My Zix Experience - How B6 And Zinc Have Saved My Hair

[worm]

Which of the sides you still experience?

Well my memory is worse and I dont feel as sharp. I'd say I bounced back about 90% or so from the peak of my brain fogginess, I just feel a tick slower. I also experienced mild ED, but that fully recovered once I stopped (zinc picolinate supplements were part of that recovery).

Ultimately, I dont have much regret that I took finasteride for 8 years, as I had great hair. Zix then took me from 27 to 40 while not effectively as it did before that period, but mentally way better off.

I'm getting the same sides from Zix that I did from Propecia, except for a bit less what the f*** maybe I'm doing too much? 2.5ml twice a day?

I find that unusual, but everyone responds differently, so im not saying you arent experiencing sides. I know Joe recommends 1ml twice a day. Personally I usually just apply once per day. So yes, maybe try once a day or cut back to 1ml twice per day. Good luck!

I think I was too quick to judge and paranoid in that day, feeling pretty normal now, I recall another user also saying he got sides from Zix so that scared me.

Glad to hear. I was thinking about your sides, it just seems unlikely. That said I do believe we have a tremendous power over mind over matter - it's more a philosophy Im forming as I start my 40's, but belief has a big impact on your experience of reality. That said, I qualify that statement with, sides are possible.

Keep us posted.

3 day update on zinc alone (no b6 in the last batch mixed up on sunday) -

Well, 3 days is way too early to tell, but I think Ive been noticing a little more itching, but it never seems to be more than a passing moment. Part of me has been thinking it's not as effective, but I suppose my true evaluation is what I find in the drain catch in my shower. I figure if it's working better than with a b6 combo, I will see less hair in the catch, and if worse, I'll see more.

So far I seem to be seeing around the same amount of hair lost in the catch, but very possibly even less (based on todays assessment - only saw 15 in the catch today vs 22-25 hairs - so 25% less). Still in evaluation phase, but zinc alone could very well be better than my b6 zix mix. I'll probably continue this experiment for a few weeks, unless of course I take a turn for the worse.

One thing I miss compared to my zix mix though is my zinc solution doesnt give me nearly the same styling/thickening effect. But if it turns out to be more effective, then an improved density will eventually offset this.

Question, does the vitamin b6 absolutely have to be p5p? I have b6 but it’s not p5p. Idk what the difference is.

Yes, it absolutely needs to be p5p

Day 5 on zinc alone.

Observations are that I do not like how this solution doesn't thicken my hair cosmetically like zinc and b6 together. Just that alone is bumming me out, as my hair looks much thinner. I even caught my woman checking it out. Ultimately I don't care, but I much prefer having an additional boost from my old mix.

As for hair loss, I saw close to 30 hairs in the drain last night, and around 22 today. I suspect its because I'm not brushing my hair as much, so I'm going to try to do so tomorrow and see the effect. It's still early to tell but so far I can't say that I've noticed much difference. I'll give it a week I think, otherwise just for the cosmetic reason, I will probably add b6 back in.

I don't think a week is enough to see the difference , your hair fall might be from the b6 still, I don't see why it would be better without though.

Totally agree, I think 2 is a minimum. That said I have noticed that upping my zinc concentration in the past resulted in benefits after 2-3 days. Anyhow I'll brush more and evaluate tomorrow. It's probably pretty stable atm. I'll see how things are on Sunday, which will be day 8.

You know on a side note, I remember first trying minoxidil when I first started balding. at the time I was shedding lots of hairs already, and had lots of hair to shed, so I didn't really notice if I went through a shed.

Now that I'm contemplating using minoxidil again, I have less hair and don't want to mess with what I have and go through some shed. But the fact is that I'm not shedding much, so with luck I won't shed more, but rather just thicken up what I have. Some people claim that minoxidil actually helps them shed less. I'm getting very tempted to try it, especially as this Brotzu lotion doesn't seem to be anywhere close to being released. From. The pics you can see I have still quite a lot left, I just would like more and to stem the slow recession and thinning I seem to be experiencing over the years.

In my zix, there is some white residue at the bottom. I think it might be the b6. Is this normal? I used zinc sulfate, b6 p5p, 40 ml distilled water and 20 ml ethyl alcohol. Am I doing something wrong?

Happens to me too, it'll be fine, next time try and poor the ethanol with those pills and leave them in there for like 30min and then add the rest of the ingredients.

Totally normal, just shake it up before taking a ml or too with your dropper.

Gotcha, thanks for the help. Is your zix also very yellow? It stains my skin and is kind of obvious around my hairline if I’m not careful haha.

Hi guys, here's a thread I found by @Toyboy, he claims good results with minoxidil and revivogen (which is basically zix), using once a day, one on the morning, the other at night.

Here is @lmdavies post, super amazing to hear his good results. I'm gonna add minoxidil in the next month I think.

I'm on my 14 day of using zix and I dermaroller for the first time today in about a month. I was shocked when I didn't hear the usual popping sound I get when I dermaroll. I was really shocked, my scalp usually sounds like rice crispies when I use the dermaroller. I wonder if this is from the zix. I feel like zix is doing something for my scalp. Hair feels good and scalp feels good. I used 3 capsules of the zinc. I'm optimistic about this stuff, but i guess it's too early to tell. I have noticed a small decrease in shedding, but I definitely need to pay more closer attention. Any thoughts?

 

[kamikaze2803]

I've been applying minoxidil and applying 2ml of zix 10 minute later at night. Then minoxidil again in the morning before work. I read on the other thread that's it's zix first and then minoxidil 5 minutes later, what are u guys trying? Should I apply be applying them the other way around
