FORMULA---------I have sent this by PM to those who have enquired.It's called zix, I got it from a user called Joe on hairlosshelp back in 2005, Ive modified his original formula, basically 3x the zinc, adding ethyl alcohol (which he added to zix 2) and doubling the concentration. I think the ethyl alcohol is absolutely necessary. Joe came out with a couple other versions, but i didnt really like them, so i went back to the original and adapted it over the years.I still use original zix, but double the concentration with Ethyl Alcohol 70% (do not get confused with isopropyl alcohol which is not at all the same).My formula is- about 20 mls ethyl alcohol- 2 x 220 mgs of zinc sulfate - 2 x https://www.amazon.com/PlusPharma-Z...8&qid=1469108018&sr=1-1&keywords=zinc sulfate - 140 mgs of b6 (p5p) - I crush 7 pills (using a pill crusher) of these https://www.amazon.com/Ecological-Formulas-Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate-tabs/dp/B003TVEZ1C - 40 mls distilled water (must be DISTILLED NOT filtered or ionized or any of that)This fits in a 2 oz minoxidil bottle basically.Ive dabbled a bit with different brands of vits, but have had one bad experience with a different b6 and started shedding, not to mention the tabs make my hair easier to style. Otherwise I was using a different zinc until they discontinued it, and found this new one that works.One quick thing, I had majorly itchy and inflamed scalp from when i started losing my hair at 19 yo. I think that contributed to my loss, and as a result think i responded well to zix because it reduced the inflammation big time. Recently I noticed more shedding when I ran out of ethyl alcohol. While I didnt have the itch, it was still shedding about 50 hairs in the shower compared to 25-30. I bought some more ethyl alcohol a few days after, and the shedding has come back down to 25-30. So simultaneously i think it definitely helps prevent dht in the scalp.++Also, if you search google - worm + zix - you'll see I posted a lot about it in hairlosshelp years back (my history and formula etc).Also if you search zix + hair - you will see the original website that created the mix. I made mine more concentrated and added more zinc.BTW it helps with giving your hair a follicle boost and makes it feel and look cosmetically thicker.Here are a couple linksAnd another link -I tried adding Azelaic, but it didnt do anything. That said, it may have not worked due to a vitamin i was taking - which ive since dropped and my shedding decreased. I may try again in a few weeks.Also, be careful if you're using it with minoxidil. Joe says not to do so, however heard of some who do and have had great success.Please post your experiences here.
