TRX2 Post Menopause Hair Support Pack

Take 3 x TRX2® Molecular Food Supplements and 2 x Post Menopause Hair Supplements each day. All 5 capsules can be taken at the same time, although the manufacturer, Oxford Biolabs, also suggests that you take 1 x TRX2® supplement with each main meal throughout the day, and both Post Menopause capsules together at breakfast.

Take your TRX2® Post Menopause Hair Pack capsules with water. The manufacturer also advises against taking the capsules with alcohol, as they state that this could hamper nutrient absorption, although there is no clinical evidence to support this claim.

Can I take it with other supplements or medication?

We strongly recommend that you speak to your GP before starting any new supplement, particularly if you are taking any medications or already taking other supplements.

It has been suggested that you should not take the TRX2® Post Menopause Hair Pack if you:

Are taking any hormone therapies (HRT, tamoxifen, other aromatase inhibitors such as those used to treat women who have experienced breast cancer) due to the soya isoflavone and flaxseed lignan content. There is not enough evidence to confirm whether these ingredients are safe to be used with hormone medications.

Are taking anticoagulants. This is because L-carnitine may increase the anticoagulant effect in some types of this medication (5) although evidence to support this is limited.

If you are unsure if you can take the TRX2® Post Menopause hair pack, consult with a licensed healthcare professional.

Storage

You should store these hair supplements out of sight and reach of children and vulnerable adults. Keep them in their original container and do not use them after the expiry date, which refers to the last day of the month printed on the label.

There is a possibility that you may experience side effects from taking these hair loss supplements. Reported common side effects include:

• nausea

• vomiting

• abdominal cramps

• heartburn

• gastritis

• diarrhoea

• body odour

More significant reported side effects include seizures, restlessness and interference with thyroid medication. However, these are thought to be an effect of L-Carnitine, which is an ingredient in this supplement, rather than associated with TRX2 trial findings (6).

Who should check with a healthcare professional before taking TRX2® Post Menopause Hair Pack?

We recommend that everyone checks with a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement, particularly if you are already taking other medications or supplements. The manufacturer’s advice states that you should particularly use caution and speak to your GP first if you:

• are taking anticoagulants

• are taking anti-diabetes medication, or with diabetes/glucose intolerance

• regularly consume large quantities of alcohol

• experience frequent gout attacks despite uricosuric therapy

• take any sort of regular medication

• have liver or kidney disease

• have uncontrolled hypertension or heart disease

• are anaemic

• have porphyria

• have digestive system disorders (1)

Warnings and cautions

We have listed above the conditions and medications that should particularly be taken into consideration when starting the TRX2® Post Menopause Hair Pack. However, we would always advise that if you take any other medications or supplements, you speak to your GP to check the safety of adding another into your existing combination.

TRX2® Hair Pack supplements are free from FALPCA-defined major allergens (milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, soybeans) but are made on shared manufacturing equipment so cross-contamination can’t be fully excluded.

You should also avoid taking the supplements in the TRX2® Post Menopause Hair Pack if you are allergic to any of the ingredients contained in either of the capsules. You can find a full list of ingredients on the manufacturer’s website.

These supplements are suitable for vegetarians, but not vegans (1).

Note for pregnancy/breastfeeding

The effects of using the TRX2® Post Menopause Hair Pack have not been assessed in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Therefore, it is not recommended to be taken during this time (1).
