ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

Where does TRIX Basic Alpha fit?

TRIX Basic Alpha is formulated as nutritional support for gradual pattern thinning and can be used alongside minoxidil.

Both components have their own place within the same structured routine.

Look at the crown and hairline

Gradual thinning at the crown and top is more consistent with androgenetic alopecia than sudden diffuse loss or round bald patches.
