Tricomin Review

After years of scientific research involving copper and amino acids, Tricomin was developed by ProCyte Corp as a hair loss prevention product.  Based upon the premise that hair is dead tissue, once formed beneath the skin through proteins and amino acids, Tricomin’s goal is to deliver nutrients to the bulb of the hair follicle.  Studies showed that copper has a positive relationship with skin health, and specifically to the root of the hair, and thus, it is a main ingredient.

Copper delivers ”micronutrients” to the hair follicles to help in the production of amino acids.  The benefits of copper, according to ProCyte Corp, include:

•    Melanin production for healthy pigmentation
•    Energy metabolism
•    Scavaging of damaging free radicals
•    Collagen and elastin production for healthy skin

Additionally, Tricomin is an inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase, which is the enzyme that transforms the male hormone, testosterone, into Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT.  DHT has been linked as one of the main triggers for pattern hair loss in men who are genetically predisposed for pattern baldness.  Products developed for the further prevention of hair loss use a DHT inhibitor.   Since copper has shown to be a DHT inhibitor in hair follicle roots, it can be a solution for the prevention of hair loss.

Benefits of Tricomin

Tricomin products are not meant to be hair restorers.  Rather, it is a first line of defense when men initially notice hair loss along the front hairline and on top of the head, or vertex.  Ticomin is placed into products like shampoos, conditions, and hair sprays to be used topically on the scalp.

As noted above, Tricomin helps prevent the effects of DHT on the hair root, which causes hair loss.  The product also helps reinforce hair root follicles and improve hair structure.  It also adds body to existing hair so that fine or limp hair looks fuller.   In addition, Tricomin protects and maintains current hair condition so that existing hair continues to flourish.

Method of Treatment

Tricomin is used in products like shampoos, conditioners, and hair sprays.  The usual dose is to wash once a day with the product.  Since Tricomin is a topical formula, it can be used in combination with other hair loss prevention products, such as Propecia or Rogaine.

Costs of Tricomin

Costs of Tricomin depend on the product.  Bottles of shampoo can be as little as $15, while follicle therapy spray solutions can run upwards of $50.

Side Effects

The makers of Tricomin claim that no side effects were experienced in their usage tests.  However, with any topical shampoo or spray, potential effects could include dry, itchy scalp, and a possible rash.
