TRX2
[edit]TRX2 is a natural hair loss treatment manufactured and developed by Oxford Biolabs Ltd. in the United Kingdom.[1] [2] The company was founded by former scientists of the University of Oxford in August 2008.
The Product
[edit]In search for a possible future treatment, Dr. Thomas Whitfield, one of the founders of Oxford BioLabs believes that the answer to hair loss are small protein structures called potassium ion channels which can be found within the hair follicle and are essential for hair growth.[3][4][5] The ingredients contained in TRX2 have documented effects on hair growth.[6] TRX2 is a food supplement product formulated for men and women suffering from the early stages of hair loss (patterns 1-4 on the Hamilton-Norwood scale).[7][8]
List of Ingredients:[9]
- Potassium Chloride
- Biotin
- Carnipure™ Tartrate (L-Carnitine Tartrate)[10][11]
- L-Leucine
- Isoleucine
- Valine
- Nicotinic Acid
The Research Project
[edit]TRX2 hosts several research projects with the aim of developing novel treatment options for Androgenetic Alopecia. The name TRX2 is derived from the Ancient Greek word “trichos”, meaning hair and the number 2 stands for “second generation”.
The several areas of TRX2’s independent research are: hair growth, the prevention of hair loss and a possible cure for Androgenetic Alopecia and other hair growth disorders.[12][13]
