Niacin – A Natural Agent for Hair Growth

Niacin is a water-soluble B-vitamin. It helps our body convert food into energy and is vital for proper blood circulation and digestive functioning. Niacin is also involved in DNA repair and has been found to increase the production of several hormones within the adrenal gland.

The name “Niacin” was derived from the phrase “nicotinic acid + vitamin.” It actually refers to a family of organic compounds that all possess the same biochemical activity. Other names for Niacin include Vitamin B3, Vitamin PP, nicotinic acid and nicotinamide.

Benefits of Niacin:

Niacin is most commonly used to regulate cholesterol levels and enhance metabolism.
At certain dosages, Niacin has been proven to reverse atherosclerosis by reducing total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density protein (LDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels while increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations within the body.
Because it stimulates the secretion of insulin, Niacin has also been found to be beneficial in customers with diabetes when prescribed in low doses.

Niacin is found in variety of foods including liver, chicken, beef, fish, cereal, peanuts and legumes. It is also synthesized from Tryptophan, an amino acid found in meat, fish, yogurt, nuts and eggs.

Although Niacin deficiency (“pellagra”) is rare in most industrialized nations, it can be very dangerous. Symptoms include dementia, vomiting, severe dermatitis, insomnia, tender gums, inflamed mucous membranes and general apathy or fatigue.

Dr. Whitfield answers your questions.

question: Dear Dr. Whitfield, I’ve read that Niacin can cause side-effects like skin flushing. Is this something TRX2 customers should be worried about? Are there any more serious complications?

Appreciate your help, Andrew K – sent via email.

answer: Hi Andrew, thanks for your question. It is true that pharmacological doses of niacin (1.5 - 6 grams per day) often lead to side effects that can include dermatological conditions such as skin flushing, itching, dry skin, and skin rashes.

TRX2^TM products contain a maximum of 40 mg (= 0.04 grams) per serving and therefore highly reduce the chance of any unwanted side effects. However, in order to comply with E.U. regulations and to fully inform our customers we have added a note on this to the product label of our supplement product.

A patent-pending combination of natural micronutrients, TRX2^TM Molecular Hair Growth Complex was developed based on laboratory tests that turned closed, dysfunctional potassium channels into open, fully activated potassium channels. In humans, TRX2^TM Molecular Hair Growth Supplement has an overall effect of stopping hair loss and promoting the growth of a fuller, healthier head of hair.

The proprietary potassium channel stimulating complex TRX2^TM contains potassium, L-carnitine, BCAA and nicotinic acid all of which work with your body to prevent hair loss and stimulate the growth of new hair on a molecular level.

The TRX2^TM formula, similar to the FDA approved treatment minoxidil (Rogaine^TM, Regaine^TM or RIUP^TM), has properties of potassium channel openers, causing hyperpolarisation of the hair follicle's plasma membrane, thereby revitalising and increasing the size of shrunken hair follicles, resulting in longer, thicker and significantly more hair over the course of treatment.

Niacin is structurally similar to minoxidil and, in combination with the other TRX2^TM compounds, helps to keep potassium channels turned open and hair follicles operating at peak efficiency.

Uncovering the right formula of natural ingredients was a massive undertaking. Our dedicated team of scientists needed to design a variety of new research methods specifically for the purpose of targeting potassium ion channels for hair growth. The result is our first product, TRX2^TM Molecular Hair Growth Complex.

You've waited a long time for this moment – for the opportunity to prevent further hair loss and re-invigorate your failing follicles forever. Try our products today and help us make hair loss history. You are worth it!
