2/3 capsule will give another boost. If I can get the shedding under 10 in the shower, I think that it will be as good as I can hope with any treatment. Looking forward to the next few weeks!
Good luck!

i'll be ordering what i need shortly. Just hope my minoxidil use dosn't screw up zix's efficiency. In the long run i would like to eventually ween off minoxidil anyway as I believe it doesn't actually help against male pattern baldness in the long run. Just gives you more hair than you should have, but that boosted number eventually drops as DHT continues to brutalize the follicles.

That's just it. If you apply the zix, then wait for minoxidil some 5-10 mins later I hear you should be fine. Ive heard of some applying minoxidil only once daily too. There was a period of years where I was only using zix once daily as well. You need to figure out what works for you. That said I think zix will answer your need for anti dht which will prevent further loss while you enjoy the benefits of minoxidil.
