Potassium Chloride added to Nizoral 2% shampoo

hi CS and others,

Do you think it will be helpful if added potassium chloride powder right after i lathered up with Nizoral 2% shampoo and leave it in hair for 5-10 min?

thank you!

My personal opinion is that Nizoral is an important tool that can be used to battle hair loss. I've thought about mixing it with other things in the past but decided against it. I think the key with Niz is how you apply it. Not one of those shampoos you quickly rub in and then wash out. I usually massage it in, and rub fairly vigrously (but not going crazy), especially around the vertex area until it actually feels as though its all 'dried in' and then wash out. Hair does feel very clean afterwards and thicker.

thanks for the reply Joey.

I'm trying niz now. I was wondering if adding some potassium chloride would help.

I do not want to sound like the Adrenal Freak - but if you are you in AF and are producing less Aldosterone, you need to avoid additional and systemic potassium like plague. May be not to that extent but you get the point...

ok! got it Lund! i didnt know potassium had ill effects on adrenals.

thank you

I've got something else to add about Potassium chloride. I used it topically and it felt great, but there was one major problem. I caused me to smell terrible until I stopped using it.

Well pottasium by itself may not be directly doing harm to your adrenals - However; in AF your adrenals may be producing less Aldosterone. If you have less aldosterone, you need more sodium. If you need more sodium, generally you will have excess of potassium (imbalance). As such you will find time and time again folks telling us to take Sea salt in AF. This is to compensate for low aldosterone, hence low sodium and therefore manage the potassium imbalance.

It is not to say to avoid potassium totally - just do NOT indulge in extra Potassium intake, generally more sodium is needed...

hi lund, thank you again! wuts funny is that i have a VERY low sodium diet! I guess its way TOO low! it does make perfect sense. i never add salt to my food and i guess i bought into that ideaology of never adding salt to food!
