Re: Stemcelex

That is true.

Saw this in their FAQs:

"Partial or general whitening of the re-grown hair or vitiligo in the area of new hair growth may be observed."

Not sure if I'm really in the mood for vitiligo...

Re: Thymosin beta 4

That's the thing, though... As far as I know, TB4 must be frozen upon reconstitution and even in powder form. I'm no rocket surgeon, by any means, and they very well may have developed a platform to overcome these restrictions... but still... a little elaboration would be comforting.

Duta causes similar shedding for me, which leads me to believe it has something to do with type-1 5ar inhibition. I never had the guts to keep on with Duta or SP and "weather" the sheds. Who knows... could have been helping, but I never stuck around to find out.
