  1. I've used Alpha Brain for the past year+, I've been happy with it. In my experience it provides a little more mental kick to my morning coffee(s) - could be pure placebo but my wife said she could tell a difference when taking it also so maybe not. Might have to step up to Moda and compare the OTC vs script options.

  2. I started this routine in January - stopped my hair loss and caused a very noticeable amount of regrowth. My goal was to treat DHT locally (propecia and the like weren't options I was willing to consider) and treat inflammation of the scalp/hair follicles (read somewhere that likened hair loss to the body having a allergic response to DHT resulting in inflammation at the follicle). In addition, I stopped all AAS except Test - I'm on TRT and typically blast a few times a year but even Anavar makes me shed so I'll just stick with Test for now. I just finished a run of test up to 600mg for several weeks, no increase in shedding.

     

    -Regenepure - alternate DR and NT EOD, at night.

     

    -Tricomin - AM/PM post shower ED - apply before Rogaine - wait a few minutes before applying Rogaine.

     

    -Rogaine Foam - AM/PM post shower ED, after Tricomin.

     

    -Spironolactone cream - M/W/F apply in am to dry hair, leave in until morning shower (20-30 min) then wash out with Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner.

  3. Background - I'm 36 and battling hair loss over the past several years, shedding came in waves but fortunately I had enough hair to start with that it took a long time to get to a danger zone. Late last year I felt I was at the critical point where skin was showing through enough that it was time to decide to shave my head or take one last run at saving what I had - my head wouldn't look good shaved.

     

    Had previously tried propecia but quickly noticed negative sides (mostly in body comp) so I bailed on that - wasn't an option for me to try again. Started researching and bought in to the idea that hair loss (and hopefully regrowth) needs to be treated by blocking DHT (locally) and combatting inflammation in the hair follicle and scalp. Started the below regimen in January - shedding has stopped and have noticeable regrowth, enough that nearly everyone who knows me has commented on the regrowth.

     

    One caveat, I dropped all AAS except testosterone. I'm one of the unfortunate few that even Anavar causes shedding so it's test only for me. I'm on TRT with infrequent blasts of additional test but rarely go above 600mg and even up there I didn't see any increase of shedding. I miss the better anabolics but would rather have my hair.

     

    Passing along in hopes of helping someone who may be in the same position I was in - not sure how much time this will delay the hair loss but for now it's working and I'll ride it out.

     

    -Regenepure - fights DHT and Inflammation. alternate DR and NT EOD, at night.

    -Tricomin - fights inflammation. AM/PM post shower ED - apply before Rogaine - wait a few minutes before applying Rogaine.

    -Rogaine Foam - proven regrowth, I had previously tried the solution but gave me awful migraines - foam doesn't so that's what I use. AM/PM post shower ED, after Tricomin.

    -Spironolactone cream (s5 Cream) - fights DHT locally. M/W/F apply in am to dry hair, leave in until morning shower (20-30 min) then wash out with Tea Tree Shampoo and Condition (I use Paul Mitchell) - this stuff always makes my scalp/hair feel great and Tea Tree seems to have a ton of benefits so figure that might help with inflammation as well.

     

    Good luck.

  4. I respect the community you'll have created here so want to honor the tradition of an intro. Im moving over here from OLM - for the most part the resources over there have done me right, I'm not just talking sources but more so member opinions and such, but I'm definitely looking for a change and can really see the difference having a large percentage of experienced, older guys can make on here.

     

    I'm 36, started cycling when I was 18 - should have waited longer and learned how to gain the old fashion way but you live and learn. Got tired of the ups and downs of cycling so started blasting/cruising when I turned 30 and have felt great since (used to always get sick when I came off - last time got shingles). I go to a doc for TRT and my "blasts" are light by most comparison (test and deca only and mostly just higher test - everything else crushes my hair, including believe it or not Var). Tried a lot of products and cycle styles over the years and I've settled on less is more for what I want. At this point I qualify as more of a boardroom bodybuilder interested primarily in a lean muscular physique - with the extra energy TRT afford me.

     

    HGH is an area I'm most interested in learning more - read a lot of older guys start test and HGH year-round and love it, I'm still wrestling with whether or not I'm ready to commit to the GH life style of daily objects but plan on reading and learning all AB offers on this and more before I decide either way.

     

    Thanks for creating and maintaining a community like AB, I hope to be able to contribute to it.

  5. Just wanted to thank K for the top notch product - followed him here from another board due to the ALP rep and if anything its understated. By far the smoothest gear I've pinned - much smoother than my script test or any other HG I've taken. A few weeks in on the Var and top notch there also. Can't wait to try the rest of the ALP line.
