Trica-Sil™ & Milasan™

[Jacob]

Both from the same company..both could be good for hair(silica- BioSil..etc)

Trica-Sil™ is an aqueous extract of Horsetail providing silica through a patented extraction method, filtering out the insoluble parts that are abrasive and harmful. It is entirely soluble and virtually 100% absorbable. Trica-Sil™ provides organic silica, flavonoids, and trace minerals (from the sea), bound to marine lipids. Trica-Sil™ boosts calcium absorption into bone by an average of 50% and has a positive effect on collagen metabolism, and supports healthy hair, skin and nails.

Milasan™ provides essential nutrients for healthy hair growth. The unique Millet seed oil extract contains valuable linoleic acid, the triterpenoid miliacin as well as other phytosterols and squalene to help sustain healthy hair growth and strength. Zinc is essential for healthy hair structure and growth. Biotin helps build proteins including Keratin, an important structural element of hair. Vitamin B6 is needed by the body for protein utilization. Pantothenic Acid is particularly important for faster-growing cells, including those in hair roots, and a prerequisite for healthy hair growth for both men and women.*

I'm considering trying this for awhile. Contains biotin and silica.so wouldn't have to take those separately. Wish the silica was the Tri-Silica..maybe it is.

Here's a pdf on it..and no, that isn't an "after" picture there

Xenobiotics in vitro : The influence of L-cystine, pantothenat, and miliacin on metabolic and proliferative capacity of keratinocytes

http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=17676827

To investigate the effect of cell growth-stimulating agents on human epidermal keratinocytes, we exposed monolayers of normal human keratinocytes derived from foreskin to different concentrations of the amino acid L-cystine, the member of the vitamin B family D-pantothenat, the phytosterol miliacin, and a combination thereof in keratinocyte growth medium. As a test system for the metabolic capacity, we used the activity of mitochondrial deyhdrogenases as measured by XTT, and for the cell proliferation, we determined the BrdU-uptake. The additives, active ingredients of the hair growth drug PRIORIN®, were added in the presence of fully supplemented keratinocyte growth medium or a deficient medium without L-cystine, L-methionine, L-histidin, D-pantothenat, epidermal growth factor, and bovine pituary gland extract. Deficient medium itself reduced the metabolic capacity of keratinocytes to 35% compared with keratinocytes in fully supplemented growth medium, In deficient medium cell, proliferation was not measurable. Increasing doses of L-cystine restored the reduced metabolic capacity from 46% (0.009 mg/L) to 54% (0.09 mg/L) and 92% (0.45 mg/L) in deficient medium. Addition of D-pantothenat (0.43 mg/L) enhanced the metabolic capacity to 150% only in fully supplemented growth medium, compared with untreated controls with growth medium. Miliacin (6 mglmL) increased not only the metabolic capacity (162%) but also stimulated cell proliferation (215%) as measured by BrdU-uptake in growth medium. The combination of all three additives increased the metabolic capacity (245%) synergistically in growth medium. We were able to show effects of D-panthenol, L-lysine, and miliacin on proliferation and metabolic capacity of keratinocyte monocell culture, which was further increased by combination of the three substances. These basic results suggest a beneficial effect on keratinocyte growth and stimulation by products combining these substances (e.g., Priorin®). Furthermore, this work emphasizes the suitability of keratinocyte monolayers for pharmacological testings.

Stem Cells from Apple - Numerous studies have demonstrated that the use of plant stem cell extracts is an extremely valid aid for reinvigorating and protecting the stem cell pool (in our case in the scalp) from physiological ageing.
Millet - As well as various vitamins and salicylic acid, Millet contains numerous minerals that help to strengthen the hair (such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus and silicon); all these elements fortify the roots and the hair.
Ginkgo Biloba - Performs a soothing and decongestant action on the skin and regulates local blood flow, thereby promoting correct oxygenation of the scalp and strengthening it.
Azeloglicina - sebum-normalizing and elasticizing, Azeloglicina acts as an inhibitor of processes that cause hair loss.
Panthenol - Penetrates the hair easily and strengthens its structure.
Cystine - One of the components of keratin, which in turn is a fundamental protein in the composition of hair.
Methionine - Like cystine, methionine contains sulphur, which is fundamental for the strength of the structure of keratin.
Tryptophan - An amino acid with acidifying and nourishing effects, which facilitates the reconstruction of keratin.
Biotin - Contrasts the loss and greying of hair.
Zinc - Extremely useful for regenerating and strengthening hair and other tissues, Zinc performs its action by stimulating collagen and keratin.

Cell division x 2

Miliacin the dual cell division (cell proliferation) of the hair root *. So you get two times more cells of the hair root.

Cellular vitality x 2

The combination of miliacin, cystine and calcium pantothenate can double cellular vitality (the metabolic capacity of cells) of the hair root *. In other words, your cells proliferate hairline 2 times faster.

Proven

A clinical double-blind placebo-controlled trial demonstrated the effectiveness of Priorin, even in severe cases. **

After 3 months of treatment, 100% of patients treated with Priorin found a normal rate of hair growth phase.

Don't go all bananas...that last sentence says "found a normal rate of hair growth phase"..not "100% saw regrowth". Still good though

Jacob,

This stuff looks interesting. Any idea where to order it??

mitcky...missed this post last night

I've only seen it available overseas...but I haven't looked that much. Some examples:
