I haven't noticed anything yet with Reminex.  I've added an antioxidant to my daily intake as well.  Thanks for the offer on the bottles of Reminex.  I will let you know if I decide to keep on it after my supply runs out.

 

 

I take 1 dropperful of DMAE-H3 orally, as well as the original HoShou Wu forumula, and SODZyme/Glisodin as well as a number of LEF forumulas that don't relate to this specifically but follow their general guidelines (Green Tea extract, etc).  On very rare occasions I will take some of the ionic copper orally but I am leary of taking too much copper.

 

I apply 1 dropperful DMAE-H3, 1 capful ionic copper, 1T arginine and 1T carnosine

topically.  I make this on the fly not in advance.  It stinks to high hell, so on occasion I have tried adding some essential oils of orange, lavendar, rosemary, etc. -- but I don't always remember to do that.  I take NAC sustain to stop fallout of hair (I might be considered a norwood .5 or something, but previously had some thinning at the top front).  I am leary of minoxidil, but might explore other things if the thinning comes back.

 

Sometimes I use the dermaroller for extra penetration.

 

I no longer do anything with Hydroderm due to the large number of parabens contained in it.  I think the above ingredients get into the follicle without much issue but one could always try dermarolling or DMSO or something if there was any doubt.

 

I don't have any photos to share.

 

Many people use copper peptides instead of ionic copper topically and are also reporting restoration of color.  Lots of copper orally will probable make one sick, but its up to the individual to figure out any copper zinc issues.  If the mixture smells fine to you then you are zinc deficient <g>.

 

I cannot say for sure this is not causing any kind of dying effect.  The DMAE-H3 will stain clothes, etc.  The copper I use is clear but the peptides will also stain.  From the color restored I don't think that this is the effect.

 

What I notice is many many fewer hairs (seemed zero last time) that are gray when I get a hair cut and see all the hair on the poncho-type-thingy, as opposed to at least 25% previously.

 

I don't want to reccomend brands as I don't really want to degenerate the thread into advertisements.  You can find all the above on the web and you should use normal prudent research yourself to avoid any problems with inferior materials.

 

 

Fighting grey hair for a couple of months and want to give some information that I think is useful. Currently I use the following:

1) 3 tb black strap molasses with 1 tb honey first thing in the morning. I will add and 1 tb of wheat germ instead taking it at noon.

2) 500 mg Solgar PABA after lunch.

and I will add

3) 2 tb apple cider vinegar before sleep.

 

That will not be my final daily habit as from my research came to some useful conclusions.

1) B vitamins are useful 100% but they should provided all day long maybe finding a formula to take every six or eight hours. Thats because our organism absorbs the quantity it needs and dismiss the other - B vitamins water soluble. So it is better to provide the necessary quantity with doses.

2) PABA is very useful but from my research found that needs antioxidant vitamins to respond. Better take in conjuction with E vitamin or with C vitamin.  I would advise to take E vitamin as I have heard that E can give you the desirable solution -back to black - all alone.

Take a look:

Also I will try to keep the supplements for life as I know that [they] are beneficial and work better protecting my hair from turning white than turning white back to color.

3) Today I found by chance the following

http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat4/cat40/cat190/GREY_AWAY_Simple_Spray_on_-_Comb_in._Starts_taking_away_grey_FAST._150ml./index.html

I know that in this forum there are people with fine chemistry knowledge to look the ingredients and explain to us what is that. Is that a copy of Grecian Formula? Maybe is the first product of its kind that we all looked for years, and it is the time for similar products to follow. My only fear is that I don't trust such unknown products and that is a scam, but it is very cheap to give a try as they say you get results in 14 days.

what's the deal with minoxidil? Why are you leary of it? Just curious, you seem well versed on many of these items currently available.

addition, I suspect it would also avoid any bounce back effect from stopping the supplementation. 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, I am not clear how often you apply DMAE, Copper etc. to scalp. Daily?

 

Thanks

 

The second link is to an article on people who had success with this product in Bloomington, Illinois where this guy is based.  I've been getting so skeptical of reminex and melancor that I used a people finders website (free site) on the names given with the testimonials on those websites.  I never found a match on Reminex or Melancor, but I tried the same with the people listed in the resthairation article and I found them with their location in and around Bloomington, IL with their listed ages from the article.  That is the reason I decided to give it a try.

 

As always, I will keep you all up to date on my progress.  I'm now using Reminex, tyrosine, antioxidants, and resthairation color rejeuvanating shampoo and conditioner.  I am also buying a scalp massager.  I kind of surprise myself with the lengths I will go to try and stop the graying.

I had the same thoughts about a shampoo.  The directions require leaving it in your hair for 5 minutes before rinsing and it is amazing what the skin will absorb in a short amount of time, but I still understand and share your skepticism.  A little bit of the shampoo foams up like crazy in my hair so the bottle will last at least a few months if not about six or more.  So figuring around $10 a month, I don't feel like I'm throwing away quite as much money.  The conditioner does smell like fish just like someone mentions in that article.  The shampoo smell is strange but allright.  It reminds me of that oily dip they give you for your bread at Italian restaurants like Bravo.  I'm at work at the moment, but I'll have to post the ingredients on here soon.

 

As always, I'll let everyone know if I have any success.  I'm trying so many different things that it'll be difficult to pinpoint what worked for me (assuming I'm successful).

 

 

 

Sounds like they are using DMAE-H3. 

 

 

I use to use any $2 shampoo that I could find since I have very short hair, but I can definitely say that the restHairation is better simply as a shampoo than anything I have used before.  The conditioner works well also, but is difficult to spread around and smells pretty bad.  It doesn't seem to leave my hair smelling too bad though.  I will get the list of ingredients and post them soon.

 

Sum 41,

 

I used Melancor for 4 months and I have been taking Reminex for just over 4 months.  They are very similar products but the company that sells Melancor has an "F" rating with the better business bureau while Reminex has a favorable rating.  Their customer service department is much better also (or it exists as opposed to Melancor which seems to avoid people).  I don't know if Reminex works but they seem to be more reputable at least.  I have read a lot of reviews around the internet and it seems like there are some people who have had success with these products but most people are pretty unhappy with them.  I will probably finish the 8 months supply of Reminex that I originally purchased and let you all know if I have any success.  So far I don't think there is any change.
