The new arsenal against hairloss?

[novicebb]

Have anyone heard anything about Toco-8 for hair regrowth? I think it sold by some company that use to advertise here but I can't remember the name?

I think you are talking about the new product from Primordial and here is the information about Toco-8:

What is Toco-8?

Toco-8 is a tocotrienol complex extracted from Palm Fruits (elaies guineensis). It is an almost tasteless powder* which easily disperses in water, and can be included in your favorite sports drink or protein shake. At the average dose, Toco-8 will last 60 days. *Includes dosing scoop.

The tocotrienols found in Toco-8 are super powerful anti-oxidants which have been proven to have powerful health benefits for the cardiovascular system. (2-8) Tocotrienols also play an important role in the synthesis of LH & FSH, which stimulate Testosterone production from the testes, while also increasing the testes Testosterone production capacity from LH & FSH stimulation. (9-11) Recently, this unique tocotrienol complex has been granted a US patent to prevent hair loss and promote hair regrowth by an average of 42% in individuals suffering from alopecia. (1) This is a much welcomed alternative to the popular hair loss drug Finasteride, a drug which reduces DHT and contributes to a host of side effects such as libido loss, gynecomastia, and depression. (12)

Technically speaking, Toco-8 is a natural Vitamin E supplement, but to call it a “natural Vitamin E supplement” puts it on the same shelf as every other generic Vitamin E product on the market. The fact is, the natural Vitamin E found in your local supplement shop or grocery store is not natural at all. Rather, almost all Vitamin E products on the market are actually synthetic Vitamin E; a potentially dangerous and cheap byproduct of soybean oil, known as alpha-tocopherol (Go ahead, take a look on your vitamin label).

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. There are the tocopherols which consist of alpha-tocopherol, beta-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol and delta-tocopherol. Then, there are the tocotrienols which consist of alpha-tocotrienol, beta-tocotrienol, gamma-tocotrienol and 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.

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 supplementing with only one of the eight Vitamin E’s. 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. Even more alarming, is that tocotrienols are already extremely low in Western diets, while being simultaneously depleted by the dominating alpha-tocopherol supplementation! Tocotrienols should be first on your list of supplements!

So what’s so special about these Tocotrienols and what are the benefits?

Tocotrienols are short & slippery. That’s right. Due to a different stereochemical shape, and shorter “tail” in their phytyl chain, Tocotrienols have increased cellular mobility. Imagine natural tocotrienols as the “short & slippery” forms of Vitamin E that can pass through cytosol and cell membranes to impart their positive effects, rather than becoming clustered like a synthetic form of alpha-tocopherol. (13)

You’ve probably heard people tell you to “get your vitamins from natural sources”. Now you can, with Toco-8. That’s because Toco-8 is an all natural extraction which preserves the perfect natural ratio of all 8 tocotrienols and tocopherols with a high ratio of tocotrienol content. To say that Toco-8 is superior to other vitamin E supplements would be an understatement. Toco-8 is a revolution for vitamin supplementation and male health. Consider the following benefits unique to the tocotrienols found in Toco-8 –

Patented & clinically proven to prevent hair loss and stimulate hair growth by an average of 42% (1)

Proven to help reduce cholesterol while improving the HDL : LDL ratio (2-5)

Maintains healthy artery function by reducing atherosclerotic plaque (6-8)

Helps support Testosterone production by maintaining proper Pituitary and Testicular function (9-11)

Yes that is exactly what I was talking about. Hey ASAP can you please pm. I have a question to ask.
