Have I tried the new TRX2 products? Have I heck!

As many of you hair loss sufferers will undoubtedly understand, losing your hair can make one extremely cynical - especially when you know a thing or two about ingredients! 

Once I heard our friends over at Oxford BioLabs were releasing a couple of new products, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. As many of my readers will know, I'm definitely not a fan of TRX2 hair supplement, and I have admitted to being mugged off by this joke of a supplement for a large period of my life. Much time and money was wasted on this supplement, so you'll understand why I don't have any hope for anything associated with TRX2/Oxford BioLabs. 

So, the website states "The TRX2® topical products are based upon the same, effective formula as the TRX2® capsules, ensuring that the same active ingredients are delivered to your scalp externally."

This makes me wonder, why bother releasing these two products at all? There isn't anything new or revolutionary added to the brand. Also, why release two topical formulas when they pretty much contain the same ingredients?

It seems odd that the dosage of Biotin exceeds the dosage of Potassium, when you consider how 'revolutionary' potassium has become in their supplement. To me, it just doesn't make sense how the simple addition of potassium can cure hair loss. Why not just buy a load of vitamin pills packed with potassium? Surely this would be far more effective and cheaper than using TRX2, right? I don't buy it!

Anyway, it's not for me to pass judgement on these products, and seriously, I honestly hope they work for many of you who are willing to take the plunge, but I can safely say I shall not be buying these new products, because I'm pretty sure they just won't work.

What is the best Hair Loss Treatment: TRX2 or HR23+?

If you're a big reader of my blog then you'll be aware I've tried a number of treatments and products in an attempt to beat my balding problem. I've tried a number of high-profile products as well as many smaller and unknown brands - some have been relatively effective, and others have been a complete waste of time and money. 

Two of the biggest and most-advertised anti-hair loss supplements on the market are TRX2 and HR23+. If you've been conducting your own research on hair loss products then it's likely you'll already be quite familiar with these two powerhouses. 

TRX2 was brought to market in 2011, and HR23+ in 2014, respectively. I was tempted by the 'science' of TRX2 and decided to give this Oxford based supplement a try. With all the talk of potassium channels and stimulation of hair follicles, I honestly thought this might be the breakthrough that we hair loss sufferers had finally been waiting for. Upon much closer inspection, TRX2 is nothing but a vitamin pill with potassium in it. It's amazing how much one will believe when in a situation of desperation.

I came across HR23+ shortly after their launch last year, and although my expectations weren't as high as they were for TRX2, I ended up trying HR23+ just to see how much good they could do for my hair. What I like about HR23+ is that it doesn't mess about with 'science', it just gets down to the basics - the tried, tested and clinically proven. To put it in basic terms, HR23+ simply packs a bunch of highly effective DHT blocking properties with a load of hair growth properties that work in conjunction with each other to help stop hair loss and promote decent hair growth. HR23+ is not a revolutionary formula, but it has been hugely effective for my hair.

Trust me, I've been through a heck of a lot of hair products over the years, as you'll see from reading all my reviews on here, and so I have gradually gained a good understanding of what works for me and what isn't effective. Neither of these supplements cured my balding problem, but HR23+ had a much better effect than TRX2. The positives I gained from using HR23+ included a decrease of hair fall, an increase of hair growth and a much thicker looking head of hair. I gained absolutely nothing from using TRX2 and I still haven't come across anybody who actually has. 

I used TRX2 for a total of one year and there were no visible signs of improvement in my hair. I am continuing to use HR23+ as I have seen visible improvements from using this supplement.

Here is my full breakdown of both supplements:

TRX2

Positives: Nothing positive to report.

Negatives: No visible improvements over a 12 month period.

HR23+

Positives: Stoppage of hair loss and fuller hair growth. 

Negatives: Slightly on the expensive side.
